Lazarus - Back from the Dead

[carwash]

Ok, all frame repair done. Beadblasted, and back to the shop for spring mounting and reassembly, etc.

Plated the corners with some triangles. The P.O. had plated the frame in the rear on the bottom and sides, but it was done with some sort of really wavy metal, so i wanted a nice strong flat surface to mount the shackle hangers to.





Put on the outriggers for the front, fitted and polished them into the 3x3 front block to make it one nice piece. Looks nice i think.





Did some plating on the top of the frame in the rear as well where the spring mounts will sit for the same reason. There was some really unlevel wavy metal here as well. Flat surfaces are much nicer for mounting crap to.



Another shot of the tcase mounting area of the frame. This area was one of my biggest concerns due to the force that is put here.



Here's some shots of it all bead blasted and etch primed.









Obligatory action shot....



Wheels painted and mated up with the tires. No shots of tires on, got too damn late. I like the paint color. Drab olive and black. This will be the color scheme of the rig all over as well.
