ill try to answer a few questions for you guys,the mirrors are from billet specialities and mount to the one piece window corner with two screws, just had to drill a couple holes. I got the mirrors from jegs. The 76 crossmember was put under the truck to get the disc brakes and 5 lug pattern, ill get the truck on the road and get some wear on it then maybe do a freshining up with some flames or??? the car is a 2000 328ci, wish it was a m3. Any more questions ill be happy to help, i want to thank everyone on the board for the answers to the questions i have asked and am going to ask in the future, there is no way i could have got the truck as far as it is without everyones help, now whos going to come over and finish it??????

ckenwright · 12-29-2003, 06:05 PM

That truck looks awesome! If you don't put ghost flames on it don't put anything on it at all.

*67Fleetsidedream* · 12-29-2003, 06:53 PM

Very nice stance. Looks great!!!!

Primed67 · 12-29-2003, 07:17 PM

Your truck looks awesome!! What color silver is that if you don't mind me asking?

Mrs72shadetree · 12-29-2003, 07:36 PM

**1971Stepside** · 12-29-2003, 11:46 PM

Looks sweet wages. The only way it could be nicer is if it were red and a stepside!! LOL

Now push that thing back in the garage and go do some sandblasting......please.....

NPilot1975 · 12-30-2003, 02:03 AM

Do you have any pix of the rear suspension and the inside of the bed?

bigbluthng · 12-30-2003, 02:24 AM

is that tranny a 4L80e? looks larger than a 700. also you used the crossmember with the a-arms and spindles from the 76? any "custom" holes you had to drill to get it in?

TonyM · 12-30-2003, 02:58 AM

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!!! Leave it the way it is!!!!

boraxman · 12-30-2003, 03:07 AM

Very nice, guess you didnt lose all your wages

lost wages · 12-30-2003, 03:42 AM

thanks for all the props, i have now put about 200 square feet of sound deadining in the cab and got the front bumper on and the rest of the lights in place, im going to start running wire soon. The paint is SIKKENS dodge viper silver, its really pretty in the sun, really bright. I do have a few pics of the suspension. For the 76 xmember i had to enlarge a few holes in the frame but other than that its simple. The transmission is a th400, no over drive for me, i figure it will be a pleasure vehicle so i also have 4:11 gears. might not be good on the highway but it should be fun between the street lights. The hood is a goodmark cowl hood, ill just say we made it fit, it turned out really good as far as body lines go but the process wasnt pretty. I think i got all the questions answered, i wish i had my air bag valves set up so i could play a little, im still lifting it with shop air.

dinnut · 12-30-2003, 04:05 AM

what wiring you gonna run? painless? ive hear they are the best...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2003, 04:14 AM

Lost wage's do the rear wheel tub's still fit with the 20 wheel/tire combo when aired out???

lost wages · 12-30-2003, 05:46 AM

i do have a painless harness that is going in, and no, im going to have to build some kind of wheel tubs for it, that pic above is with the 15 inch wheels and bumpstops on the axle, the 20s are a little taller so im not sure what im going to do for that yet, its aways down the road so no biggie.

MellowYellow70 · 12-30-2003, 02:06 PM

I like the way you've edged the cutout for the rear, nice subtle touch. How much more offset are the 20's as compared to the 15's for bedside clearnace?
