I will give you the same advice I gave Dennis, your body color detail will get swallowed up down in the engine bay. Go with something brighter. Maybe do a bright blue (since you mentioned blue) and do some accents in the Gray.

smashingchuck · 02-21-2010, 10:31 AM

When you put the new flat pieces on the inside of the bedside how did you attach them at the top? (I know there are welded but are the just laid on top of the flange the turns down on the inside and plug weded, butted up to it or did you put them behind it)

**N2TRUX** · 02-21-2010, 12:41 PM

Very nice work. It looks like its going to be a super clean truck.

54Caddy · 02-21-2010, 03:44 PM

draggin86 · 02-21-2010, 04:03 PM

54Caddy · 02-21-2010, 04:51 PM

dang you get down man much props. Your backhalfs look real nice i want to do my truck but need to a little more research and try it on a donor frame other then on mine just to see if i can do it, your setups look good though man.

draggin86 · 02-21-2010, 05:46 PM

thanks man.. yeah just keep at it!

54Caddy · 02-21-2010, 06:48 PM

what are the advantages and disadvantages of a wishbone compare to a 4 link?

menace121978 · 02-21-2010, 07:59 PM

that is some sick stuff dude. looking at the pics on your iphone thingy just doesnt do your work justice bro. bad a$$ work for sure

Driveway Dreams · 02-21-2010, 09:34 PM

Looks like some very nice frame work. And not too much nonsense... I mean, they look good and functional. I hate when people put more unneeded tubes and stuff then they have functional ones. Simple is best on my eyes. Good work. Nice S4(?) there too.

draggin86 · 02-21-2010, 09:48 PM

oooh man nothing that i hate more is stupid bends everyplace you look! thanks everyone!!! Now if i can only find more time to work on my trucks!
