Man its hot here hard to get much done

Tiny,
Tell me!!! It was in the upper 90's here & humid big time! I was buffing 1 of my cars up a little bit & B4 long was drenched solid. Hard to get lots of work done like that but I just scored a big fan!!!

Progress looks good Tiny,
If you insist on getting out in the heat and doing all this work, Play it smart and drink plenty of water. Today won't be bad at all.
Good luck man...

Did you ever find that junk yard around Ozark or did you give up?
 
I've been non stop working of the truck. Didn't realize how much time it took making brackets and mounts. Here is a few shots of the rear end. Still have to make shock mounts yet and weight jacks.

Tiny,
Man you have been bustin it haven't you.
All that progress looks real good. I thought my eyes were playin tricks on me at first, but it really is twim I beam front end.

Hats off for thinking "Outside the Box"
 
Thanks guys I'll be glad when i can go for a ride in it :) I know my buddy is ready to take it for a spin
 
Pretty trick looking front suspension there Tiny. Good work.


Thanks Gastrick! I didn't think i was going to like it at first but its what my buddy wanted its his truck. I'm just building it. Now after getting it under there i think it may work out OK. I still think I'm going with a drop axle in mine when i start on it.
 
looking great tiny! you know, i went into kragens on saturday and saw a decal for sale that is the same as your avatar. i thought "hey, that's tinys avatar!" anyways, just wanted everyone to know i spend way too much time online :D
 
thanks joehalford01 .. lol when i got my first car i had some thrush glass packs on it always loved that woodpecker on them hated to see it get burnt off
 
Here is a couple more from today.
