Carly's 96

Thank you Andy! It’s not as crazy as most of your guys setups but it’ll be fun to do some trips and trails for sure. I like the way it turned out.

A snails pace would be a step in the right direction but it is what it is. I’m almost done with the radius arms. One more plate then paint. 4130 upper and lower tube. Upper sleeved with 1.75 .120 wall. 1/4” cap and 1/4” overlay plates. No awards for the prettiest stuff but it hold up. At least they’ll be good for 1 less mpg. I’d also like to add that magnetic brooms kick ass.

Not too shabby. I believe it’ll hold up.

Thank you. Not show quality but should hold up to a bump stop pad. Hoping to have more done before I get busy again. I’ve got all the spring hardware so once I get the hoops permanently mounted shocks can go on.

It’s been that way for a bit due to the kids but it’s been worth it. It’s just time to get this thing moving again. Carly wants it back and I’m supposed to pick up my uncles 66 f100 he was putting together before he passed away from cancer.

Got the inner fender cut out including the coilover spot. Radius arms are done brackets are painted and only 1 bolt left on drivers side to finish. I got the river out of the engine cross member and I’m sore. Bumpstop bracket is made for the frame, all I have now is to find the bump spot and cut plate. I’m going to open up the passenger side axle portal and reinforce it so I’ll move 1 step back. My daughter helped me get nuts on the bolts and did it without seeing them. She has now been nominated to get her hands in the frame for the two front bolts.

The last of the pictures from yesterday. All in all a productive weekend. Hopefully I'll get some more time soon. For now, its time to get the girls ready for racing.

Lookin good! Wish my daughter didn't mind getting her hands dirty. A pair of tiny hands is very useful at times lol

It makes it easier at times for sure. Plus when a 7 year old walks out in old clothes and ready to help, you can't say know. Thank you Steve. I figure it'll be functional and hold up well. I don't get fancy, at least not yet, but that is okay.

[ChaseTruck754]

No need to get fancy. It'll work and you'll have fun!

And yeah, no way I'd turn down my kids if either wanted to help. My daughter is way too "girly" to want anything to do with building or fixing anything. My son says he's interested but then still has the attention span of a gnat so he doesn't stay long after he's offered to "help". One day though. I'll get one of these 2 fabricating, building and/or welding yet!

Hey hey my daughter Cassidy is a girly girl but stick her in her race car and you wouldn’t know it. She will change her tires too. She just does it all wanting to wear a skirt . Brianna is my Tom boy so she’s a bit more willing to get dirty.

I remembered you had one of each, but couldn't remember which was which. I love it with the changing the tire in a skirt.

[hobbyturnedobsession]

Tough to see but there’s a pink skirt in there.

Bri usually has a hat on.

I got a wild hair and wanted to see the bump in its home. It should work pretty well I think.

It’s amazing what paint will do to make your part look better

I may reshape the backside of the plate but other than that I think I’ve got the bump can mount solved.
