A Vegas Strip Act
This morning, I loaded the chassis up into the pick-up and ran it over to Plastic Media Stripping, to have them strip off all of the old rust, paint and rubber. Then, I went home, assembled my pair of metal saw horses and positioned the Bradley sub-chassis on the saw horses. I started measuring and making sketches of the sub-chassis for Mark and managed to get the front battery box drafted up on the computer. Actually, I shouldn’t say that it’s just for Mark. I‘m going to be using the drawings as a basis for designing a new sub-chassis.
Once home, I disassembled all of the parts remaining on the VW chassis. This, for the most part, consisted of removing stuff from the rear end including the transaxle, the brake drums, the brake shoes and all parts mounted on the rear brake backing plates, the rear stub axles, the diagonal arms and the spring plates.
