WOW!!

Lou-keen good. Ya still got some work to do, but you've made some great progress. It sure takes time to fab stuff, 10-4?

In my case, I spend about half my time standing there (or on the creeper) just gawkin' at it, wondering what I'm gonna do next, and puttin' a plan together.

Hey Hurc, whazzzup? Where are you? Do I bend my sliderz in house? Yes and no, I go to a buddies place to use the break. You need a set(?). PM me for details.

Wow, I love it!
Those tires don't look so tall :D Must be because they are so wide graemlins/thefinger.gif

How wide is the rear sidewall to sidewall now that it is together? :eek:

Vic thinks it still looks small :confused:

[Camp]

Look'n great Bob!!! You really do nice work graemlins/beer.gif

Slow progress as of late... Did manage to get the steering box mount and shock hoops/bump stops done up front.

Nice!!

[79CJLongmont]

That is some damn good looking work! Only question I have is, why did you not extend the top mount for the steering box bracket? Ya know what I am talking about? M.O.R.E.'s long vertical plate intersects the top plate perpendicularly. You just have the bracket coming off of it to one side like a right angle instead of a T. I was just wondering what your thoughts were.

You do really good work!

Box bracket is as such to move the box closer to the frame (outside) for steering shaft clearance past the engine. I need all I can get to get past that phat 455.

Bob Gotcha!

Are you sure you are going to have enough power with that 455? graemlins/thefinger.gif graemlins/thefinger.gif
