    I think you should install a frame under it.
    Don't mix neo-2000 themes with traditional ideas.
    It's like a great looking 40 year old wearing "fuck-me" shoes and a halter top.
     

  5. I have to agree, it's a little too low. And Sanford drove an F1, not F100.

    It'll look good aired up a bit. You have the luxury of bringing it up (or down) to whatever height YOU want.

    I think it's impressive for your first build.

    Hey Petejoe. Which is traditional? The 40 year old or the pumps/halter top? :D

    That just about sums up half my milf fantasies right there.
    Nice job for sure. Those trucks look GREAT with their front end eating the pavement.

    I think that some rubber stops on the rear end would give it the proper stance. Raise the back up a few inches and your golden!!!!

    It needs a bail of hay.
     
  16. Where the hell is she, I like young chicks. :eek:

    Looks ok, one thing that most of us forget is that laying frame is cool but most trad cars didn't have bags so it falls into a gray area when it comes to being correct or not.

    That said you won't be driveing it that low unless you pop all your bags so I figure it'll be pretty sweet rollin down the road. They all look better in motion than parked as far as I'm concerned.

    Keep wrenchin' and don't let a single one of us sway you, build it like you like and let the chips fall where they may.

    Is it just me or does the front of the bed need a few more shims? Nice looking body on it thou.
    And why is the guy pissing on the fence?

    jd55f100,

    Personally I dig your truck. I'm a fan of the lowered look. Some people here have even used bags on 30's & 40's traditional & custom vehicles....(say it aint so).....

    Anyone that bring back to life a vintage vehicle is A-OK in my book.

    As you can tell, by now, you opened the door when you asked "what do you think?"

    Build it your way, drive it, enjoy it & fuck the critics.....in the end YOUR the only one that needs to like it.

    Paco

  23. Hey,
    I've seen some 40 y.o. women in "FUCK ME SHOES" and halter tops that would knock your socks off.
