Chassis Stripped

The chassis is as stripped as it is going to get. I'll try to get it off to the media blaster this week if I can find a shop that is open.

Tub's Back!

The Tub is Back from Blasting I FINALLY got around to picking up the tub from media blasting. Sadly, the crummy bed liner didn't cooperate with the process and there's a great deal still requiring removal. My options are manually removing, getting a needle scaler, aircraft paint stripper (AKA cancer), or maybe driving it to Oregon for an acid bath. Whatever I do, it won't be soon. The focus now is on completing the rolling chassis, then I'll turn my attention back to the tub.

Engine's Out!

Well the 2F is finally been dropped off at Douglas Machine for rebuild. The old F is still in the 40... The rebuild will take about a month to complete. I am still waiting on my EFI, wiring harness, and few parts for my power steering. Meanwhile, i need to collect all the little bits for the engine... distributor, header, motor mounts, filters, hoses, alternator, starter, radiator, etc. I have an engine stand and my attention is slowly turning toward demo now. I need to get the front sheet metal removed and unbolt the engine and drivetrain to get it out of the Cruiser. I'll then begin work on prepping and painting the engine bay as well as running the new harness. I will purchase the transmission and transfer case rebuild kits and get those done as well while I wait. Oh, and I have decided on a color scheme! The winner is BASF Desert Tan, Brown canvas, with black accents. The hardtop will remain bright white and the tan and black will be carried over int

SPRING IS HERE... SPRINGS ARE HERE!

Got Em! Been waiting a while for these and upon initial inspection, well worth the wait. Can't wait to start assembly. Specifications 4" lift springs "Expedition" dual coil packs - primary springs rated for unloaded top off weight, while secondary springs are rated for fully loaded/top on weight. This provides ideal ride and handling characteristics under either condition. Center Pins pushed out (fwd in front/back in rear) 2" to increase wheelbase, improve approach/departure angle, and improve steering geometry. Rear springs are four inches longer than stock to increase wheel travel and improve ride comfort.
