Looks nice... one thing.. and you're gonna hate me for this.. :lol: .... "knew" is the past tense for "know" as in "I knew that guy."

You want "new." :D

Nice work. What do you have for front susp? It sits way low for a 6 hole front & no motor...

hey cornfed63

ya if you notice there is a shot of one of the coils laying on the floor.. just pulled them out to see what it was gonna look like with the mustang II drop suspension in it. i plan on going at least this low in the front and back and maybe a little lower in front.

57sailplane, could you provide me a better shot of the completed radio area? I'm thinking about filling it in as well and wondering what this looks like.

hey brad

here are some pictures yet it is still not complete. it needs a little filler on the edge above the heater controls. and here are som pictures of my latest design work. i am step notching useing modified parts from a differant frame. you quys will be happy to note that these came off a frontal damaged truck what was left of her. just cab and frame. oh ya what do you think of my tranny cooler i picked up for 10 dollars at the same yard. this thing should keep my tranny cool its huge..

It droped.
I know not very far along but i did get somthing done this weekend. the front is coming down farther as soon as i get some mustang II a-frames.. i am going to build my own front cross member. this thing is going to be a coil over truck not baged so it will ride perty low for springs. you guys have any ideas on how close i can run the frame to the rear axcel with 150# springs.

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
 
Dude!!! Haven't you heard? Filling the radio hole will make your truck worthless!!! At least that's what some say about cutting it to put a cd player in. :crazy:

You better just donate that truck to me and I'll take care of it for you so you don't have to live with the shame anymore! :gi:

Re: Slow And Low So Goes The Tempo!!!
 
It's been awhile since you updated so I had not seen your build yet, until now.

May I say, we need more regular updates on this one for sure. :metal:

Very Very Nice Work. I like it alot.

I do know how things are though, I have not even started a build thread yet so I have no room to talk :lol:

RJ22...:)

well i have made some progress..

suspension is pretty much done.. the only thing i might add is the brakets to adjust the drag arms up and down in the at the front of them. colom is in and fully functional. the ride height can be adjusted up and down all the way around. this is probably lower than what i will be driving on the strip or street. anyways here are pics..

Awesome project. I wish I had a place to do something like that with mine. It's nice to see that you've basically built everything you can instead of buying it. Keep it up.
