Sat pics (11-1) Downtown Dallas & a couple Tattoos
 

My brother in law was in town after being out at sea for the last seven months with the US NAVY. He's been over in the gulf and who knows where else. He had enough nautical miles in for a couple of traditional tattoos so we drove down to Dallas to get him some ink. It rained like the devil the whole way there. The artist he went to has a shop located in the old downtown section that looked really cool. I tryed to squeeze off a few shots while we were waiting on him. I hope ya like em.

We've also been working on getting the 54 back on the road as well.

Ran some brake lines.

Mounted this super huge trans cooler we had lying around.

This car is supposed to be Anti-bling but it was cheaper to buy aluminum pulleys than it was to buy steel.

Time to check the front clip for suspension clearance issues.

Thanks man. This pickup has a 3.5"/6" drop. It's all Early Classic Enterprises parts. I used 2.5" drop spindle along with a 1" drop coil on the front. Out back are 6" drop coils combined with a super track bar and shock relocators and their extreme drop trailing arm crossmember as well.

More trimming.

Looking good Asa! I'll bet your lovely bride is itching to cruise it.The pics as always are great.

Re: Sat pics (11-1) Downtown Dallas & a couple Tattoos
 

The '54 is looking nice!

Re: Sat pics (11-1) Downtown Dallas & a couple Tattoos
 

Sweet 54' what are you gonna do with the back??

Re: Sat pics (11-1) Downtown Dallas & a couple Tattoos
 

Thanks! The back half is getting a Gambino customs step notch and a triangulated 4 link.

I felt the truck pics this time were less than stellar. The conditions were very poor with kinda a slight hazy fog in the air. Not to mention I usually use a tripod in low light and I didn't have one. Due to these being kinda fuzzy I think they work well with a bit of tinting. I may try to fiddle with a couple more of em later.

The '54 is coming right along!

Nice ink by the way!

Debi has been running ink since 1977 and really knows the craft. My brother in law was more than pleased with his old school/new school ink. Christy was extremely happy with hers as well. I wasn't going to tell her she couldn't get any ink (I know better :lol:) but I wasn't going to just let anyone work on her.
