The color is killer.

Re: MY build thread...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Wow I just noticed how long its been since Ive done anything on my truck. I did remove the rear suspension to figure out bag placement and ordered two more bags so they are coming soon. Heres a few from a couple weeks ago. I have the notches made I just have to cut the frame and weld in.

Re: MY build thread...

That color looks identical to what I sprayed minus the marble. Looks good.
Mark I'm ready to spray that as soon as I feel better go figure the weather gets nice and my sinuses open up and made my throat raw.

Re: MY build thread...

Very cool! :metal:

Re: MY build thread...
 

sweet, what size valves you running?

Re: MY build thread...
 

3/8" for the rear and 1/2" for the front. I was screwing around last night and measured lockup and slammed at the back portion of frame by the rollpan and came up with about 11" of lift. Now onto the front...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Not bad for a couple of honkeys

Re: MY build thread...
