I thought you already had a few of them. I know I have heard Nate say "here's your sign Keith" several times....

I got the jacket I just need the sign

You will only get this if you were around in the early 80's or so I've been told....

That's definitely a good one! I had hair (front & rear) waaaaaaaaaay past the mullet back in the 80's. I seem to recall having 2 friends that cut their pony-tails off but it didn't change their appearance by much. Remember them? Their buddy never did get his cut . . .... yet.

Nathan, I'm sure you're going to have a very hard time getting someone to volunteer to test this,

, sooooooo I'll take the bullet for the rest of the board and you can send me a kit and I'll make sure all this stuff works...................

Has anyone done a coilover setup with a dropmember? I like bags, but I want simple and good handling. Yes, I know you can make bagged trucks handle good, but I don't want to have to deal with switches, valves, tanks, compressors, and hoses. Pics or input would be nice.

Twisted Minis · 07-07-2009, 12:42 PM

That guy looks like the kid from Married With Children.

Here's a teaser pic... We have one currently being installed by a board member on a 71 Blazer.

Custom 68 · 07-07-2009, 04:19 PM

wow that is what i would like to do to mine, I really dont want super low as I drive this a fair amount but wanted better handling and that looks great!
maybe someday

basemodel67 · 07-07-2009, 04:30 PM

That is what I'm looking for! Is using R&P steering mandatory with that crossmember? I would kinda like to keep my manual box setup. Also, any experimenting with splined swaybars?

Rack and Pinion steering is mandatory. The DM's geometry is not compatible with the factory steering components. Manual racks are normally around $275, but I have seen some popping up lately for under $150 (and still a quality brand).

basemodel67 · 07-07-2009, 05:11 PM

I look forward to updates on how the coilover setup works and will plan on using it when available. Thanks for the fast response!

ratty 46 · 07-07-2009, 11:26 PM

Very innovative Nathan. The tube/coil over unit will be a big hit I'm sure. I'd even opt for that set up.

Very "pro-touring-esk" IMO.

since it was mentioned again I thought I would bring it to the top...
(that is for the coilover setup)

Fine-tuning the upper coil-over mount. Should have some update pics next week.

watahyahknow · 10-29-2009, 09:59 PM

nice work nathan

BIG KRIS · 10-30-2009, 02:22 AM

Is it possible that the coil over setup might be ready after the 1st of the year along with those trailering arms you told me about Nate?

ratty 46 · 10-30-2009, 05:10 PM

I've also got a question ....... lower tube A-arms for a 3500 GM .... do you build them? Say a mid to late 80's square??

Thanks.
