!New Improved! "Last Minute" buildup thread

Sounds like a wiener to me there Mr. Red Adaire...

Well, hadn't made it quite as far as I hoped. Spent a lot of time last weekend with the new house deal.

Last weekend I got everything in that pile a few posts back organized and started cleaning things up. Took a wirewheel and a stripping disk and got the housing down to bare metal. I installed the knuckles to figure out where I need to trim the marlin gussets. Came out to about 1/2" from the edge of the upper race. They still make contact at full turn, I need to grind the "point" off and make a straight edge from the weld to the upper radius.

I also fabbed up the steering stops using the plates included in the marlin gusset kit and some 3/4" x 1/8" strap.

Did you read that he has used headers available?!

Yes. He's also got four boggers, two axles, two half doors, a 6 point cage, a tcase, and a partridge in a pear tree.

I'm only interested in used racing slicks at this point.

I'll start the bidding at $50 Bob.

You're gonna have to do better than that. My friend Luis has already offered $500 to see it crushed at the monster truck show.:laughing:
