[QUOTE=stacebg;455719]you are moving right along, more than i can say for my projects...no idea if its been mentioned or not...but it looks like your pinion may be up a tad... should be within a couple degrees of the trans..if not it will vibrate...i think you can buy wedges to help or cut n re-weld the saddles....
this a great explanation [video=youtube;Idk3BVDVHq4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idk3BVDVHq4[/video][/QUOTE]
Not for a Double Cardan/CV shaft.
The Pinion angle is different when setting them up

I appreciate that. The more advice the better.
I try to take it all in and then make as informed of a decision as I can

good info on drive shafts.....sounds like that crossmember will be put to good use! i like that idea of a dash for the passenger, could be a backrest for the driver and used for a hand hold for the passenger to get into the their seat. speakers mountings ,electronics etc. also a partial windbreak for the passenger. i am enjoying the build !!

just about right.....
put a riser in the stem, turn the bars around, add some heim joints and rods u should be good to go ... looks like about 1-1/2" of trail... perfect!!

I got the bottom part on the alternator bracket made. Now need to make the adjustable arm
Its made out of 1/4 flat and 1/2 rebar support
I like the look but wish I had justification to put another one on the other side to balance the look out
Instead I will put a dummy pulley on the other side

set an old seat on it.
I may have to rethink my seat design
I was going to have front seat, back seat, gas tank, truck bed
Basically I will have to move the front and back seats back some and move the gas tank to a different location and/or lengthen the rear for the truck bed

yeah....maybe move back 18" or so. gotta have room for legs and feet. if headers go straight out and then down over frame, your feet could be between headers and block , but could get warm.....other wise either side of tranny or bellhousing.....you may have to decide on your exhaust system before the seat location, just saying.
