Okay...so I got the bracket welded up for the motor and figured out the geometry for the lift arm....(I think!) Right now it will open to almost 80 degrees, which should be fine....
Got the front end all ground down and primed, so now I can finish up the wiring for the motor, button up last minute details and then put the front panel back in place
The next big elephant to tackle was the rear parcel shelf area...and I began tacking together the shelf pieces that took eons to cut and shape...but they are all but finished except for last minute trimming...
You can really see it taking shape here...passenger side....I have begun grinding down some welds to see if I like the curvature, ect....(too late now anyway!) and it looks nice to me....
Painted the motor frame and lift arm.....aligned the arm by shimming the two front bolts by almost 5/8"......
In other big news..I dropped the wheels off to get new tires on two of them, and the best old tire will be used as a spare.....
more later this week!
thanks for looking
