Little update, I'm headin to Monroe Wednesday evening to get a set of 73-87 rallies and hopefully I'll be stopping in Statesville to grab my seat from the upholstery shop. I should have pictures posted Thursday morning, stay tuned.

Are you sure 11 lbs? What did you check them with, just curious. I would have thought they would be somewhere around 3-400

LOL I thought you were asking for their weight, not their weight rating! ha ha so yeah they weigh 11lbs ea, their rating I have no Idea... Rob at No Limit Engineering here on the forum would probably know the answer to that question.

Haha, okay. I was thinking, there's no freakin way they only load 11 pounds, haha. Thank you tho, I really appreciate it. How would I get ahold of Rob?

I started by taking a grinder with a scotch bright pad and got rid of the paint around the dent. Then I took a sand blaster and blasted the center of the dent so the paint was gone and I could get a solid weld in the center. Next I took a slide hammer and roughed in the majority of the dent. Then i took a straight edge to gauge how much more it needed and filled in the rest with weld until I was happy.

Graham57a · 04-19-2012, 08:56 AM

new wheels

Graham57a · 04-19-2012, 09:35 AM

Also redid that fuel line

**67cheby** · 04-19-2012, 09:41 AM

nice

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-19-2012, 02:27 PM

Looking good!

Graham57a · 04-19-2012, 04:02 PM

Thanks guys. I'm picking my seat from the upholstery shop next week and hopefully getting my fenders, tailgate, hood, doors, and cowl to the painter so he can paint the jambs and we can bolt this thing together. That's about it for the update, impatiently waiting

Graham57a · 05-11-2012, 11:06 AM

We have a seat

Graham57a · 05-11-2012, 11:07 AM

Graham57a · 05-11-2012, 04:08 PM

**67cheby** · 05-11-2012, 04:11 PM

WOW, that looks great is it the chrome one ?

mcbassin · 05-11-2012, 04:16 PM

Looks like some real nice parts and good progress.

Graham57a · 05-11-2012, 05:05 PM

Thanks guys. Yea Cheby, it's the chrome outer. The bowtie that I got was kinda beat up but the chrome is solid so I'm thinking a carbon fiber insert?? Any other ideas? My dad said brushed aluminum.

RCbowtie69 · 05-12-2012, 10:40 AM

Looking good on the progress you've made,the seat looks great.Hope to see more soon & keep on truckin'

Thanks Cheby. I had a really good job lined out for the summer and it was looking like I could've had this thing done by the time I go back to school but I broke my wrist and I have to wear a cast for 8-10 weeks so that kinda put a damper on my situation. I'll still do my best to keep plugging away at this thing, keep posted

**67cheby** · 05-12-2012, 02:07 PM

well that just STINKS ! sorry about the bad luck !
