Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

I need to go back and check my measurements again. I measured 93" from the center of front bed mount to the rear edge of the frame on my longbed and 75" on a shortbed frame at the junkyard. Of course there is 5" diff behind the rear shackle bracket between the two also.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

There is 14in difference in a long bed and short bed, i measured exactly 14 out and put the brackets there and the wheel is centered nicely.

Now i cut about 18in off the back after i moved everything but the actual rear end movement is 14in.

I cut out 13" of the frame today.

There is 5" that has to come out behind the rear shackle bracket, so that would add up to 18".

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Yeah my Uncle Jimmy, the boat race,r used the saran wrap to do this to one of his regular lake boats with a dark burgundy color and lots of metal flake. Looks wicked in the light!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Did you use plastic wrap and wad it up on the wet paint then remove it real quick? I tried a marble effect on some rc car bodies doing it that way. It was kinda a pain cause on the rc bodies they are lexan and you have to paint the inside of them and paint the colors and pattern in reverse to get the layers right. The tank looks awesome.
