Re: Project: Ginger
Usually as I start to get motivated,... something happens to slow me down.
I should have named this truck "Two Steps". Because everything is "2 steps forward,... and 3 steps backwards".

Re: Project: Ginger
Looking good. I have a odd ball question. I've noticed a few of these home made jack stands. Is that regular 2x4's with 3/4 plywood in between? thanks

I think the bottom layer has 2x6's. These are very handy. I stole the idea from n2billet!

Re: Project: Ginger
Grey centers are the only wheels I would run on this truck.
Awesome progress Keith. Looks good laid out on those 338's.

Re: Project: Ginger
How big do those go Matt?
I know Keith and I doubt this thing will run anything smaller than 20's.... ![]()

Edit: I googled 20 inch salt flats and found this site. There's not much info there or on the American Racing website, but maybe they can email something out. This site has 20X8 and 20 X9.5 http://www.hubcap-tire-wheel.com/Ame...al-Wheels.html

Re: Project: Ginger
Those are all good looking wheels. The only problem with them is the are not soft lip. The step lip makes the wheels look much smaller, and doesn't have the same visual impact. Trust me on this one...

Re: Project: Ginger
Nice clean project. I agree that without a booster on the master cylinder I find the brakes do quite well and alot cleaner. How much was that wilwood master cylinder worth??

Re: Project: Ginger
Made some small progress on Ginger.
I dug out my NOS core support and installed the LF fender,... finally. This fender had a nasty dent right on top of the bodyline and wheelwell. I wish I could say I was like n2billet,... but even with his expert advise,... I couldn't seem to get this dent worked out. So I took it to a "friend of a friend" who hammered it out for me. It's not perfect,... but it's 100 times better. The LF Slosh Tub got bolted in, after careful cutting and grinding. I also spent an hour or so trying to hammer out a dent in my original grille shell. It will be nice enough for a driver,... but I'll be using a new outer grille on this truck. Here's a couple pics of todays progress. (sorry for the crappy pics)
