well i got more work done on this thing not as much as i wanted to since i runned out of welding wire it always seems to happen right when you into getting stuff done i was gonna start welding my axle and all the brackets but insted i pretty much finished the back half part of the frame and i decide to cap my notch/bridge and i know no one is gonna see it under the bed so it may just a waist of time but i felt like doing it anyway here are some pics....
sorry for not updating thisd thing last week no reason really just being lazy

[luifer76]

after doing some measuring i had to bring up the bowtie a couple inches so it can clear the axle while the truck was laid out and i got it all welded up from the bottom really good and i also welded the air tank brackets and i mounted it between the notch and the gas tank here is the idea....

[luifer76]

and since it started raining i deciced to work on cleaning the engine and taking all the old paint off to get it all painted i had to take all the accesories off and pulleys to paint the blue parts and it took a little longer but on the end i was glad i did... here are some pics before and after the paint

[made2drag]

looks good, what kind of blue paint is that? is it spray or brush and what kind?

[luifer76]

thanks bro.... paint is nothing expensive is Rustoleum paint $9 a quart you can get the quarts to brush it or the spray cans i used spray cans for the pulleys but brushed it on the frame....

[luifer76]

ok so moving forward with this build i made some mounting brackets for my viair compressors i used an old compressor for measurements and to drill the mounting holes an added some support brackets from under so they can hold im gonna weld them on the side of the frame here are some pics .....

[luifer76]

i also finished welding my axle changed the gear oil and i put in new brake shoes i hate drum brakes lol and i got the axle all painted here are more pics...

[made2drag]
