tmorgan4 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Well........it's super hard to get good pictures in the garage but here are a few. Pretty much sleeper status. Homemade rear truss with some not so awesome welds Start of the rear shock mounts. These will tie into the entire rear part of the cage with about 12 more tubes. Critique all you want but it's far from finished!!! Edited January 23, 2010 by tmorgan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Tyler, I'm so Speechless. That RIG of yours kick Arse.

FUELER Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Tyler, you're animal!!!! Props!! So jealous! PS question about yoru hydrolocked VG33 - how did that go down? The reason i ask, is i hydrolocked mine over the weekend and it fired up but ran funny for 20 mins. Now runs fine, should I worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 nevermind! Wasnt hydrolock at all - water got into the plug for the MAF sensor! All fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Good to hear! Sorry I'm late on responding but it sounds like you got it figured out. I've had that happen quite a few times where it runs rough for a couple hours and then eventually dries out. Much easier fix than a new engine!

tmorgan4 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks again for all the compliments. Helps to find the motivation to finish it! I finally got a bunch of laser cut parts in today I've been waiting on for a month and a half. I got the radiator mounted and it worked out great. I'm actually beginning to think that this might actually be drivable again someday. A bunch of hoses I ordered from Samco should show up soon that had to be made and shipped from the UK. My other set of ORIs should be here at the end of March that I ordered in December. I have a fuel pump on the way. I think it's cool to see parts go from CAD to being built when they fit like they're supposed to. Spent a lot of time thinking how to mount the radiator so it's easily removable but it's not going anywhere when it's mounted. There will be another support tying the upper and lower mounts together between the fans and there will be rubber between the radiator and mount. The reason for all the heims on the front end is the "radiator support" is completely removable and the only way of getting the engine out. Once it's unbolted the entire engine, transmission, and Atlas can be pulled out as a single unit. Edited March 3, 2010 by tmorgan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 is that how low the back is gonna sit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlFairweather Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't think he has the suspension in on the back yet, that's why it's sitting low. Amazing job so far though/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87pathy Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Looks pretty good, You might want to re-think your hydro steering setup though. you want your links to be straight at FULL lock. if not, you'll wear yout that cylinder in NO time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorgan4 Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Haven't gotten much of anything done lately. I'm trying to buy dry sump parts but ATI has had my crank damper for 3 weeks and hasn't even looked at it yet. I'm trying to get them to make a custom one but they aren't very cooperative. Looks pretty good, You might want to re-think your hydro steering setup though. you want your links to be straight at FULL lock. if not, you'll wear yout that cylinder in NO time. I've found that this depends on who you ask. Howe recommends having the tie rod in line with the ram at full extension, but PSC says otherwise. PSC recommends that you split the difference so that's how I've got mine mounted.
