Thought this was cool called ape car drifting! Might b adding this to my to build list

Was hoping on using 5/8" heim joints and king pin for the front on this thing, but looked hard and they don't make bearings 1 1/8" OD X 5/8" ID, which mean id have to redo my whole spindle barrel setup! So im gonna test for this year with a 1/2" heim joint king pin set up! So i got redesigning my spindle plates to allow +/- 1/2" height adjustment with my 2" barrel.

Oh and my JD Die for the bender came in today frame is gonna be done this week

Should of bought the magnum bender. Cheaper and comes with 3 dies and the jd dies fit in the bender. I got mine for $630 with 1",1.5" and 1.75 dies. Nice bender!

When bending use lots of lube on the dies! The stuff that works really good and don't make a mess is dish soap! Real slippery and cleans up easy and nice!

Words of wisdom! Haha thanks man!

First bend! 90 degree for my 1 1/4" man i love this thing! Using this 90 to gauge how long i need to make what ever bend! Blue marks are inches and black is degrees!

Main frame bent, layed out with bearing carriage/axle in place! Starting to look good!

That is quite the fabrication Justin. Looks impressive. Keep the progress reports up for us arm chair pilots.

Pretty decent day I'd say! Main subframe tack welded together managed to get the front end bent up and placed! Measuring out some mounting points for some poly urathane bushings for a tubed engine craddle!

Yesterdays lesson... Know when to call er quits! When yer tired thinking may not all be there and chance of injuries increase! Ended up putting the flapper disc roght thru my finger! Not usually one to go to the hospital but I wasnt succesful at stopping the bleeding. Ended up at Cold Lake emerg for 4hrs til 4am having to leave for work at 5am to put in a 14hr day ! Ha

Stay safe!!!

Pretty good day hummin along! Finished up tackin in my lower frame rails! Tires n bushings came in! They ****ed up and gave me crossblock fronts and not angle block! But oh well ill rock it this year!

Hope the finger heals quick. Seldom do when the wound crosses a knuckle though. Hope it's not on your dominant hand. Project is looking good though
