D33:Engine Mount Mods D1



With the rear end being moved up a few inches, I needed to raise the engine up as well. This should keep the engine and the rear end in better alignment. The holes are there to weld the middle of the add on plates to the original mount. This way it's not only welded around the edges but in the middle as well. Again... hopefully a little over design.

D32:Spindle Adapter #2



I was finally home for a weekend this month and got some time in the garage. I was able to fabricate some side supports for the ball joint mounting plate to the vertical bar. I'm sure this is now WAY over designed but figure that's the safer side to be on. I was also able to fab the second adapter as well. With these done, it's time to get some a-arms built and I'll be getting oh so close to having a rolling chassis.

Grand Gultch, UT



So, you've probably realized that I haven't posted in quite a while. Other than work being crazy busy, I've been out of town on the weekends for a couple of trips. Vegas with my wife and backpacking with some friends. I figured since there hasn't been any changes with the car, I'd post some pics of the Utah desert. These are all from Grand Gulch just south of Moab, UT. The area is filled with ancient Anasazi ruins and paintings.
