Looking good man! Keep the pics a coming!

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

Get the brackets figured out yet Brandon?

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

Yeah man I got it igured out. Let's just say... I'm an idiot.

The powder coater got my last pulley finished today and I had to have my brand new clutch fan powder coated. Why would they paint them gold?

I will be home in a couple of weeks and should have the motor completely wrapped up. I ordered and paid for my ceramic coated Sanderson headers on 3-11-11, I called two weeks later and they were being ceramic coated when I called. I called yesterday to find out where they were and guess what, they were being ceramic coated. I think somebody might be fibbing. They better be nice is all I know.

Ya they better for being coated twice :lol:

Cool man glad you got it figured out. So the pulley you got from me the other day worked out then, right?

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

It looked like it was going to work to me. It is the correct part # so it should.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

Looking forward for some pics of all this nice stash of coated parts! :D

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

If I can figure out how to get the pics to post from my image shack account on my phone I will give you guys some updated pics. I got the front of my engine buttoned up and got my headers in. I just need to get another alternator and power steering pump. These are the best pics I have for now. I will get some better ones once I get it all set in the frame. I am going to try to go to the tranny shop and have him get started on my trans tomorrow.

Baclay9's, what make and type headers are those? Sweet build greg

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

They are Sanderson BB8 headers. The quality on them is unreal. Plus they are 3/4 length headers so they won't hang below the frame. The ceramic coating looksawesome as well.

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

I agree! You're going to have to take some time off work and get that beast going! :D

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

I am actually off for two weeks right now. All I have to do is get the trans painted and I can drop it and the motor in the frame. I am having a hard time setting the time aside to get it done. It is driving me crazy!!!

Dude be like Nike and JUST DO IT! :lol:

Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 

Motor and Trans is in. I thought I was going to be able to get away with the stock crossmember but I would have to run the passenger side exhaust under it and it would be way to close to the ground. I think I am going to go get a piece of thick walled 1"x3" tubing and make a crossmember out of it. I think both sides will go over the top of it. After that I need a slip yoke and get my drive shaft modified. Then I have a posi to drop in with a little help from this feller I know. THEN I can finally set the cab back on.

I know everyone loves pics so here you go.
