Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
If possible I hope you can get down this way Saturday May 9th… will text you about our Studio's 20th Anniv shindig... Quote:
So, in the midst of remodeling our bedroom, read paint and flooring, I plan on getting the motor perches installed this coming weekend and dropping the Engine and Trans in so I can prepare for any Trans mount mods that may be required for the NV3500 5 Speed... On top of that, May marks 20 years my Tattoo Studio has been open here in Searcy… Saturday May 9th we are hosting an impromptu Truck, Car, Hot Rod & Bike Cruise-In… Thanks Man!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
That's some good progress Don.
I just showed Nicola the wheels, this is a great pic for a motivational screensaver too. What were those wheels from? I cannot remember if you mentioned previously.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Was lucky enough to squeeze in some additional albeit valuable truck time...
I started in yesterday getting the trans crossmember mounted, but as soon as I got the holes drilled I had to take my daughter to the ER… She's been having low BP problems and chest pains, and recent Dr. and ER visits have netted very little relief or even explanations… Well last night while going through her test results the Dr's discovered a blood clot in her lung… She is now hospitalized and being treated… so today I got back after it and mounted the crossmember… Here's the frame with my markings for the drilling process... IMG_2787 by ta2don, on Flickr I neglected to get a pic of it bolted in… but here's a shot I took before drilling… IMG_2796 by ta2don, on Flickr Then I measured for my driveshaft, and in the process was pleasantly surprised to find that the Driveshaft a friend hooked me up with is the proper length... I originally measured and thought it was an inch too long… I referred back to a saying my ex-father in law used to repeat often… "Measure Twice, Cut Once.":roll eyes: I then removed the yoke and u-joints… IMG_2812 by ta2don, on Flickr IMG_2814 by ta2don, on Flickr IMG_2815 by ta2don, on Flickr Then I cleaned the driveshaft and correct yoke of rust, grease and grime and finally painted... IMG_2819 by ta2don, on Flickr IMG_2820 by ta2don, on Flickr Tomorrow I'll get new U-joints and get those installed... That's all today...
