Progress Thread Project Copper Can

I have this sheet of corrugated plastic we get off of a/c units when they get shipped out which makes it a little bit easier on my back but jacking it up is gonna be the fun part for sure

Update....

Went to my transmission guy, never again will I buy from TCI AUTO. Spent 2K on my trans for them to send me a stock internal trans with a transbrake and hardened input shaft. Long story short, I welded a couple of high gear clutch discs, 2nd gear band is completely gone, the bearings on the planetary gears are wearing into themselves. The guy I took it to is amazed they only used 4 clutches in the high and low gear. Also he is upgrading all of that stuff and getting me back on the road for 1000 bucks. Build a race car it'll be fun they said lol. I forgot to take pictures of it while I was there but the carnage was real on the part. Seriously thinking going th400 now

Ouch. Buy some of those workout mats from Amazon. Pretty cheap, and feels better. I have a 6x4 section I use when I lay on the ground

Glad you're back up and running. It sucks when stuff breaks.

I had to put a trans in a mini bus....on my back. That's when I learned that ratchet straps across the frame rails....or sub frame connectors....will lift a trans up. They'll let it down, too...slowly with good technique. [emoji106]

Bad ass I didn't think of that I had a buddy jack up the trans while I balanced it and he put the crossmember in and we just slid it forward only took 2hrs to get everything done and back on the road

Jeff yeah I ran it Friday and made a huge embarrassment of myself and spilled fluid down the track .... Split one of the trans cooler lines. I have a remote cooler and some AN lines coming in now. Received a new name for the car .. Mosquito killer. :eek:
