Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I know this is a little off the truck deal, but I figured I'd show you guys a little of what I've been doing. It will give you an idea of what I'm building and how I'm going about it. Here's a pic of the chassis with the back tire mocked up (it's 24" tall)
 ans another with me standing by it at ride height (I'm 5' 10-11")  and to show how the finished welding came out  This is my first attempt at building something of this magnitude and I think it looks pretty cool so far! And for those who are into this stuff, YES I've worn out the rule book making sure I've covered EVERYTHING!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Your chassis is looking amazing. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see it continue to come together.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I striped up the guitar for an auction deal and then spent the rest of the day running around Orange County with him. I left and totally spaced getting pics!

Dag gone it. I just knew you'd have some pics. But I'll let you slide this time around.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
OK I've ready your build before but I just saw the stuff about Chip Foose so now I just have to go back through the build again. It's always a good thing to do to get re-inspired.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Awesome that Foose would jump on it like that. Good to see after all the fame, he'll still jump in.
Thanks for the update on the car, I've been wondering how it was going, in between sessions heckling Alex from the cheap seats. Glad you're doing well and making progress. Looks like fun!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Love the stance of your truck.. I was wondering if you could give me some measurements from a few spots I could reference. Maybe from the ground to the top of the wheel openings or to the bottom edge of the running board front and rear. Also how does the height work out for you any issues with daily driving. Thanks for all the great tips and tricks you have shared.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Yo 33, thanks for the kind words! Here's a good profile shot, just so you can see the rake pretty well.
 Center height of front fender opening is 21" and rear is 20 1/4"! Tire size is 28" rear and front is around 23 1/2". As far as driving, the bumper is the only real issue (occasionally hit bottom of front fenders on speed bumps) as the bumper hangs out a ways. Makes driveways a bit of a challenge but hey, that's part of having a slammed truck. Everything I've ever built has been slammed and my deal is, if its not hitting somewhere it's not low enough!

Saw your truck at the Grand National Show on Saturday.
You must have been out and about as you weren't with it. Looking real nice. Kim |

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Bradm I really like your truck just as it is. But if you ever get a wild hair about painting it I hope you put it back to root beer brown. I know that was hot in the 60's and 70's but I think it's coming back.

Don't worry Dan I'm not painting the truck, it's way too much fun not having to worry about it!
