Really enjoyed reading through your build. This and a few others are getting me motivated to get back on my own build. Looking forward to seeing the end product. I'll definitely be borrowing a few ideas.

Thank you, appreciate it. Makes me know I am doing something right at such a young age. It has taken longer than I had ever expected but hopefully it will be worth it in the end! Use all the ideas you want, I have seen some awesome ideas on the internet that I would like to incorporate into my build, but not sure if I have the skill to, guess there's only one way to find out.

Thank you. The whole under-carriage should be ready to go to powder coat next weekend. Working on the c notch this weekend getting all the welds smoothed out and getting all the edges evened out. Probably gonna go with a semi gloss black on the frame and wheels.

Not yet man, been so busy with school. On Christmas break now so hopefully can finish my frame and start replacing panels in the cab. As well as find somebody to build the motor, have all the parts just waiting to find somebody who can build it instead of paying somebody an arm and leg just to assemble it. Hopefully will have some color on the undercarriage shortly after the new year!

The main corss-member is out of a Heidts Mustang ll kit, as well as the top shock towers and upper A arms. But since we decided to bag the truck, we replaced the bottom A arms with special bag A arms just to let the bag sit on a more fitted piece for it.

Not really.. Everything is bare right now, just haven't had any time to get all of it to powder coater. I have everything for the motor, just not sure on how to put it together.. Was kind of wanting to find somebody that I could pay to help assemble it instead of taking it to a machine shop and getting charged an arm and a leg.
