Does that have enough pull?

For some reason, mine doesn't so far.

It's supposed to have 600lb pull that's what the site says. Maybe the cables need a little tightening? It only has a short pull legnth.

Not sure. Still on the lift. Seems like it pulls pretty hard.

The cute little red light on my switch didn't light up when I pushed the button.... I called them and they were pretty helpful...ping them, I bet they will help you resolve, seems like a good group.

A little rust repair on the A-pillars and tying in the roll bars.

what tools are you using to knock down the welds and finish the metal.

The metal finish looks damn good, 3M makes a spot weld grinding disc that I started using recently for use with a die grinder , it knocks down welds insanely quickly 3M #01991, I started using it after my pile of spent 2 inch discs turned into a mountain

Ahhh! Very cool, thanks for the advice. Ordered!

The 2" discs don't seem to hurt as much as the spiral drums! Geeez! I can only think of one place that you can burn through dollar bills quicker!

What a great build! Your attention to detail and metal work is admirable! Looking forward to seeing your project hit the street. Keep up the great work!

Fab'd up the automatic trunk release set up. Used an actuator from Electric Life. Works pretty nice. Has a button for inside the cab and a 12 channel remote, though probably only use the door locks. Made a custom arm and welded it to the trunk release tab on the factory trunk latch. Had to make a new plate to mount the latch, factory location wouldn't work with the fiberglass trunk lid.



Sounds a little more intense than it really is, just echoing in the metal trunk. That cable clamp is just temporary, will use a cable crimp for final assembly.


AutoRad radiator and core support arrived. REAL nice piece, everything looks great. Serious attention to detail and that was continued in the packaging for shipment, well done x 10! Looks good (will be painted later). Fit perfect. Had them install a condenser but decided to do remote oil and power steering. Dual 14" Fans and their handmade shroud....looks awesome!

Needed to do a little re-do of the lower section of the front fenders, was a little wavy after the flares were done.


Started the inner fenders by building the flanges.
