I just noticed the welds on the a pillars. It really looks good. I like the all black version.It is subtle,but speaks for itself. I like stuff you have to look at awhile to really notice the differences. It truly is impressive.
thanks... thats the idea. hopefully when its sectioned no one will notice the chop or the body section because of the proportions being the same as stock but just shorter..
not trying to disrespect you (i love the project, toyota or ford) please tell me you plug/rosett welded those multipul tube splices(i hope they are tube splices and not butt welds). also i see a node or two that look like they could move an inch and a half to be on top of each other just for streangth, but the needed position could be wrong.
now i have never built a 2wd frame or a lowrider frame. i kinda stick to rock crawler cages
the project looks bad ass. there are a few (a lot) that think because you have an old ford it should be old. some of us kinda like to see these old slicks looking as good as some of those pee wee herman bow ties.
You must remember it is an open forum with all kinds of ******s out there including me....
Good to see you recognize the name i posted.
Nice fab work, and real aggressive body mods.

the splices your talking about i think theres only two there at the back they are non structure joints we only did that to make a cool spot for the batterys they dont hold the frame just tie in to it,as for the node you see i have no idea what your talking about, this is only part of the double frame rails and the rest is still being done, maybe after the rest is done, and the upper frame rails are in place it will make sence and look right once you see it complete.

sema is the goal
mark barbbe seems to be quite the unapreciative whiney boy, he has even personally threatened me with dismantling my relationship with a sposor we have in common, toyo tires to be exact, so yes i know him well
im not worried about **** talkers or ****ers like you, your my favorite kind of guy, i used to be that guy but time is sparce now a days for me..
Sorry to have touched on a sore spot.. He had a few words with a friend of mine who shot his truck and put it in print, and it escalated from there. I seriously doubt he will ever get any Mag coverage in the future...Never gnaw off the hand that feeds ya...
I know what you mean on the time. I only get to work on My Uni project on Saturdays at IC, and have my hands full bidding and procuring work for the mechanical contractor i work for during the week.

ya i heard he complained all over the place, i personally thought that cct did a great job and wrote a beautiful feature, and barbees doll is a bitchin title...he got a really bad wrap on a few websites and in media relations as well because of it.. his take was that the mag should be lucky theycould cover his truck, when in reality its a known fact that its an honor, ive got a cover coming out next month on minitruckin magazine and i couldnt be more delighted, i couldnt give two ****s no matter what they call it, its a great honor and pat on the back to be recognized for your hard work with a cover shot.... mark barbee is a good example of heads that dont fit through doorways...
and i know i said i wouldnt say anything negative about the guy but at this point he brought it on himself, i guess my foots in my mouth but again, hes an ungrateful mess
Yep, Mag coverage is a Honor, not a right. I will look for the MT cover, Congrats...
I managed to get my 85 F150 Goat truck in CT at the supernats in 2003, By mistake as i beached it in front of the Grand Hotel for the week....

sorry i came off as an *******, for some reason i was thinking the tube splices were structural. as for the nodes i was thinking along the lines of roll cages and was thinking about something completely different than what you have going on there. sweet truck, keep up the good work.
I have a 1961 Ford F100 Unibody truck I'm trying to see if anybody knows where or how can I purchase a power steering kit. If someone can please direct me to a right direction.
How about you try starting a thread of your own with what you need in the subject title, thanks for trying to hijack my 5 pages of pure glory, haha noob!
just found this build and wanted to say good fab work so far. and looking forward for more updates on what you have done. your truck is going to be a bullet with that little supra in it. oh ya i like that red with black strip rendering looks more like a sport truck then a custom hot rod. but that's my .02 worth.
