Gauges...

 

Very useful gauge set you've got there. It's making me thing about doing that as my next mod!

 

I like it, I can't take credit for it, as the previous owner did it. I just wish he had taken better care of the frame! I am still looking for a shop to do the work, I find it incredible that no one in this small town wants to do it.

 

thats because frame work is a bitch. i just spent a weekend doing my rusty frame and its not easy. welding upsidedown under a truck is no picnic

 

Continuing to paint the wheels:

Stripped the spindle on the lug. Had to cut it off. REAL FUN...










But I did manage to get the wheel off. Now I hope I didn't damage anything too bad so the new one will go in.

 

I decided to take some pics while the wheels were drying.

When I bought this truck, it had ONE shock on it. The guy didn't know what kind of lift it had. Oh-Yeah, and the "frame is as solid as they come"...

So take a look at the pics, feel free to make suggestions, I will have to make this setup work somehow.. I can't try out the flex, because I don't want to risk damaging the frame as it is now(rusted).




























A Big THANKS! to Waskillywabbit for help with the wheel lugs!

 

Sorry the recent pics are crap. I hope to pick up a new camera T/M.

 

I gotta get the top off this thing! The weather has been so nice....... :beach:







Oh Yeah, I can't wait till summer!

 

Nice, they always look better with their top off...

Hows that thing ride with only one shock?

 

STIFF....

 

Got all 4 wheels finished...





And the last thing a lowrider sees in his rearview mirror before being squashed...

 

niiiiiiceee! looking good. you can afford a better camera right? hahaha

 

looks alot better w/ the black rims.

 

Yeah, I know the pics suck. I am going tonight to look at a few new cams.

 

Yeah that does look 100% better with black rims... In the second pic it looks like your front end is way out of allignment..

 

I think its the camera angle... I hope so B/C I can't imagine finding someone to do an alignment job on this truck...

 

is it just me or does anyone else feel that it would look alot better if the rear wheelwells were the same hight as the front

 

I agree, the rear wheel wells will be trimmed this summer, after I get some practice welding.

 

UPDATE

Rig is in the shop.

 

what shop?
