Couple long weekends and a welder

Pulled out the stock torque-tube suspension and installed a Ford rearend, ladders, coilovers and panhard. Also connected the subframe. My under car (overhead) welding is butt-ugly but I had the welds inspected by a pro and he deemed them sound. Here's the pics of the work I did:

what did you set your pinion angle at? i just finshed mine and set it 1/2 deg down

1-1/2 degrees. I have always gone between 1 and 2 degrees on the street. If I was racing it could probably go anywhere from 1 and 3 degrees (in a ladder bar car). There's a TON of different opinion on this, so I can only speak for me.

o ok i was just curious thats all

Thats a great looking car! :t: Some day when I finish my CJ I plan on getting a AMC car also...... Just made my self laugh ::lol: I said when I get done. As you all know your never done! Enough about me, thats a one bad car keep it up! :lo1l: :razz:

Thanks. Just Put 275/60R15's on the back a couple of days ago. With the skirting or those fenders, that's as big as I can go without mini-tubbing.

Do I see a another possible project in your future?.... :mrgreen:

Sad truth is: I am never "done" with a project. This car, if I'm not careful, could get outa control real quick. One of my previous project went from freshening an engine up on a nice street car, to a full cage back-halfed drag car.

Not gonna go down that road again. However, a have my solid cam setup sitting on a shelf waiting for a wild hair to grab hold of me. Mini-tubbing is NOT out of the question, but this car is so clean and solid, I hate cutting anything. I'm installing a scoop in the next few weeks, but I bought another hood to cut, so I wouldn't have to cut my pristine original.

I hear what your saying, its amazing how fast a project can get out of control! My current engine project on my jeep started as a cam change on a 304, I found it had bad barrings in it. So now I'm building a 401 that started as a mild build, now I am supercharging it! :!: Reguardless at least I'm spending my time and money doing somthing I like. I know that I could have way worse habbets!
