intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Ive been lurking on here for a while and finally decided to sign up and start posting some pics.. i bought this truck bout 4 months ago and havent taken too many progress pics.. but hopefully since i got a forum to post some pics on ill do a better job of getting pics along the way.
this is my first build so be easy on me... i used to be into hondas but i got tired of dumping tons of money in something then it still not being worth **** when i got done.. i didnt get any pics when i very first got the truck but u guys know what these things look like stock here it is after pulling out the springs and wipeing it down with some old motor oil http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4715/truck3a.jpg http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/3143/truck1x.jpg here it is with my dog posted up http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/5...ckandguin2.jpg bout to get started on the rear air ride http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2070/truck11.jpg http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/6284/truck21.jpg http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8263/truck31.jpg http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/4196/truck4dt.jpg http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7403/truck6o.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3048/truck5c.jpg i got lazy for a while and didnt get any pics trough the progress so it skips a lil bit rear almost done... still gotta build a panhard bar and mount the shocks then pull apart and paint the truck is jacked up in the front so it makes the frame look weird in these pics anyway still havent decided if im gonna make my own crossmember for the rear or just buy the porterbuilt also do u guys think i need to box in my trailing arms now since the weight is gonna be in the middle of them? http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6835/dsc0117hw.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8261/dsc0118nh.jpg http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/408/dsc0116ve.jpg smc 1/2 valves.. just front to back for now. 2 viair 480c compressors and 5 gallon tank http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/8532/dsc0119mo.jpg http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5857/dsc0120ck.jpg now i got it jacked up and started pulling out the front suspension.. gonna pull teh motor and front clip pretty soon.. im getting a 454 tomorow and i already have a th350.. o ya i got a chrome bumper to http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/6871/dsc0113jy.jpg got alot of work to do under here http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/318/dsc0115vt.jpg so thats where im at right now.. let me know what u think |

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
sweet project i like it, and X2 on the dropmember lol, thats why i did the spindles and cupped lower a arms. how did you do that (make them look a little cartooney) with the pics, that is pretty cool???

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
just playing around with fill light feature in photoshop . along with contrast and shadows and highlights
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
no problem, you gonna cup the lower a arms, it will help get the front end lower??
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Killer shop and great start kat welcome!!nice job on the photos too
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
i dig your project as well. what camera are you using. i just got a dslr and am playing around with it.
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Sweet ride. Lotsa cool trucks turning up around here lately.
Any idea how long it takes to completely fill your tank? I have 1 480 and a 5 gallon tank and am contemplating adding a second compressor. |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Way COOL!!!
|
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Can't wait to see more pics of this one.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
thanx guys!! those compressors fill the tank from 0 - 200 psi in just a lil over 5 mins
and from 165-200 in 1 min 15 sec or something like that btw i got the front clip off and my new big block.. ill get some pics up later |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. 200 PSI and 1/2" valves should pop that thing up pretty fast. I actually had to step down to a 165 PSI switch because mine was too fast for me to make subtle adjustments for the horrible roads here in northern Ohio, and I am only using 3/8" valves.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Truck looks badass so far! Love the pictures! Get some pictures of the front after the Spindles are installed. I have a 66 Long Fleet as well and will be bagging soon. Thanks!
P.S. What size tires are you running??? Do you happen to know how wide your stock steelies are, 6 or 7" width? |
Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
:hi: and :welcoem: Awesome job so far. Nice picture taking as well.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Very nice. Do you enhance the pictures with some kinda photoshop? or is it just the lens? I think I need a new camera. Good eye.:ito: Whats the cc of the bike? I need to build one.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
