noonzor · 01-24-2011, 11:57 AM

i think it looks like sh**..... but thats said out of pure jealousy haha. some great work man.
what are your plans for the bodywork on the cab/box?

FnLow69 · 01-24-2011, 12:18 PM

Thanks everyone!

Noonzor- the cab will be chopped (having decided if i wanna do a custom dash yet?) and the bed im going to get new box sides. The rear fenders need to be raised 2". The front clip well get frenched headlights. Theres some other mods but you all will have to wait to see, as im not sure they will work yet.....

What's up Justin? Maybe you said before and I forgot or maybe not... But what do you do for a living? You've got some serious talent! Fame is looking great by the way! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the rest of the '53...

very nice work! The details like the capping of the frame mount will make the frame that much nicer in the end!

Well I decide to change the upper wishbone to a triangulated four link, didnt like the long front mounting tabs. Also Got the rear shocks mounted to the lower bars. As well as made the mount for the accuair vavle and i've started the computer mount.

Here are the pictures...

Well i got the front swaybar most of the way mocked up tonight.... pictures soon!

FnLow69 · 02-22-2011, 01:35 AM

Well the sway bar wont work, but oh well.

I redid the accuair valve mount cause i didnt care for it resting on the driveline hoop. I also got the lower link end changed out to rod ends, and got the third member in to check driveline clearance.

Heres the pictures.

valve mount and computer mount...

Link ends...
