Well we made some awesome progress today!! Mark and his buddy got started on Friday removing the front clip, and today we continued from there.
You can see he had already put the 2wd cross member in place temporarily
Here we are after getting the nose in the air and separated from the frame.
Next was to lift the back and roll out the chassis!
And the end result was looking good.
From here we moved it into the bay and began thrashing on the frame. Lots of brackets and bolts to remove. Here is a pile of brackets that will no longer be needed.
It didn't take but a few hours to get the frame down to the bare necessities.
I also had a chance to drill the A-Arms and front Cross member for the air bag plates.
I first clamped the plate where I wanted it, and using a transfer punch I made my marks.
Then I drilled a small pilot hole and followed by 2 more rounds with bigger bits each time.
Then it was on to the A-Arms.
What is cool about the A-Arms, is the two holes for the front sway bar allow you to put in two bolts and align it perfectly!
It was getting a bit late in the afternoon, so we cleaned up and I headed our for today. Stay Tuned!..
