Stalker #85 headed back to Arkansas

Pick up the pace Shane. Only 6 months to the NJMP 7s gathering. :willy_nilly::party: Tom

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

 

I am corrupted...I absolutley believe that too much power is nearly enough. :jester:

Tom, I need longer arms...Houston is a long way from AR. :svengo:

[Croc]

I need longer arms...

 

Hardly....the knuckles drag a lot as is! :jester:

 

Happy New Year Shane! :cheers:

[xcarguy]

More trial-fitting and a little fab work. The shock comparison shows the older (heavier) steel-bodied GAZ on the left and the new (lighter) aluminum-bodied GAZ on the right...both have 300 lb springs.

[xcarguy]

. . . . . :smash:

[MightyMike]

It's coming together nicely.

[Bonjo2]

Very cool. I am a little surprised you didn't opt for the IRS and miata spindles.

 

I love the side impact bars!

[xcarguy]

Avery, a straight-axle Storker is plenty...if I can keep it on the ground. :jester:

[xcarguy]

...a little more. :smash:

[xcarguy]

On the ground ....:smash:

[MichaelD]

Great. You are further along than I thought you would be, But then I did not know you would suck the kids into the madness ;~)

 

BTW Why did you elect to choose springs with fewer coils?

 

See you in July

Michael,

 

The aluminum GAZ shocks arrived with the different coil design (fewer coils), but same spring rate...wasn't planned.

 

Wish I could make NJMP this year, but with the new job in Houston and maintaining two households, I have very limited time in AR to work on the car. As I told Mike and Tom, I took a week of vacation to come home and get it on the ground.

 

. . . . . But I’ll get there…eventually. :smash:

[xcarguy]

More aluminum panels . . . :lurk:

[xcarguy]

Drive shaft and front fenders . . . . .:lurk:

[xcarguy]

Go pedal, battery and seats . . . :lurk:

[xcarguy]

Steering . . . :lurk:

[xcarguy]

Tank . . . :lurk:

[Croc]

Thats an encouraging amount of progress. One thing has got me though - do you panel under the seats or do you leave it open a'la Flintstone style for power and braking?

Caught that, did ya? Robin had forbid my rebuilding the power plant...so...been doing extreme leg workouts and Suave has been practicing his 'yabba dabba do!!!'.

 

BTW, do you have a tow rope? :jester:

[Croc]

I bet that goes round corners steady as a rock....
