Like I said I just can't wait so I went back out in the garage and put the fenders and grill on to see what it looks like. 8)

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #372 on:** Mar 14, 2005, 08:27:44 PM »

You, me and everybody else would like to see this done. I must say though that I don't think I have ever done a project of this scale in the short amount of time before and it still isn't fast enough.

I started rebuilding the transfercase tonight and it is all but done. All that is needed is to clean a couple covers and push in new seals. The 4.7's and twin stick are allready in.

It's a single stage polyurathane made by PPG. It's A DCC urathane or in this case a straight DMC 905 mixing base. There isn't anything brighter in a yellow. 8)

Transfercase is done and it's on to the transmision. I had some trouble figuring out how the shifter rails went back in, but my buddy MiniSimp came to the rescue and all is well. If you remmember I shortened the tailshaft housing and now I need to finish up the linkage so it all works properly. I need to weld a plug into the tailshaft housing and bore it out for the shifter shaft. This is where I am so far.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #378 on:** Mar 15, 2005, 07:02:54 PM »

I think this will be one of the most custom vehicles I've seen!
Good job!

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #381 on:** Mar 16, 2005, 06:42:24 PM »

Not much to report except for the welding on the tailshaft housing.

Thank you CTENG!

But save for the windshield frame and some reassembly, the work I can do on it is about coming to an end.
Mr Willy's going to have to work on all the mechanical stuff.

Wish I could help more with that.

but I am sure he will find some way to put me to good use!
