69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

[NorCam]

So I woke up this morning to ask myself, what can be accomplished today? Made a call to Al knoch to arrange a few things and spent a half hour discussing seat upholstery and door panels. I then picked up the subframe and rear end housing after both were media blasted. I drove to town and delivered them to my welders shop. He then stitch welded the frame and properly welded the axle tubes to the rear end housing for me. I then brought them back home later in the day and cleaned up all of the slag and the welds using a few Rolox disks. Next I picked up a new TruTrac Posi carrier and another shipment that just came up from HBC. From there I dropped off my bumper for Chroming along with the stainless trim which will now be polished to perfection. After that I packed up some parts and dropped the housing and subframe back to the powder coaters so he can coat them in the coming days. I have a late pickup scheduled to go and get my Muncie M23 trans that is coming up from the states today, and after I get home from that, I'm gonna sit down and drink a few beers. The rest of the weekend is going to be wound down as some relax time. (lol) yeah right



Housing is now stripped, buffed and ready for powder coating.


The tubes were previously welded, so we cleaned them up and a friend added some professional welds to the tubes.


He also stitch welded both sides of the sub frame to strenghen and stiffen the frame.


All of the stress points were beefed up to ensure a it handles some future abuse.


After everything was sanded down and polished up, it all went back to the powder coaters.
