yeah, finding a local water jet can be a near life-changing event :D Cool build.

Good job! Those exhaust tips are really trick looking. Did you consider making them from stainless? Would save you from having to paint them.
Is there a specific reason you used so much 3/16" sheet on the frame? Seems you could have easily saved a boatload of weight (without compromising strength) by going with thinner material. Did you do any analysis on the kinematics of the suspension or is it mostly from the hip? |

And I used 3/16" cause that was what I felt suit, I didn't do much strength analysis, but being my first chassis I sure learned a lot. |
Looking good keep up the great work.:thumbsup:

Nick, I'd like to thank you!! After going over this entire thread a few times and being floored by what you've done, I've decided to put my Ranger back to daily driver status and I've started looking for a rcsb 88-98 Chevy to build. Haven't owned a Chevy in almost 10 years, now I can't wait to have another!

Good idea, who wants a ranger anyway?! haha, just kidding.... but thanks for the kind words.

I think it'd be way too expensive to try to make them, a LOT of work went into them,
Update time: So this water jet thing freakin' rocks! So nice to design them in CAD and have them 1-2 days later. Couple brackets I had cut, were the cage plates, explained in the video http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../011110001.jpg Swaybar Plates to weld to the bottom side of the frame to hold the muscle bar http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../011110002.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../011110003.jpg New rear lower bag plates http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../011110004.jpg Lower Shockwave Mount http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j3.../011110005.jpg |
