weeks and rain stopped.

 

Spent 2 days making D44 axle naked and ready for paint.

I like to dehorn sharp edges and smooth welds & weld splatter.

 

HP D30 dropped off for sandblast to get ready for Atrec control arm mounts & Metalcloak bushings.  Tower and axle conversion.

Axles multiplying in shop and Detroit true tracks and gear swap stuff everywhere so time get busy setting up gears.

 

I’ve only got 115V welder so buddy pro welder stacked dimes.

 

For C braces, he heated up cast to 350 degrees then stitch welded, making sure lazer temp gun never went over 450.

 

Also cut tower off and installed Metalcloak bracket and bushing race.

 

I’ve got lots of smoothing welds before back to sandblast and then POR15 with matte black top coat.

 

Also installed axle tie down tabs on D44.

Due to brake lines on top of axle a strap around tube have chance squishing hard brake line.  

 

Left room for sway bar brackets if I need after lifting.

Been working away on youngest daughter 06 LJ.

 

Did manage to find wheel restoration shop that would work with Eliminator wheel fake rivets.
 

They machine finished , polished and applied clear powder.
