Its inside joke. Austin will finished it. Its at our buddies house that has too many project and not enough time. He is super OCD and ADDDHDHDHDHHHDHDDD. The garage its in is not complete even though there is really nothing holding it back from being finished.

Parts ordered and on hand for this next week while im home

454bbc
Tutbo400 trans
Np205 (this is a maybe depends on mounting style)
Ebay 3 core radiator and fans
Dual optima batter mount
Tierod taper to 3/4" bolt adapters for steering
Still debating on ordering a harness or just haking the factory

To do list:
Make midplate for engine/trans
Trans mount
Radiator mount
Fuelcell mount
Mount up optima mount
Try to figure what's wrong with motor. Thinking its timing chain issues.

Make actual links and square up axles to chassis.

That's an ambitious list. Good luck and really hope you complete it.

They get a little scary at times, but he always finds a way to keep it together.

No big updates tonight. Just stripped the motor of its accessories then washed it. Also been cleaning the shop out.

I see no buggy work, just midnight autoparts............it all makes sense now.

Cool find with the trans and case!

Found the motors problems. Stripped off cam sprocket and stretched chain.

Nothing big. Got motor positioned-ish. Going to start mounts tonight.
Just satisfying seeing it at least in there

Can anyone explain why all my pics are turning sideways??

 

[YROC FAB.]

Will someone tell him how to make his pic so they are not sideways before i break my neck. I don't know how or i would.

Today was fun. Got a bunch of parts. Bunch of f-ed up, wrong, and not even the part number I ordered kind of parts. But at least I got one motor mount fabricated with some plates cory made.

 

[_Auzzy_]

Took the plates Cory made and fanned up my motor mounts. Just need to bolt the driver side on when it cools off. So in like 2 days when I get home. Debating on ordering my atlas to transmission adapter so I can get that mount done and also the 2nd pair of engine mounts off either the back of the heads or maybe even a full midplate.

This thread is worthless without Pics you tease.

This thread is worthless without straight Pics you tease.
