I just want everyone to appreciate the balance Ryan achieved in his build. Look at it barelyyyy lifting the pass rear tire over the bumps.

[badlinesgoodtimes]

Got everything disassembled and inspected for cracks: 6.5 hours
Snacks: crumb donettes leftover from yesterday
Drinks: 3X Milwaukee’s best near beers, 2X Bubly grapefruit
Music: Bad Religion mix
Number of bolts I had to cut off: 2
Number of nuts I had to weld to ground-off bolt heads to facilitate removal: 1

Crackage on aft side of frame horn where it meets the frame rail.



Enhance


Machined an aluminum puck and 3/4” bar for the frame horn so I could see how fuckity the aft lower arm tabs are. The pivot is pushed inboard by 3/8” and a smidge upward



Stock frame horns appear to still be parallel, so that’s nice.


Aft lower arm tabs are tearing off the frame. Sweet.



Looking up from the floor. Radiator fan shroud is in the background. Idler arm tab almost departed.


Cut the buckled Pivot bushing assembly off the lower arm.


Rear tab lack of concentricity apparent here:



Machined new rear bushing housing from 2.0x.250” wall DOM (no 4130 on hand—sorry guys.
New inner pivot sleeve machined from 1.125x .190” wall 4130–oh yeah! (Bottom left of pic)



Welded a 5/8-11 nut to where the head of this bolt used to be. Removal was super easy afterward

You don’t have a cross tube between those rear arm mounts?

 

[Bpbuilt]

Man that didn’t take you long to get into it!

 

[badlinesgoodtimes]

fucking eh bud. Getting into to it with a quickness. Well done. Need some of your motivation to rub off on me so I can get the rest of this motor put back together on my shitbox!

I do.
