Post your flatbed load pictures here

Todays load.....
The Blue Range Rover has a Chevy LSx in it now, which has taken me many moons to get done right. As it is, the HVAC, cruise control, Electronic Air Suspension, and all other systems on the Rover work as intended.
Now to go get an exhaust put on it so I can put the LSx into learn mode for the idle etc, and finish off tidying up the wiring etc.



The adapter I made, to go from the Chevy bell housing to the Rover's ZF transmission


Has been a "fun" job, kinda.....considering that this has never been done before, everything has to be fabricated for it. Adapters, motor mounts, made a suspension lift to accommodate the oil pan, and so on..

That's pretty neat Martin. My son would love this. He builds midget and sprint car racers and is always fabricating something. Lot's of fun

 

Nice job Martin. Can't wait to see it going down the road

 

My Schnabble load for this week. Steel tank wrapped with 3" of insulation then covered with aluminum sheeting the thickness of a beer can. I am guessing that sheeting that thin isnt very impact resistant, but I didnt want to test that theory. It looks expensive to fix.

 

Very cool Martin.

 

Do you have to set up and arrange your escorts and permits, or does the company get all that for you?

 

Thanks guys, it's been a challenge for sure.
Exhaust done, besides the gaskets that go between the manifolds and down pipe. No one had them in stock locally.
Got a really faint rattle sound when the exhaust was done, and was nailed down to the flywheel (brand new) is wobbling around.....Love it.

Do you do all of the machining yourself Martin?

 

We have four ladies at headquarters who do all of that for us. They claim they order 300 permits a week as well as set up escorts.

 

Machining, hacking, cursing, and so on. Yep, made that adapter with my vertical band saw and my drill press! Lots of measuring...lol
