A month and a half ago I had an allen wrench fly from a bolt and hit me in the eye. No pain no discomfort, I just remember thinking……..man that...
Maybe just boxes. Ha [ATTACH]
You have the cool factor and then you air up the bags and you can drive it comfortably. Not sure what is useless about that. That seems the...
I would like to know more about what could have been used on this grill. Looks great to me and would like to find something for my truck grill....
Thats the best I could do in Paint.
How about raising the road instead of lowering? Look how much better this Zephyr looks. :p [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'd drive that
And if I leave it raised up you probably wouldn't know it was bagged. My 34 3 window and model A sedan I built have a nice low stance... They...
Oh man there goes my coffee. LOL
Agree, it's all good
If I raise the truck say 5" and haul some lumber to build a deck is it still stupid, useless and ruined. :D:p Since it's not road worthy yet I...
Still working it and it's built and thought out very well. Its not either of what you say. But it is custom and has been super fun to build.
Both sitting still. Can you tell which one looks tougher? Nothing wrong with either truck. The lower the better for me here but not for every...
Just starting to wire the truck. Last night I built this hinged flip down panel that bolts up under the dash. This way I can sit on the seat and...
I kid you not this was $900 at both dealers I stopped. I just needed the idle mixture screw and couldn't find a replacement. Emissions something...
I found them at Rocky Hinge company. Bear claw activators.
I'll have to look through my notes tonight, forgot where I found that. Not a common part I remember.
Beef up the interior with wood braces. Use a good west systems epoxy resin on the wood. Then lag or bolt your hinge brackets to the wood.
Inner first as others have said. This is what I did. I built hinges and mounted two steel flat bars to the hinges and to the inner panel. You can...
I can't wait to drive up to the town of Winter Wisconsin after work today. Cabin on the lake, quiet, peaceful, ice fishing, cap fire and beers on...
Do all brake fittings leak as well? No
My current truck project I'm building around air ride. Love the look laying on the running boards. It is specific to this truck and would not want...
With bags you can set the stance, the look and ride height you want. I'm pushing age 60 and still love them low. :) [ATTACH]
I had this photo stored. I kind of dig it but not sure what it would look like at ride height. Maybe kind of goofy?[ATTACH]
I will be trying these on mine. Menards also sells lumber.....boom done. [ATTACH]

The Before.... Drove 4 hours to pick this gem up. Almost lost a fender on the way home and the box almost slid off at one point in the trip....
I had this glass shell laying around so I built the insert using 3/16 and 1/4 inch rod. I have maybe $75 into it. If you can swing it don't use...
What the heck, I'll follow with another 41-46 black Chevy [ATTACH]
The whites along with the black[ATTACH]
