Ok, back on topic...
I had come up just short on the mandrel bends, so I ordered up another u-bangey but in stainless. I re-made one of my hangers to get it just right and finished the exhaust out. It's exactly what I wanted it to be - stoked about this part of the build. I still have to pull it apart, weld it all out and paint it (except the stainless tips
) and hang it on the wall.
I bought a slip-yoke for the trans, measured and ordered up a 4" DOM x 1310 driveline. Weld yokes had to be ordered but should be done any day now.
Knuckles scored a job at the engine/machine shop we've been using
! So far he's been tearing down motors and tanking them but he's already buried the shop in cores, so they're going to start training him over on the clean side, probably in assembly first. He's diggin' it and SOMEBODY has a 327 to get started on
Did a full rebuild / restore on my chainsaw too cuz we mushed it at the end of last year. It's bad azz and I'll get a vid here soon on the Crummy page.
