Sweet !!!

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

looks good so far. Not sure if your finished but I would box the frame right behind where the rear notch starts and also at the z where the rad. support is.

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

ya i might but there is not alot of weight right there and it is welded up really good so i dont know might not

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

at the very least triangulate it... don't leave it like that!

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

Are you open to advice?

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

i am to a curtain exist last time i put pictures on here people talked a bunch of crap on it and i took them off, my father and i have been doing welding frames for a while i am a professional body man so i have a little clue but i will listen to other peoples advice

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

That's why I asked... I don't want any "helpful input" to be taken in the wrong way.

Is the rear section completed? If not, what more will be done to strengthen it?

:cool:

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

If your gonna take some advise from anyone nate would be the guy to take it from. I am sure you posted these pics knowing that some would offer some advise to keep you safe. Btw where did you get the fools gold name?

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

ya i agree i know i dont mind people giving me advise just not dogging my work i will take everybodys advice, I really appreciate it all, the name Fools Gold is the trucks name, because like a piece of fools gold, the truck is going to look like its worth alot but its going to be a low budget deal so to make a long story short looks like it worth a bunch but its just another old truck sorry if that was really long

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

hey. have you thought about mounting the bags on the bars?? it looks likeyou have the room. just a thought.

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

i thought about it but its going to have to be a huge mount to make it not move and i really hate to weld a ugly bracket to them dont know yet the way im going to do it over axle is going to work really good

Re: Project "FOOLS GOLD"
 

I dont have all the answers, but I agree with Porter that you should rethink the rear..

i'm a big fan of this dude's set up:

you could take yours more in this direction and know that it's done, right!

:but: it is low though :cong:
