My CJ6 Project
-
A busy weekend wrenching in the driveway for Colin, Wolfe & myself - with a helping hand from ACJ & AussieCJ7 (thanks guys).
Sight milestone - Breifly got the engine beween the frame rails
Unfortunately had to pull it out again shortly afterwards to continue making the shackle mounts - but felt good to see the engine & diff clearance were ok. More updates later I guess ;D

About time we got to at least see these under a frame, should be good when there's some more :) Any expected deadline?
Cheers

Nearly finished the shackle/leaf hangers. Should have them welded into place and the leafs in-place by the end of the weekend......IF all goes to plan (rarely happens).
REALLY want to have it finished LONG before the Jamboree - but much work to be done. At this stage target is end of June.
-
NEARLY fonoshed the hangers over the weekend - just a few more braces to get burnt into place :)
Then I'll snap a fresh pic.
BTW foranyone interested in the full writeup I am doing - I have it Here on our website.

Looking good :) Looks like you're getting a lot of welding practice too.
Cheers

The frame is now nearly twice the original weight - don't want to know how much of that is welding wire ;)
My welding isn't the worlds prettiest - but it should hold together :)
-
Just a few more welds and I can start painting the chassis.
