I'm jonesin' for some updates!!!

To be honest life has been insaine for me and have been super stressed out. Been working a ton of hours and have been drained...any energy I have had left I have spent with my little girl. But I am missing working on my truck and being on the forum. So I'm back at it!!! Some small updates nothing special lol

Thank you for the heads up!! My next task is getting this baby moving under its own power so I will be looking into this ...great idea thanks again!

Thanks Don for the push j have needed it I def miss my cyber truck friends lol. Not to much to post but here you go....

Had a newbie installation error that had me kind of down, was rushing around when I put my front upper arms on....I reversed them and had no idea
Wasn't going to post this up but mistakes happen and hopefully this helps someone to not make the same mistake
I had it together the right way all during mock up and all the metal surgeries but I was rushing around trying to get this thing back home and get back to work....bosses weren't happy with all my stuff everywhere that week
Well anyway I was stumped when I would air out my truck it always had a neg camber but now when I aired out the wheels would camber in and toe in majorly and was looking at things and said maybe if I switched my uppers around it would bring the wheels forward and fix my issue....well it worked especially since that's how they are supposed to be
So long story short I had an extra set of upper arms blasted the replacement for pass side and notched the proper arm for the drivers side
Came out better this time too and I gave myself a little extra clearance so I can drive extra low and still steer properly.....in a parking lot.




Have to get ready for hell I mean work will post up some more later glad to be back at it! Like the rest of you I love working on my truck and getting lost in the dream of building it!

Any updates ?

[Jmorales3181]

Thank you to my loyal followers. Time to get back at it been super stressed out lately. Just started a new job this past Monday making good money, so my goal of cruising this spring will be a little more obtainable. Plus now a couple of fiends are now bagging their truck so it is motivating me to get going. No major progress just a couple things I've done and plan on doing. Pulled the motor and trans going through them going to clean everything up and paint it properly and put all new gaskets. While the motors out pulling cab cleaning up firewall... Oh yeah just picked up a new toy( had to return old welder to old job), jamming my doors jams. Run all my new lines through frame and then bolt everything back together. Joined the tubbed inner fender crew still have to finish my tubs. It's late and have to fall back asleep and get up for work but felt like updating my thread.
Couple shots with her outside withe the new front bumper before I pulled everything back apart.....again
