Here are some pics of the RB25 Det.

Well alittle more done hope toi have pics up soon

Killer looking motor Lance - will be interesting to she how it fits in its new home

Guess I ddi not realize how much you had done since the last time I looked at your build thread.

Ya some work done but wish I was farhter along but other things to do aswell.

So boxed in the lower control cross bar think this will help out with the strength and also just looks cleaner anyways heres some pics.







Ya I have 3 holes still till fill in the one side but I will get to it tomorrow I still have to find some where to taper the upper part of the spindle to fit the s-10 ball joint its a pain in the ass. Still have to sand blast the whole frame and sand everything before I get it powder coated but thats still along way down the road.

Wow, very nice work Lance! Like how that finished out and I am sure it will be more than strong enough now. Keep thinking back to how much "fun" i had doing frame work on either of the trucks and how "nice" it would have been to have what you have holding up your frame. Oh well, maybe next time.

Thanks Linn. Now I have to make a frame table going to z the frame up one inch and then start building the rear frame.I think that I am going to do it in 2 sections so I can tuck the rear part that goes over the axle in about 4 inches a side and then run the lower links on the out side with the bag. I do like the frame up like this though so easy to weld everything up.

So today I tappered the spindles so I can try and get the front arms and spindles on here are some pics of before and after of the spindles with the s-10 balljoints in place.
This is before the tappering


and this is after


[color=#0000BF] I am using 4 washers right now to hold it in place but I am making a a 1 1/8 spacer that will fit right in there with the proper taper.

Looking good man! I like how you made a frame rotisserie using engine stands, do you have any close up pictures of how you mounted it to the engine stands?

Actually the front is welded to the frame well spot welded and the rear I took 2 1x1 square tubing spot welded it to the frame and then bolted it to the engine stand.
