Re: Dragndoorhandle

Aaaaaa. Had some trouble with that hood. The tires came blastin through so I left it. I have an idea of how to solve the problem right after I fix this bumper. See what you get when you show off at a show. Now I might as well took 200 bucks and burned it. Stupid move! Or wrong switch I still am pissed!

Re: Dragndoorhandle

Interesting thread. I am getting ready to start into my truck. I was planing on bagging the truck but i don't need it slammed on the ground. A couple inches off the ground would be plenty. Do you have any comments or things i need to address before i do it all myself. Or do you know where a article or website that explains all the steps one must do. Or how bout a list on what to buy. Nice truck. I have always been a fan of these trucks. Nothing sicker than a classic slammed!!!

When 7deuce throws a valve, he THROWS a valve. He also managed to chuck some piston rods and spit out a flywheel too.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

What kind of gas tank did you use? Did you have to do anything different to make it fit? How many gallons of gas? Can you see it when you are at driving height? Sorry for all the questions. Nicely done!!!!!! I think i will be asking you some questions about your rear suspension when i get a little closer. Sweet truck!

Re: Dragndoorhandle

I had the gut stripe the chrome "Joe Dirt" rear end cover and also the half shields for the head lights. That rear end and bed sides still look like SH!T. I need to get to the guy who did the tranny tunnel to hook up the bed. More pics tomarrow.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

By the way, The girl friend shut the money flow off. The new back bumper did it. And having the guy putting on the stripes while I was putting the new rear bumper on....... whell lets just say there was a mushroom cloud over my house that day. Cant wait until I tell her how much the paint job is going to cost!
