I got these awsome hinges from the Ring Brothers. I was talking to Mike over there and he told me that anyone off the board here that wants a set they can get 10% off. Pm me or call them direct and mention me.

nice work and killer hinges !

tac106842 · 05-14-2012, 10:39 AM

Chris the truck looks great. I like the billet aluminum hood hinges, they work alot smoother than the stock hinges. I will keep watching your build!

CHRIS67GMC · 05-14-2012, 12:52 PM

Wheel tubs are done. The hood hinges are a awsome part make the hood fit with plenty of adjustment. It opens and closes smooth.

Made some more progress on the cage. Incase anyone was wanting to know we use Mitler Brothers bender and notcher great machines. I use a Lincoln 275 Tig with a I head that swivels with hand controls this works great for getting around the tubes.

Very nice work! I'm joining in to go along for the ride...

mcbassin · 05-17-2012, 12:01 AM

Another super cool truck. The hinges are a work of art! Did you annodize or powder coat the black one?

CHRIS67GMC · 05-17-2012, 06:53 AM

The Black hinges are anodized. Ring Brothers build them.

Ups brought me some stoping power today. These monster Wilwoods are awsome. I also know how to make it possible to run 5-4.75 bolt pattern. This makes the center hub much smaller.
