100dollarman's 1st bobbed M35a3!

[jollyroger]

I'm sure the test will be fine. My doc is pretty thorough so she saw a slightly elevated level in blood tests and just wants to be sure.

I just know my buddie will ask the air assist question or A-3 power steering onto an A-2 and I wanted to have an educated response. I figured you might have been down that road as you have been there done that on most everything.

Thanks Mark.

Have you guys ever done the air assist steering on a deuce? I know the A-3 has power steering but how available is it to put on an A-2?

Jolly, it is just the Air O Matic kit that is common out there for the A2, along with a 2" smaller steering wheel.

Got the springs hung, and the axle prepped for install today--


Normally, I would have cut the frame first, but I am still working on the exact dimensions on frame length and box length on this one--

[Maverick1701]

I dont have any--- but they have been bringing pretty good coin lately-

That is what I was afraid of....I need to plant another money tree

 

[jollyroger]

You get seeds for that money tree and I will plant a whole field of them for all of us here on the farm.

Did you yet Hundy? Inqueiring minds want to know.

 

[100dollarman]

Not done yet....but she's gettin' there!

It'll start looking like a bobber soon--

I have the 100dollarman wheels with 14.00 GYs done. Got all the suspension done. Got the driveshaft lengthened (install Wed). Got the bed ready to cut to length tomorrow. Changed the dr door out (latch didnt work on old one)

Need to cut/weld/install the bed, then Tan paint in/out, then install whls/tires----- then deliver!!!

 

[100dollarman]

Got the bed cut today--

 

[100dollarman]

Got the bed sectioned and welded back together today-- gonna put the grinder to it to do a little cleanup-

Gonna try to do a little 'pre-paint' (front of bed, back of cab) tomorrow-

Looking good so far...

YEEEEERRRRRR... makin' me wanna' go-bad and git' one O' these darn things...

Been checking out these bobbed deuces for some time now and they DO have a real nice-lookin' stance. (like a healthy woman)

BTW; I'm local to ya', where do get your drive-shaft work done? In your shop? Or any recommend shops?

Meanwhile, keep up that good work!

Seeing this thread makes me excited for my build.

I've found a couple local places that have M35A2's, but I am shipping off to basic in 2 months so I'm going to wait until I get back from tech school to buy one and bob it. I'm just doing the Air Force Reserve so once I finish tech I'll go back to my regular job and then the 1 weekend a month with the reserve so I should have plenty of time to do the conversion.

Great build 100dollarman!

One of thing, Dollarman, I watched Extreme 4x4 make a bobbed duece and they used your 2 piece rims, but I didnt see them on your website, can I get some more info on those? Thanks

Are you going to keep the CTIS in tact? Love the A3's
