You, you, artist, you!!! It sure is looking great! What is your abrasives bill so far?

Thank you Bob, coming from you is a great compliment. As far as my abrasives bill, I stop thinking about it, but I know its around 200.00 by now. I plan to tear it all down and DA with 220 grit the whole thing this winter.:D

The trailing arms are custom made from .188 steel, they are hollow inside. I made them wide enough to stick a threaded rubber bushing in there. There are threaded bungs welded to the frame to attach the bushing to. So what do you think? I wont need sliders for it since its bagged on all 4,s, I can lift it 5 inches off the ground while driving.

I worked on the bed area today. I made some frame work and made it rotate.
I kinda like the open side idea......

Nuckle you have way more imagination and skills than me, but on that grill I would take the two outer teeth off and pinch the bottom. Just a thought.
