got the master cylinder mounted, the hydraulic clutch pedal is going to be a tight fit once I find a place to put it.

built a trans crossmember today. I get most of my metal from the scrap bin at work. this was made from steel racking. low budget[cl

mounted the steering box, now to figure out pedal placement. its pretty tight on foot/ankle room, dont want to have to drive this thing barefoot lol

built a removeable hoop that will hold my steering box for cowl steering. I am unsure if I am going to do under floor pedals or swing pedals. we will see how much space is left once the stering box is mounted. I also am setting up the cab to tilt back on hinges since the engine is set back so...

the cab bottom is 1/2" out on one side. I might be able to use a porta power and try to get it closer

any more pics of the hammerform process? truck is looking good!

I was thinking about a camera for that, also one to see stoplights.

going to run the 36 wheels with ribbed hubcaps on the rear, spokes up front. I have a full set of spokes if I change my mind.

spent all day working on the truck, but didnt do anything to it. stare at it, measure, think about it, measure, walk around it, stare at it. [S
