I haven't done much to it that would show up in pictures. I've bought alot of parts that I need for the motor and rear end. I got some of the intercooler piping done. Started working on rerouting alot of the front factory wiring under the hood. Tore the old rear end out, got the Toyota rear end torn apart to put disc brakes on. Got new custom designed laser cut 4 link and lift bar tabs for the new axle. I'm waiting on Doug to get that Nissan done so I can pull my axle into his garage to get it to the TIG welder so he can put my link tabs on all purty like. ;D I took the Denalis off, was gonna sell em, but now I can put them on the Nissan. I have a set of Infiniti QX56 wheels for it now. They look mean up front with the 15 degrees of camber. ;D

There's not much to show right now anyway, just welding tabs on the axle, and the welder ran out of gas halfway through so it's not even done. We need to get a few things done before progress pics will actually show much progress. It doesn't look much different right now, I just have a bunch of parts laying around to go on.  |

Some progress on the Mazda I guess you could say, something that will show up in pics anyway lol. The LT1 found a new home.   lots of hood clearance...  We got the firewall cutout to clearance a bit for the motor and headers.    We got the firewall cut, and the motor/tranny set where we wanted it than fabbed up some motor mounts with 3/16" plate, 1.5" 1/4 wall DOM, and some 4 link ends/bushings.    Doug TIG welding.  ;D  Mounts in and handmade frame tabs on     Now Doug needs to patch up the firewall, than we can pull the motor out. Then we can clean it up a bit and paint it, put the new valve covers and headers on, and hook the tranny up. Also clean and paint the firewall/engine bay, than put it back in and hook the harness up, and put my Mazda wiring back together that I pulled out. And that's just to get the engine going...couple other things I need to do to get the truck rolling again, lol. |
