Lookin Good Mini! So whats the list of things to do look like now?

MiniSimp · « **Reply #452 on:** Jan 31, 2006, 02:48:53 PM »

Here is what is left until I take it on the test drive:
Bleed brakes
Build Transfer Case Crossmember & remove stock crossmember
Fill transmission, transfercase, & engine with oil

Here is what is left until I take it on the test trail:
Build shock mounts & install shocks

And this is just BS stuff:
Weld tow bar mounting brackets
Buy and mount spare tire

The only day I get to work on it this weekend is Saturday:

Saturday 4
Few Showers
High 55°F
Low 29°F
Precip: 30%
Details - Few showers. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the upper 20s.

I'm hoping for very few showers, it sucks to weld in the rain (at least for Dave it does

)

You see welds that perfect should only be done when it is dry

Hey white man looking good

*** YELLER *** · « **Reply #478 on:** Feb 04, 2006, 03:55:14 PM »

just a taste of what has been done

whiteman · « **Reply #479 on:** Feb 04, 2006, 07:02:43 PM »

Awsome

I remember some one made a comment on your frame mounts ripping off, I think you will be fine and I may hav the problem.
Since I am welding the 1/2" platform to the frame I have some .188 flat bar that I may use between my frame and cossmember platforms, to try and give added strength to the frame. I have been worried abut it ripping out under stress.
