Thank you knomadd!!

Re: A real BadSeed
 

UPDATE!!!:

I removed the springs from my bench seat to clear the way for my Snowden Foam Kit.

Other than that, I've done some tinkering. I had to do some work to my minitruck. It'll be headed to Texas for Lone Star Throwdown in February to show off at the big one and celebrate my truck club's 25th anniversary. Xtreme Lowz :metal:

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I made some custom bed braces. I had my buddy Dan at DotLow Rides in Texas water jet the sides and I did the rest. I'm happy with how they turned out. They aren't bolted in here in the pics. The fronts were moved back a few inches.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Dude this truck is insane. It's one thing to have killer ideas but not many have the talent to make them a reality, great job on both engineering and execution.
Also genius idea on the sheet metal break with the hydraulic press, I may need to borrow that one. I'm subscribed till the end on this one :metal:

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Thank you Graham57a!

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Really nice build, excellent craftsmanship all around. What software do you use to draw up the parts your buddy water jets out for you?

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Thank you. I scribble them down on a piece of paper with measurements, and he does the rest. Not sure what programs he uses

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I started mounting my AirLift 3H sensors. The rear sensors mount to the side of the frame with some tapped holes. On the lower Link bar I mounted a tab with a 1/8" hole.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I designed and had cut the front sensor mounts and some custom sensor covers. Waiting for them to show up so I can get the fronts mounted too

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I also got the access doors mounted. I welded them in, but not in this pic. These are in the frame right behind the cab. How do I flip images?

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Wow, you are a master metal craftsman. I salute your skills. I will be watching this build till completion. SUBSCRIBED!
And by the way, I have your next project in line when your ready. LOL http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1509976449

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Got the other side of the bumper done and one bumper bolt shaved. Lol:devil:

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Hey there. It's time for an update. I wound up moving my mirrors up. I like the new location. I have a piece of C-channel that I've drilled and tapped to receive the mirror mount screws on the inside of the door skin.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I'm designing a cantilever battery bracket to hang off the side of frame and house my big ass'd batteries. I'm doing 2 of these, one on each side of the truck. metal: I design it and draw it out. Then I'll send the dimensions to my club brother in Texas, and he'll send me the pieces. DotlowRides

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Alla-kazaam!

Re: A real BadSeed
 

The cross-country DotLowRides Laser cut cantilever battery tray parts have arrived. There was a good amount of mill-scale on them so I made an acid bath. Here's a step by step in pic form for ya.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I mocked up the pieces to see how we did. I like it. I will finish these off just like the bed floor braces.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

That battery box is nice , I bet ya'll could sell those .

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Any update on the seat foam kit? Will it sit lower? Custom interior or ???
Been awhile since I peeked in last. Takes time to recover when you blow my mind.
Killer Skills Man.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

***P.S., you'll need a bucket of fresh water to submerge the parts in after the acid bath. That will neutralize the acid. It will also cause premature rusting, so blow off the water with a high pressure hose.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

The seat foam kit will sit lower, and includes side and middle bolsters. Kind of like the one in the picture here. This is Chris Snowden's Seat Foam kit, on his frame, covered by his guys. I'm using my frame and upholstery guys.

Some pics.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I got all my parts in for the battery trays.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Time to mock them up and get them mounted. These will be bolt on when done.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I want these to match the rest of my parts with a radius like the frame corner.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

And installed...

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Speechless! OMG - mad skillz and even sicker style! This truck is gonna crush the scene which is hard to do these days!

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Damn Great build so far!!!!

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I finished up the battery strap with a barrel hinge on the corner to make it more easily removable. This side is done. On to the driver's side

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Can you show what your using as a base for the foam seat ?

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Battery tray set-up turned out very nice. I'm wondering about their placement though. Seems they're installed in the same real estate the front bed panel will need to occupy?

Re: A real BadSeed
 

Thank you Canuckvetter. I plan on cutting down that front panel to match the bed floor.

Re: A real BadSeed
 

I'm using the factory bench seat with the springs removed. I have a 2000 rack under it, and a combination on 67 and 00 feet attached to the bottom.
