He got a lot done this weekend, although this part never looks like much. Got all of link mounting points placed and tacked. From here it'll really start looking like a car fast.

The trans adapter was flipped and mounted from above.

He machined and welded spacers to the link tabs to act as misalignments.

Very cool, I love watching these rigs go together...:cool:


BTW, is the lower rear drivers link bent???

The links are all old used parts used for mock up. When complete it will have heat treated Spidertrax links.
 
Is there going to be a t case support ,off the tcase mount?

I just had re place my tranny case because of a cracked tail stock. my tcase was un supported

I know that Binders is leaning back kind of like this too.. Just asking cause I am unsure. :awesomework:

i fought heating problems with a angled radiator and it was no where close to that.

I had cooling issues for a long time too. Mounted a Taurus fan and never had another problem. My radiator is about the same angle as the one in the picture, maybe a bit flatter.....hijack off.

My tcase is an atlas 2, there no need to support it at the tail shaft.
