Awright! Peg's gonna have a brain!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

if there offering to do it for a reduced price they might plan on doing the frame in the slow hours that means if work picks up you have to wait on the frame indeffinetely
agree on a timeframe and pay on delivery within that time or not at all , if they make it in time to put the body on sell youre frame if not continue to finish building using youre frame thats the only way to keep youre build going

i also stole some pointers from Jlaird on this underdash brake set up !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 

Ok, here's something I've always wondered about that setup. It's awesome not to have the booster or M/C on the firewall but....how do you refill it and once you figure that out, how do you keep from under of over filling it? The radio, a/c ducts and wiring are all gonna be right there.

Inquiring minds want to know. :lol:
