A100 slamming in progress

DROP THAT A!!


Had to rig up some quick and dirty controls.....  


GETT'N'LO!



Can't slide a 2x4 under there....



Layed out really nice in the back.



Hit the air switch to go up and it sits just about at stock ride height on 40 year old springs.   I still have plenty more lift in the bags to go up, but I'm out of shock. Its cool though, i'm totally stoked.

I broke my camera, but I'll get some videos of it in action soon.


Now I just have to get the front to go whoop-whoop too....

Just Can't wait to see some More of this !!!!! Thanks' For the Pic's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dawg, I need to see more of these build pictures

"Drop it like it's hot" Nice work.   

looking great.

Hey Bill, good to see the progress.

Quick update:

Matchstick came up to hang out for the weekend and we stuffed an IFS in the  A100.






After dialing in  X, Y, and Z,  we tacked it on.












Now I just have to finish grafting the frame.  

 

Really nice work! Looking forward to more updates.

looking good man.

Oh, awesome. I'm following one of you on IG and love seeing the updates. It's motivating me to lower mine after I tackle the first set of projects. Keep up the great work.

Curious to sees the steering hook up on this one. Progress looking good!

Dropped the clip down 2".     Under load, the spindle went a little higher than anticipated.   BUT - that will help a LOT with the steering linkage ;-)

Playing with Wheelz.















That's about as far in as I can stuff it. Anything more would be impractical  

want. that. IFS.

Badass. Nice work. Keep the pics coming.

looks great. very nice work, make sure you leave some room for some seat padding, how far from norwalk ohio are you ???

Yeah, the seats should be something ;-)
I'm about an hour from Norwalk.

we have a bunch of a's there for the monster mopar event.

NO kidding? I'll look that one up.

guess a guy from Sweden not welcome to brunch,,,,,, due to the loooong trip :-)

Much more to do, but I can support it own weight again.

It's Been a while.....


Finished welding up in the front, blasted it, primed it.








I rotated the rack.... as if it was executing an in place summersault, in the direction of the nose.

Before:




Spent a lot of time to ensure the rack would remain in the same X/Y/Z location,   simply rotated a bit.




Had to figure out how to make a functional bracket.





(Ignore the coat hanger,  I wanted to make sure  nothing would hit the ground, )  This shit just might work.  
Sitting in the driver position, when rotating the 'steering column' shaft clock wise the wheels turn right.  Counter clockwise, they go left.





Now I have to finish welding up the brackets and obtain the correct bolts.   Fab up a bracket to hold the steering box and go from there.



Fuel. I bought and test fit several and then returned all but one. Stopped just short of having a custom one made for my application....wish I had a tig welder...  (still an option, I'm still on the fence).  
The nearly perfect fit one is only 17 gallons. http://www.summitracing.com/oh/parts/rci-2172a/overview/ I would prefer a larger capacity tank, but there are many factors.  

Regardless, it was a great opportunity to do a rough mock up of the air management stuff.




turns out a 5 gallon Cornelius keg is about the same size as a 5 gallon AccuAir tank, lol.  ;-)  





hopefully,  more to come soon.  

looking great man! If ya need any help, let me know.

Dave, any time you are in da hood, feel free to stop by and bang on the garage door.  ;-)


Started mocking up the air gear.

Right on man.

Nice work!

I like the matching bends on the air lines. Great attention to detail
