I'd heard of these
Dagmar bumpers
Postwar Cadillacs began sporting missile pointed bumper elements with their 1946 models. Beginning with the 1951 models, stylists began lifting these bumper guards up into the grille work, however by 1953 their shape and detail began to take on a bullet motif with the tips of the element being scored in the manner in which a bullet casing is shaped

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

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

I am on it, I am about 95% done with our move now and ready to get this frame done !

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

back to your normal scheduled program .... I got the Scott's Hot Rods rear panhard bar mounted last night and then started mocking up the front torsion sway bar !

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

Stout looking pieces, Mike. That sway bay is something else too - very cool piece.

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

I am very impressed with the quality / thickness and overall look (the way they machine the ends) and that they are actual threaded links bars.. TOP NOTCH...and that front torsion sway bar is just the cat's meowwww!

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

Glad to see your back at it!

BTW, you can move all you want but one day I will eventually find you and get to see Cloud 9 in person.

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

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

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

Cool Stuff. Love it that they are still AMERICAN made.

Me too !

thanks man
thank you
was going to do 22x12's but there is only 1 tire that will work on them so I am going to do 22x10's with 4 inch backspace

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

last nights progress, smoothed out the power steering mounts, and made boxing plates for the inside

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

Slick! Have you thought of running the sway bar through the framerail, instead of below?

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

that is exactly what I am doing..you nailed it !

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

we also picked up our first tow pig...need something to get Square Peg to SEMA ! 1999, 2wd, 454, 5 spd

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

Square Pig! :lol:

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

LOL...Square Pig pulling Square Peg...dig it !

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

been following this slowly and surely, first comment I'm amazed at the work your able to do, I can't wait to see the finished product! Cloud 9 is speechless! Everytime I get on the site I see your truck, and I drool a little bit, awesome work!!

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

WOW, thanks man, I appreciate that !

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

you do fine work man, just admiring it! :metal:

Love the slosh tubz!! Awesome idea!!

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

I thought Square peg was going to be the tow vehicle for Cloud 9? Did priorities change when you decided to make the ride height 6 inches off the ground? :)

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

LOL...ride height is 4 inches...6 is full lift !

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

My bad :lol: I think that answers my question too, though. I imagine you'd be dragging something serious with a trailer hooked up behind.

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

Lower the tow vehicle!

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

LOL...yep
will probably do a 4/6 static drop

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

^ Couldnt think of a better way!

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

yep...that's pretty AWESOME !

Anyone junking a square body frame ? I could use a set of the forward cab mounts off the frame ??

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

thats dragnasty hes the instigator of the lowered dually scene and of the 22,5 inch truck rims that he machined down a little so 22 inch car tires would fit around them
i have a set of those rims from the former owner of dragnasty
going that low with those rims on an old style chevy you need to cut out the inner fenders part of the firewall and remove the original heater , looks cool though

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

Chassis is looking killer Mike! Nice tow vehicle too, how long is the trailer to fit peg and cloud 9?;)

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

LOL...I don't have a trailer yet ,we have a single car trailer at my work that my boss lets me borrow for the moment, trailer will be my next purchase, maybe next year !

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

trailer needs to be draggin too. :lol:

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

got it welded in last night ....stay tuned pics coming soon ! I love how it looks going though the frame !
