slammed graffiti '69 IN PROGRESS

[Louis]

Finally got the bus almost where I want it. Front is a 4" narrowed adjustable KP/LP beam with drop spindles, rear horse shoe plates plus some spline work. I need to c-notch front and rear to make room for tie rods and axles so I can bring it down lower. This with the front at its highest setting, it'll come down more soon after after I notch it tires are 165 55 14 front and 185 60 14 rear.

That look low 8)

How does it ride :?:

 

[Louis]

Thanks to all!!!
In regards to the ride, its actually pretty good. No shocks in the front can make it a tad bouncy over small bumps at low speeds but other than that its smooth. It rides 600 times better than the ball joint beam with pulled torsions did.

 

[amrn4s]

looks real good. I really like the stance of the vehicle.

 

[dubscum]

cool!

Can't get away with that in the UK though (especially with the roads being so cr@p :evil: ) but I think the yearly MOT man might not be too happy either

Thats why I love Florida, no emissions testing or inspections

Got the rear c-notched now so Im gonna bring it down a few inner splines soon. Heres some pics!

the outside of the frame

I had a piece of 3/16 thick wall tubing cut in half in the shape of a "C" then welded in, no pics yet, we finished kind of late lol. I'll post up the finished product when I get some pics taken.

PS: For any one in the tampa bay FL area who is looking for someone to do some fab work, my friend is starting his own welding/fab business. He is the one doing all the welding on my bus. Plus he is mobile! If you inquire his services shoot me a PM

[gninnam]

Nice work so far dude 8)

 

[Barkafer]

Cool Bus! I need some notchin. Good to see how its done

 

[Louis]

Thanks! The notching isnt too hard, just make sure you set aside enough time so you dont run out of day light

 

[Louis]

got some pics from the VW 4 Life/Wild Weekend show in St. Pete this weekend, it was fun

 

[Louis]

Bus is coming along slowly.......... After some drivability issues, I can now get back to the important things, like more low. Front will be notched hopefully weds. as long as nothing else breaks...... stay tuned.
