Alan EQ sure does look good. Is it just me, or does it have a body lift? Also a little surprised that you have an 88-98 GM truck hood as a sign for your shop. Hehehe. Keep up the good work. And yeah sometimes it is painful being a nice guy.

It's not a body lift. I put a ladder frame on top of the factory frame. (making the frame 20" thick.) I actually took the spacers out, so the body is bolted down to the frame.

I have a Chevy hood as a sign because I don't want to waste a perfectly good Ford hood as a sign. I finally found a good use for Chevy stuff. ......shop art!

Rich. That guys tires are the same size as the ones I took off. Skinny tires turn easier than 4' wide ones. I've been talking to some guys about it. I'll get it straightened out.

Ok Alan. I thought you'd do something much better than a body lift. I just wasn't sure what I was seeing there. Hope I didn't offend. I hear ya on the wall art and not wantin to waste a Ford hood. Just hope it didn't cost too much hard earned money.

The hood was free from a parted out truck and I used left over paint. It cost me a total of $40 to have the vinyl cut. Not bad for a cool shop sign.

No worries on offending me. I have thicker skin than that.
