Looking good. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Man. I didn't realize you had this project going already. Makes me wish i still lived in Napa so i could swing by

 

I wanted to have it done this month, but the sickness is in full effect all around me.
the babysitter has got it the worst, so ive been watching them for the past week.
not to mention its been raining since then too, I could have had it running by now!


I did find a set of group 31's in my last boat purchase, and there pretty damn new.
gotta hit it hard here soon, my goal is to get my hotrod done before the end of feb,
trying to make Fomoso in Bakersfeild for the march meet!

 

engine and trans are just about complete. a few things to work out.
and a wiring harness I cant find.
if you recognize what im missing please sound off, im confused.
its the 2 connectors pictured.

 

after I find one of my transmission lines, and modify my passenger side battery mount
to allow me to bolt the overflow to, im ready to fire this thing off.
got oil pressure, buss test sounded ok, and put some fuel in it, it should be a runner!

 

I hope when I hit forty I decide to hit it hard and get some s#@t done!

You are animal!

 

its never too early to start! gotta stop hitting those bars everynight. lol

 

As in raise the bar so that I don't hit my head when I walk in the door...

 

IDIoit... so if you weren't hitting the bars when you were younger, what were you hitting? The pipe? I'm looking at all those amazing, out of this world paintings plastering the walls of your shop... and I think before you got into PSD, you were into some serious LSD.

Care to share more about your murals? They are quite interesting. And that is a compliment, because it takes a lot to distract a reader from your blisteringly quick and boldly courageous fab work.

 

LSD, I still love it today! but its been quite a few years since Ive dropped.
yes I have been hitting the weed pipe since highschool too.
LOL
ive had my adventures, and now all I wanna do is build hotrods, customs, muscle cars, soon as my trucks are finished.
but even with my vices, I have always got my 10.25 into the shop to create something.


I have no artistic skill besides fabrication, I built a 57 chevy for a good friend that's also a tattoo artist, , and this is one of the benefits I got.
all done in spray can. I love it, especially my fridge. (youll have to do some digging in this thread, I believe there are a few)


I still hit the bar from time to time, but not like when I was 20 lol

 

AND ITS A RUNNER!!!!
idm throwin codes,
swapped it with one I had
runs great, minus the fact I got a bad ignition switch.
will address that tomorrow, along with installing driveshafts!

 

don't know that im digging the dually.


I don't really need a dually. but that's the way I was tryin to go...
I may just find a set of single axles for this thing.

 

A short bed dually is rare. A six door short bed dually is double rare. If you are posting the mock up on a public forum to solicit opinions... I like the dually. It balances out a very long cab. And if that cab gets full, the combo of people and the weight of the extended frame steel, sheetmetal cab addition, seat, and associated hardware, glass etc... may bring your vehicle weight high enough to exceed the tire capacity of SRW without going with a different tire and wheel.

 

I post in public for suggestions, and to show people this type of work isn't all that hard.
I hope to motivate people to not be afraid of doing custom machines, because that's all they are is machines.
I don't know which way im going to go with this, think im gonna wait until I get the camper shell on and look at it outside.


supprisingly I don't think ive added much,
my 87 weighed in at about 8500, and with the 6 door added and the custom bronco bed, I now weigh in right under 9200

 

I dig it... Looks like the megacab dually.
OT.. Where/$$ for the extended driveshaft? My center support is shot and been thinking about having a one piece made
