Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Capped my front frame rails today. Had to cut them a little further back then I really wanted to. The previous owner didn't cut the frame rail very straight to begin with, but it won't hurt anything. First pic is before

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Welded and painted the brackets to the frame and bolted the upper bracket to the radiator support. The welds are solid I will clean them up when I strip the frame to powder coat it.To me it turns out a lot cleaner this way and you don't have any cross braces getting in you way. The brackets are also ovaled out so they have some adjustability.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Took about 5 hours to get all the belts and brackets to line up. I had to be the one to run power steering and a/c on a blown motor. Still don't like the angle of the power steering fill neck.so I need to get a shorter belt. Next is plumbing the radiator hoses, fuel pump and fuel line. Then I will fire it up again and set the timing.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Mounted the upper radiator hose. The space was so limited near the water neck because of the blower I had to use a flexible stainless radiator hose.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Couldn't use the billet radiator clamps on the Lower radiator hose because of the limited belt room. Hope they hold, I have never used radiator hoses like these before.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
To the tank. Had to plug off 2 of the 4 lines going into the tank. Only needed the vent and the pick up tube.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Going to run the battery in the bed. Just need to install the battery shut off on the side of the bed. Need to pass tech because I am planning on doing a little racing at the local drag track
