Looking for feedback. last night i tacked up 1/2 of the mounts of the AC condensor located right in front of the radiator. I realized as I was cleaning up for the night that I may have made a mistake - but I want everyone's opinion. I'm worried that the location I picked precludes me from...

you're talking about the bent filler plates, right? i agree - those need some better fits for the welds. When i take it apart to actually weld I think i'm going to just bevel the bent plate. maximize the space available for the bolts (you'll see what i mean later)

Went to cycle the suspension with the tire on to plan for oil cooler clearances & discovered that the fender mounts were built asymmetrically. Andrew & I had picked up a feature on the body & a bolt hole in the grille previously but it turns out that we picked some unreliable features. it was...

excuse me, an offset what now? is that also a solution for the D44 stuff on that inner axle joint that has to be ground out usually?

pivoting off the radiator mount a little bit & working to get all the front body panels mounted so I can mock up all the front end coolers & things for packaging work. A buddy helped me get the hood mocked up, then decided I need to get the fenders back on so I can cycle everything & see how...

Making some progress on radiator mounting. Gonna have the homie come weld these out for me next week once i'm done with the mockups & test fits. I gotta make sure I can still lift & wiggle the radiator out with these wings on it. Also trying to get the hood mounted to double check clearances but...

lower radiator mount work in progress AC compressor mount - was originally a Kwik performance mount provided by vintage air. I needed more clearance to the bypass on the passenger side so I had china make me a bracket that scooched the compressor more inboard. I have a scary tight clearace to...

ya know... if you call her Baja Betty - you're gonna have to actually take her to Baja. progress looks good!

@ tommy - that's definitely cool. i'm definitely not doing any of that shit at home. @cbrewer - cool idea, but the tires would make those compartments very small. small enough that i'm not convinced the extra work is worth it.

boy you're really going to hate when I paint them hahaha

perfect read for a monday morning. hahaha

hood hinges, fit in basically the stock location but had to cut them a custom window for the lever thing.

holy crap that's from a powdercoat oven? that's only like ~300 deg aint it?

that's right booboo, you keep delaying that and letting me catch up. You're doing great.

yeah man. size doesn't seem to matter either. i've been waiting a month for an ignition coil wire from Davis Unified Ignition that was supposed to be in stock.
