Carwash Crawler - Build Thread... again. - Page 5

Billet adjustable aluminum throttle pedal from Speedway Motors... should fit the bill nicely...

Lance stainless ball valves from Afco. Posting these for other's reference. Spidertrax quit carrying this valve, and Afco directly was the only place i could find it. Summit listed it, but was backordered til end of march. Afco part number 40199.

I decided on the plastic brake line kits from Speedway as well... Bought two kits. One might do it tho. Can't imagine plumbing my entire brake system for $26. Even at 2 kits, $50 brakes is a super deal. Comes with all kinds of extra fittings, unions, etc. Should be an easy install.

And the rest of my steering parts, waiting patiently.

More work this weekend: bump cans installed, interior panels started, pedals installed... depends on how much time i get over there.

whatever man, it's light as a creampuff.

the only thing really heavy are the axles and wheels/tires... the rest is standard.

Lets start a contest... guess the finished weight of my rig. Closest guess gets a prize, and i will make it a good one.

Just to recap for those that want in on the contest...

Full tube chassis - mix of 1.75 x .125 and .109 wall
Aluminum panels outside and inside
Stock YJ hood and grill
Stock CJ cowl
SBC 355
TH400
STAK 3 speed
Rockwells - no rear steer
Recentered H1 wheels
44" Boggers
PRP seats

That should be enough to make an educated guess. I will leave my guess for last cuz i don't want to sway anyone elses.

By the way Brad, what you doing tomorrow and Saturday?

Mike
