    Welding on a 3053A?

    It's been a fun project for sure! But it's also been a test of fab skills, lateral thinking, and stress! :-D None of the components were originally meant to work together so I've had to really plan things out. Then stretching the tub and hard top was an adventure in and of itself. I always joke...

    Welding on a 3053A?

    So it was too dark by the time I got home to get any decent pix of the engine/trans combo but... I do have some other pix to toss up.

    This is the 5 speed trans out of the Deuce. And although I'm not sure of the actual mounting in a Deuce situation- I know that in my hybrid/Jeep endevour that I really have no way of mounting it. The sides of the case are mostly a vertical plane with only a few curves or angles at the bottom or...

    Welding on a 3053A?

    Howdy guys! I'm back with yet another question about the 3053A transmission. Up until this point I've had it bolted up to my Detroit (which is bolted to the frame with mounts) and for extra support, whilst I designed the mounts, the tail end was cradled on a ratchet strap slung between the frame...
