Powder coating is
removed the control arms by hitting them with a torch
and later sandblasting.
21 May 2010 Dead Pedal
Dead pedal to match the
Wildwood pedals. The pedal itself is 1/4 steel shaped to
match and the bracket is two pieces of 16 gage sheet
metal. The string is holding the Wildwood pedals in
there approximate place while the dead pedal is welded
in place. All that is left to do now is the final
sanding and finishing.
A few pieces of square
tubing are welded in to stiffen the front a little.
Probably not needed, but it looks cool.
31 May 2010 Drive Shaft
Safety Loop
A Summit Racing loop is
installed, pretty much the same as as the
Roadster, hey if it
works....
The loop is offset to the
passenger side about an inch, but I slotted the mounts
to allow for some side to side adjustment.
It now needs to be sanded or
blasted to remove the powder coating for paint in the
future.

Covers and Another Brace
I
added 18 gauge covers over the open ends of the various
tubes. Nothing fancy just something to keep the crud out
and seal the tubes.
I also added a diagonal
brace to the upper frame frame. I had a difficult
time getting the torch in there, have to grind it off
and re-weld it after the axle is removed before painting
the frame.
