I have had a very productive last few evenings.
Tuesday evening I got the new pedal support modd'd and up under the dash, new vac booster in place to do away with the hydroboost, pedals hung, and exhaust back in place, and finally fabbed the cross member for the trans/tcase....in 4 hours.
Last night I finished welding the cross member, trans bolted up on new bushings and back supporting its own weight. Dropped the old divorced transfer case, built the firewall plate for the clutch master, cut and adjusted the pedals for full travel (I fish plated the sides) and cut and rewelded the foot pads....bent the shifter so I don't smash my knuckles on the steering wheel too.
Most importantly, I tightened up the loose bolts on the steering box, added a drop of loc-tite AND lock washers.
Shortened short list...
new bracket for the clutch slave cyl, fill and bleed clutch
New floor plate and scrounge up a shifter boot for trans/tcase
Mount front clip with elec fan, wire fan.
Bleed brakes
Sheet metal back on
Drive shafts
DRIVE IT!!!
