Re: Finally my own build thread!
Hey Poorboy before i went to work i got the dropmember in the correct spot so when i get back home tonight i will have it installed (just tacked in) and then i can put control arms on and start fabing up the front suspension. I will post some pics tonight! When i get the truck done i will swing on by and pic you up for a cruise!
AesC10s- Thanks for the complements on the frame. Yeah i built it. After i get my truck done I was thinking about building a few sets of frames for people who want a custom frame without sacrificing an arm and leg. I have alot more ideas that i am going to incorporate into my frame there just isn't enough time in the day. So i have to be patient until i get there. Anyways talk to you later. Josh |
Re: Finally my own build thread!
What are you still doing with drum brakes on that thing????!:crazy:
You might want to consider getting those mocked in so that you won't have any trouble with brake lines later. IMO...... |
Re: Finally my own build thread!
Nice :cool:
|
Re: Finally my own build thread!
I can't wait for that ride.

Well i finally got the front suspension roughed in. I love it!! It looks so sweet in person! All i have to do is design the upper shockwave mounts and the front is close to being done. I will fully weld it in after i put the fenders on to make sure that i am center at dump. Man this is getting fun:metal: . The shockwaves are just sitting there for the pics. I had to see what it is going to look like.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Lookin SWEET abadsvt !! :bling2:

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Man abadsvt, it's really looking great!! You have come along way in a short time. I really like you rear bag set up, very impressive! Keep up the good work, it looks like it's paying off!
|
Re: Finally my own build thread!
It's looking great Josh! Looks like we measured everything right! Keep the progress going, and the pics coming!

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Thanks everyone! I just ordered some cab mounts so hopefully i can get the cab on next week so i can verify my wheel locations so i can weld everything up. I hate having to wait on something else to finish what i am trying to get done. If that make sence.
Cal58- I am glad you like the rear setup! I was curious if anyone was going to like it. It is very different which i was trying to go for. I think it will look nicer once everything is powdercoated. I wanted something more creative than the run of the mill suspension setups. There are so many of our trucks and i wanted to try to stand out. By the way your truck looks sweet!! Josh |

YEAH!!!! I finally got my wheels back from the powdercoater. I was really worried when i got a phone call today telling me wheels are finally done. What if i picked a color that was too dark or too light and i just ruined 2k worth of wheels and not to mention i still had to pay the powdercoater, but they came out PERFECT!:metal: The look exactly what i wanted. Here is a couple pics. The first pic is pretty close to what the color looks like in person. All the other ones a little lighter because of the flash. Tommorrow i am getting the tires mounted and will take a pic or two outside with the tires on. Anyways i just had to share them.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
They look great Josh.
|
Re: Finally my own build thread!
what size wheels are they?
I really like your frame, do I even want to know how many hours you have in working on it? |
Re: Finally my own build thread!
Josh, the front looks great! Drop member goodness at it's best for sure. Hat's off to Nathan as well, perfect as always.
Those wheels look great too, mind if I ask what you spent on the powder job? I found a cool high gloss trans black powder that I am going to use if I end up running the Escalade wheels. |
