Robert,
I don't have a problem with you showing up on Saturday, but I think it's DVs call. Not sure if he's ready to put the body on or not.

Let's see if DV chimes in....

Thanks for the offer!

Buddy, you know I'll chime in! Huckelbery, man you don't need permission at any time! Love to have you help set the body in place!

PARTY...PARTY...

That's what I'm talking about!!! Lets put the body on!!!

Double Venom · #**885** (**permalink**) 05-29-2009, 05:13 AM

Anybody else want to get together? I love a party

We've got enough to install the body, need more Cobraphiles just for the fun of it!

OK then see both of you around 10 Sat.

Thanks
Robert

Huckelberry,
Was I supposed to make you a template for the wiper transmissions? I Hope so, I can't remember who or where!

Thanks

The closer we get. Oh so close!!!

Back from another trip to DVs place. We got the body on for the last time. Many thanks to Robert (aka Huckleberry) for making the drive from Plainfield to help getting the body dropped on.

Here's the body still on the buck out in the fresh air and sunshine

Here's one of her rear end

The body and frame are one (sort of) Robert and DV trying to find out where we're hung up on the firewall

Man that is sweet looking

DV we need some window cleaner

And one of me trying not to wet myself from excitement

DV!!!

I woke up in a cold sweat, hearing cracking noises

You didn't go crazy with that 10T ram of yours, did you?

Just kidding

Double Venom · #**893** (**permalink**) 05-31-2009, 11:09 AM

Building an adapter so (maybe) the 10 ton will work.............stay tuned and cool!

Standing by....

Cpteddie!
Say, "Thank you Diane!" I was pulling my hair out trying to get that firewall in place without haveing to buy another porta power to replace mine, she said 'can't you use the holding rod we used to hold the cargo in place in the trailer!' It ratchets, has plenty of lenght and is half as wide as a porta power! PRESTO-five minutes wth this thing and the body dopped with a THUD! Not a crack!

.

Ed it fit so well all the bolts I drilled and tapped to mount the body six months ago (?) all lined up perfectly! Even the back deck after I moved the rear wall back.

I'll post more pictures later, but even the header cut outs line up!!

The real boss, she should have been an engineer!

DV

capteddie · #**896** (**permalink**) 06-01-2009, 02:35 PM

Well I'm glad you finally got the brains of the operation involved

Thanks Diane!!!!

Can't wait to see some pictures of how its sitting now!

Double Venom · #**897** (**permalink**) 06-02-2009, 09:54 AM

Ok,
This is how we put Diane's solution to work-what is shown is the rear or the
'pole' against the rear inner firewall-the front is up against the top of the firewall,

Firewall pushed forward so body dropped down-rear firewall now fitting exactly where it is supposed to be!

Rear of the body in place,

Front of the body in place,

How about that....after the long freeze the body is totally down and bolted in place!

Lot of 'stuff' to go but it is all down hill from here!

Does your hood close or rub underneath? I have the same oval air cleaner and had to modify it. Turned out excellent !!

Oh boy!!! Yes we (DV) had to do some modification.

But the hood does close and there is no rubbing.
