You figure with the holiday break we may get a few days off.  Then again, with the King of the Hammers less then 3 months away, there is honestly no time to waste.  So, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we’re back hanging with the Rock Bug.

On Friday we managed to layout the location of all four shocks using the mockup shock we got last Monday from King.  Rumor has it we should be seeing the actual quadruple bi-pass shocks from King in as soon as two weeks.  The video above shows the mockup shock assembled on the driver side rear axle.  All shock tabs still need to be capped and gusseted.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we focused on the front radiator mount.  Check out the size of this Ron Davis 19” x 26” x 4” radiator in comparison to the small V4 Scat motor!  Insane, especially at a weight close to 40 lbs including its dual 12” fans.  This was the radiator designed for King of the Hammers though and we won’t be responsible for blowing up the Scat, so it stays :-).  The front two support tubes are 1” OD x 0.095” 4130 chromoly while every other support tube is 1” OD x 0.065” 4130 chromoly.  The two lower support straps are 1/16” thick 4130 chromoly plate.  The front filler neck will be capped and moved.
