Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

[Harley]

Hows it going Josh? Hey, if you need seats for it. Please dont hesitate to ask. By no means am I forcing it on you. Just want to take care of ya as you have done for me.

I will definitely do that. I just hadn't yet since I didn't have the truck back yet. I plan on doing some brainstorming still on the theme for the panels. I need to pick the colors and such.

Pick colors???? Clear coat that baby and run raw steel. With the normal colored accent parts it would look sick!

 

[Harley]

Thanks guys. I'm so happy to have it back at the shop. Jerry did such a killer job. It's hard to see all the detail work he does, especially with paneling everything off. I'll get good shots of that later, may have to be during a tear down to really show it though.

Couple more shots.

So as soon as I got down to the shop I got to work on some details. This is really my first whack at doing sheet metal welding.

First up, making a double sheer panhard mount.

Here is how it started.

Quick template

Test fit

The new torch I picked up.

Installed before cleaning up the joints much. And a couple speed holes added.

for a first time welding - with a torch no less - i would say your doing pretty good - as long as it holds your in there mate.

Another thing I wanted to attempt was boxing in the shock tower. It was a pain and a lot of filing but turned out well.

Thanks, the fab work is going to take me longer since I have to spend lots of time filing and sanding. Hopefully as I get better that time goes down!

No, I didn't want it closed in to catch a bunch of dirt.
