Looks evil, mean, wicked, bad and nasty. And that's a compliment.

those dirt track tires are perfect on the rear, I dont think there is such a thing as too big on a fenderless rod.

Got a few more things done. Lighting is all in and works. Working on finalizing the wiring routes before I install the floor-pan completely.
Window regulators were pretty damaged so went the cheap route and installed electric windows, got one side installed.
Have some issues with the e-brake I'm trying to iron out, seems that the lokar ebrake handle barely has enough to engage the ebrake. I have a ford 8.8 disk with inner drum ebrake. Maybe its just the adjustment but its a pain.
Its borderline ready for a maiden voyage once the ebrake is sorted and the snows gone.

Time for an update.
Been working on the air bag suspension. Have tank, compressor, and all the solenoids installed and plumed and wired. All works although i have one sticky down valve in the back Ill have to deal with.
Only problem is I cant stand the sight of the bag controller. Clear plastic box with seven plastic buttons that's not meant for mounting.
So my plan was to strip it down and change to mounted steel toggle switches.
Simple.
Then a buddy(electrical engineer) says maybe we should "nightrider" the suspension. I'm like cool but nah keep it simple. But then after thinking about it, it would be cool to have autoride that would keep it a specified ride heights.

So now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I've purchased a Arduino and am playing with it now. Have it set so I can power relays with it.
We will see how far I get...

I dont like those controllers either. I use a remote kit from air slamit.

This isnt the exact kit but does the same thing

Also, truck looks killer
