Starting a stock altered
 

Started by moving the front axle all the way out which gave me 49" of wheelbase and Ive been working on weight bars. Ive got the trans pan and belly bar done. Still working on the telescoping weight bar.

Looks good. Haven't heard much from you in a while. How did it go for you pulling? :bigthink:

Good job! :beerchug:

Not the best. Didn't have weight for the first one and the sled wasn't really set up well and neither was the track. Other then that the next pull was 175ft before it popped out of gear. I've hooked chain to a few of my buddies and beat them, but I've been kinda easy on it since i still have course axles and 26' tires. Can't wait to get my fine splines. I also broke a grade 8 drive shaft bolt the other week. Makes a nice pop, but a cheap 11 cent fix.

Well at least your learning. My guess is that pulling is a lot like racing the first few years are like going to school, you find out what works and what doesn't.

Yes sir, pretty much

if you already broke a driveshaft bolt you have an alignment problem

I know. I made my own motor mounts the best i could. I'm buying the correct ones soon.

Thinking about powder coating the frame black and spraying the body panels with retro red metal specks. And maybe used grade 8 bolts for everything to give it a gold bolt look. Or maybe black chrome

I think you'd better spend your money on parts instead of paint............
