How about a "Build Day"?

GPster · May 14, 2009, 08:48:26 AM

I started a new post mainly because with five pages of comments on the other Forum no one would notice this there. Checking my schedual I could be there to work on May 30. I have to be in Columbus June 1 to catch an early flight out on the 2nd for Denver. After 10 days there I'll probably spend the rest of June catching up at home. I'm ready to get back to building before I forget what we're working on. If this appears on general topics please move it to the top of the page. GPster

Was today a build day? I seem to remember someone saying May16 but can't find it now. I didn't get home from work this morning til 9am. After 18 hours I just went to bed.

Anyway, I have a brake pedal we may be able to use. I'll get a few pictures and dimensions. It's new, fairly short, and has a pin pivot so it should be adaptable to most anything. Just ignore the "Air Brake" on the pedal pad.

30th is good for me or most any other day is ok too.

I've been gone for a month and haven't had internet access so I haven't been following this.

30th doesn't work for me. I am committed to go to the Midland Mi. Swap

well, if we can get George and Joe, and possibly Tom, that would be enough to get something done. I say go for it.

Well, the weather should be great for building saturday, sunny and 75. See you then.

purplepickup · May 26, 2009, 10:49:12 AM

Well we had a good day. We had GPster, Purple Pickup, Fatcat and I. We finished welding the chop on the right door, welded in the patch panel, and finish welded the door frame. Then we finished welding the chop on the left door, fabricated and installed a patch panel on it, then started the door frame for that side. The right patch came out great, I warped the left one a bit, but it will straighten.

Tomorrow I will finish up the left door frame, so we can begin the body mockup.

We then took the time to lay out the rear suspension full size, Fatcat is drawing that in autocad and we'll post it. The coilovers Leon sent are going to work great.

GPster picked up a nice set of Wilwood brake and clutch pedals, with 3 Howe master cylinders, so that is taken care of.

I am including a picture of the seat we picked up last weekend, it's a double wrap Kirkey, light, and should work fine for us
