Bassboy3313 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Got some epoxy primer sprayed down on the rear valance to keep it from rusting and also give a protective base before body filler. Still have a few spots to grind/sand smooth too. Pretty close on the color just for fun. [emoji4] Also, ordered some goodies, but alas, my bad luck with shipping shows through again. Only 2 of the 4 were delivered. What the crap!?! KaiserRolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm sure you already called, but tire rack usually has some pretty good customer service. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 It was on UPS's side of things. Somewhere along the way UPS put them on separate trucks, so the last 2 tires showed up yesterday. Just glad I didn't have to deal with lost package BS. Time to get them mounted and balanced! I also picked up the material from Speedy Metals to do the chassis diff mount work. Not looking forward to removing the undercoating or for welding upside down. But, you gotta do what ya gotta do.

Use a sharp, stiff putty knife. It will make less or a mess and actually work better than a wire wheel. You could use a pneumatic needle gun too=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I was planning on trying my air chisel with a wide flat blade to hopefully shave it off in pieces instead of wire wheel dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Little progress everyday. Decided to use my multitool I had bought to cut a cabinet out to install a dishwasher in my tenants kitchen. Worked like a charm!

B C Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 It would appear that the tire mounting process is: Toss some tires and wheels in Saabaru, set COBB AccessPort to BoxxerRumble Agitate mode, close hatch, wait 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Son of a bitch!!!! I got everything cut out and part of the mount fitted. I go to set the welder up and the wire feed speed controller does nothing. The welder only feeds at one speed no matter what you do to change it. I was aiming to have the mount done today. Anybody have any ideas why it's doing this? Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 He is using JB-Kwik in the two small tubes and its spilling out faster than desired. The cap isnt actually a feed speed controller knob but I can understand the confusion. I prefer the JB putty because I have more control even though it sets up faster m42b32, Jdesign and Jeff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 It's coming out similar to about mid way of the speed settings. I checked the resistance of the speed dial and I get a variable resistance, so it can't be the dial itself. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow to call lincoln support. I've had this welder for years, no warranty left here. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Got a good amount of work done this weekend. Got a new welder a few weeks ago, cut the old structure out under car, welded in new metal to strengthen it back up, made dual diff hanger mojts, welded them in, painted it all up and got the subframe/diff torqued down.
