Well another 10 hours in the shop today. And still two more days left in the long weekend! We'll have the subframe completed in the morning and on the ground waiting to go under the car. Josh has the firewall in primer and ready to be blocked then put it in paint late tomorrow afternoon.
Today was a good day. Only hiccup was the spindle issue. Plans were to use the ones Ty had already modded, but once I realized they were the later series and the bearings and hubs we had were for the first series. We had to tear Ty's old stuff down, cut the needed places, drill and tap the holes, media blast and paint. Ate up about 4 hours of the day on just that. But I took the time to grind all the casting marks off and smooth the spindles out and just make them cleaner looking.
Other than that things are going smoothly. I'll be roughing in all the body work on the shell tomorrow and getting it ready to go in high build for blocking. As well as media blasting and getting the fenders bodyworked and in primer also...
Things are really plugging along. The man upstairs is on our side thats for sure!
I'm also taking a bunch of high res photos to do the official updates on Tuesday. I just don't have any editing software on the new home PC to do it now.
Thanks for all the support!
