Re: Blueballz build thread

Got some more goodies in today. Getting the tabs welded in. Kind of working backwards from what I've seen most people do since I didn't have the dif housing. So I raised the lower bars to ride height and used some extra sheet metal to weld them to the frame parallel to each other and at ride height. Then I put the tabs on and leveled them out and tightened the bolt and welded a piece of metal from each tab and to the bar that way they we locked in position and I could set the axle onto them and position it for pinion angle before tacking. Then moved in the upper bars making sure they were parallel and then tacking. When it came to welding them in I welded one side of one tab on one axle tube then moved to other side and so on and so forth while using wet rags to keep tubes from getting to heated.
