Kewel.....looks great.

[shortbed70]

Not much new to report kind of taking a brake during the holidays but I did get one fender ready for paint and a new tool. Heres the pics.

[protrash64]

Why did you waste your money on that?? Looks like you were doing a great job without it!!

The color is killer.

[shortbed70]

THANKS LOL Well I had to make some pieces at work for a friend and they dont really like me doing that so I figured if I have it at home I can make whatever whenever... I'm going to buy a tig sooner or later and make my own fuel cell and I can finish my fan shroud. Need something made????

[shortbed70]

Wow I just noticed how long its been since Ive done anything on my truck. I did remove the rear suspension to figure out bag placement and ordered two more bags so they are coming soon. Heres a few from a couple weeks ago. I have the notches made I just have to cut the frame and weld in.

Cool color and nice sheet metal brake.

[shortbed70]

Thanks guys I need to get off my but and get somthing done tomarrow so I'll have more pics. The color is just a photo shop of the actual color it's actually black right now. You know I am trying to get the frame done now but the dang weather won't cooperate
with me this morning it was snowing wth! So tomarrow I will cut the notches and try to get them welded in and come up with some way to mount the bags alittle furred forward on the lower arms.

[shortbed70]

Heres some from friday night. Modifing the lowers for re7 bags.

[shortbed70]

Heres the notches I made welded in. I still have to come up with a bump stop for them.

[shortbed70]

[shortbed70]

[Alan's Classic]

I don't know how to bag a truck, but it looks like good progress.
