jeepspeed progress pics(56K beware)

lets see some pics of the dies you are using for your brake. My dad made us a small brake from some old dies they had at work but we are limited to .125 right now.
 
I made the lower die from some round bar stock and some angle iron, the upper punch is actually made from a broken arm off of my Protools 105HD(long story:)) that I rounded off the edge on, it works really well actually.

here is a little sloppy sketch of the lower die profile(I suck at ms paint, yes the circles should be the same size and those misshapen triangles are supposed to be the angle iron:))

not real sure, but most of the folks out there are very helpful(both spectators and team members alike), it is a really great environment, some good people out there.

i was just tellin my girl earlier... its a lifestyle. most jeep people are just awesome.
 
Been REALLY busy with the fam, work, life, blah blah blah. But have been slowly progressing along one day a week. Got the paint started, the hood mounted, the d/s 5-pt harness mounted, picked up 8 BFG Baja T/As so we should be set on tires. Things to do are scratch up $dough$ for intercomm/radio(GPS can wait) and mount/wire them, mount p/s harness, finish up manual control of AW4(harnesses all hacked up so no TCU for us), wire lights, pumpers, trans cooler fans, headlights/taillights, scratch up $dough$ for a trailer(we have one to borrow for now), helmets/firesuits...damn, better go get that lotto ticket, everything adds up REALLY fast(hopefully wifey won't be reading this else she'll be on the warpath:)). Should be out testing as soon as the end of March if I can find a few spare moments other than my one Saturday a week, and that lotto ticket pays off:). snapped a few pics of how it sits now, not much room for pics as I pushed it right back in to the bay for more work, got a buddy helping out today.

Cheers, lunch is over..back at it.

Looking good. Hope in runs out good for you. I've been following your build you a long time. Nice Work.

After the shakedown run how about a photoshoot???

Mad skillls in action. :cheers:
 
What no 97+ header panel? Ha ha looks good skully cant wait to see some race pics.
 
Thanks guys, I kind of like the chrome look, so far we have a 1985 chassis, 1991 motor/trans/xfer case, 1989 front clip, 2000 bumpers...well you get the idea. I do like the look of the late model flares/clip though so who knows what will happen down the road. Working on the radio/intercomm now, scratched up a little coin so going trailer shopping, helmets etc. Getting there, of course this terrible cold I have is not helping out too much.
