Lifted without buying a lift
So I needed a little mental health time, (I have not been in a good head space at work). so I took a couple days and immersed myself in the garage with the cart.
I removed the front axle, cut the saddles off the bottom and rewelded them to the top of the axle. same with the rack and shock mounts. then I removed the rear, Flipped the axles over cut the shock mounts and rewelded them back to somewhat of the original position. I didn't measure before and after but I got about a 3 to 4 inches of lift out of the project. I feel very accomplished and i believe my head benefitted form not having to think about work for two days.. I should have documented and took pictures along the way, but I was just not feeling it. here is a before and after photo. You can see the difference in the wheel wells. Now back to the body work.... |

Re: Lifted without buying a lift
I want to get the body work done and paint before deciding what wheels/tires to go with.
I am figuring with the paint I picked it will look good with 20" tires on the 8" rims with the Chrome Full Moon hub caps... Kinda vintage looking. |

Re: Lifted without buying a lift
Coming along nicely! Gonna keep the roof off? On a side note, I don't know what you do for work, but keeping a fresh, clear and happy head is so important. I'm glad you took some time to do that, but keep at it. Mental health is so important and undervalued.

Thank You. I run all of the IT needs of a High School and Middle School, and this Covid/Political Nightmare has me wound tight.

Re: Lifted without buying a lift
Here in NJ its Brutal... But not here to talk work. LOL.
Here is a stock photo of the EG6023K. The roof will go back on and my paint scheme is Ford Blue to replace the Yellow and Bright White to replace the Silver. I am spraying it with Valspar Implement paint single stage. I already have it on the shelf so why not. All LED lighting and a Marine Radio. These are street cars in Asia, so they come with windshield wiper, Horn, Blinkers, 4 way flashers, and Brake lights. I bought 4" tail lights with integrated blinkers, and clear marker lights for reverse lights. |
