Re: Project...praise the lowered
i dont have any close ups but they are kind of like the porter built ones in a way.they were a real pain in the a$$ to make.i recommend maybe buying them from porterbuilt.it will save alot of hassle.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
well we finally had a warm sunny weekend and i spent the whole time opening and closing a hood.some how after a had everything mocked up back when i welded my fenders and cut my hood something got way out of whack.the hood on the passenger side was far from lining up the cowl,big gap at the passenger side fender and was a 1/4 inch too high.so after slotting the fire wall for the hinge bolts,cutting the cowl and dropping it down a bit,cutting the flat bar i used for the inner fender edge then bringing it up to match the hood i think i finally have it in place.also got the hood pins in place.what a pain.but im glad its over with.
forgot to mention we just found out were having a boy.a new hot rodder in the making.i cant wait to make a hotrod baby carriage.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
I really like the way you did that hood. Should get less air under it when you're doing triple digits at the big end of the strip?

Re: Project...praise the lowered
I missed that I think.....congrats! Kids are awesome, didn't realize so much as a dad but as a grandpa I'm now very aware...and my grandson is one of the main focuses of my life! So much so he's already been named as next owner of my truck! He's got to wait a few years tho
metal work looks great as usual. how will you open that up for service?

Re: Project...praise the lowered
so yesterday i had to do some adjusting to the way the box sits.when i welded it the heat drew the frame in some spots and it didnt sit level.then i was able to get the last 1x2 tubing installed close to the tail gate.i then made a couple corner gussets to tie it all in place.today at work i found some 18 ga 5x2 steel angle in the scrap pile.right away i knew it would be really close to what i needed for a roll pan.cut the legnth i needed brought it to the shop and it was exactly what i needed.so lucky.also installed a couple brackets for my compressor and air tank.then i moved on to the steering wheel.im having a hard time finding an adapter to fit the column.so i decided the time i have wasted in looking i could have made a custom wheel out of the stock one.so i started trimming the brackets for the air bag ect.i have tome cool ideas that should soon come together.not a bad day
