[quote=timmytimm3;6029334]Coming along! As for setting that pic as your avatar, you need to resize it to what ever the forum allows.

If you are running windows, google for "windows image resizer powertoy" and download that. Then you can just right-click on the image and resize it to what ever you want, and save.[/QUOTE
Thanks man... I tried it but my pics are too big still

I actually want them to still flex a little so I don't rip my trailing arm crossmember instead. Too late now already blasted them and started priming them up lol.

So as mentioned before now that I have a welder I want to weld everything lol so I hit a few spots and then got carried away rewelded the bottom of my back half. The welder I originally was using was using was running off a generator and was limited.... In my new area I have good power and get some halfway decent looking welds down so I am cleaning things up a bit for peace of mind.....





My father in law came by yesterday morning and picked up my trailing arms and blasted them for me and were waiting for me when I got home.... He's a good man I help him any chance I can



I smoothed them out a bit



Woke up a bit early and hit em with some etch primer before work

When I use the resize, it creates another picture and adds (custom) to the name. Make sure you upload the correct one.

The forum says "120 by 120 pixels or 34.2 KB (whichever is smaller)"

If you chose 120x120 and it still won't let you, maybe try 80x80 or 60x60?

[McMurphy]

Wow J, you are really moving along now !!
I need to practice on some heavier iron, so I can get my welds looking like that!

Keep up the good work bud, makes me not want to go to work today, but stay home and get stuff done on my build

Thanks McMurphy means a lot being a beginner in the fabbing department lol. things are about to get kicked up a notch. I often wish i could clone myself so i can send the clone to work and stay home and work on my truckMy boss gave me the ok to bring bring my chassis to work so I can tear it down for the last time and blast prime and paint it next week just hope it comes out as nice as I have it planned out in my head.

Couple more for ya....almost got done with the other side before dinner them gonna go finish up after dinner...

Ours frames look the same!!!
Love it!!
I'll paint it some time next year.

[Jmorales3181]

Well went at it hard last night finished welding the bottom and said the is no turning back now...kind of a step back but rewelded everything!






Then I threw the suspension back together so I can turn the truck around tonight and throw the motor in one last time to check for fitment now that I have the cab home
...and then it is on I feel like this has been taking me forever can't wait to be past this part





Hopefully my next posts won't be so boring lol

looking good, it always helps to reweld it if you think you should! that way you dont have to worry about it later, say to yourself "i know i should have welded that"!!

[timmytimm3]

Looks good man! Did you fab those notches or buy them pre-cut?

I just got a shipping notification for some steering parts from Porterbuilt. Getting anxious...

Thank you. Yeah that's pretty much what i was thinking. Disintegrating way to paint it and wish I finished things differently

Got a little bit done tonight. Sliced up my last crossbrace up to make some brackets for a new one.



And with the help of a friend pushed the truck out and turned it around and was able to get the motor and trans mounted back in and to my surprise everything seems to fit just fine...pretty happy I won't have to use the high hump.

Well had a busy weekend doing family stuff again. No real progress just pretty much cleaned out most of my junk out of my old bay. And did some more driving lessons with my little one lol. She seems to have the hang of it!

Then she wanted to go in the garage and see daddy's cool truck...
After cleaning a bit she wanted to drive the truck too so I let her take it for a spin lol!

[Jmorales3181]

And placed the box on my new made bed Dollie....
Can't wait to bring the truck to work this week, should be an interesting week to finally see 6 months of dragging my a$$ on my frame work. This is my first project like this so I am making things as perfect as possible.

progress is looking good man!! are you gonna run a panhard bar or watts link? im gonna end up changing mine over to a watts link i think.. i wasnt happy with how much it moves out of center while the suspension travels

[McMurphy]

You know Jmo, once you get your truck back on the road you are going to have a hard time keeping your little girl out of it...

And, once she gets her license, it is going to be impossible !!

Hahahahahahaha good luck with that one !
