Re: Project '86

Im sure its about the same as he had his OE crossmember cut up to raise the lowers and narrow the track width. This does look cleaner though.

Hope to make it to turkey drag and check this bad beotch out in person. Again, awesome work man.

Re: Project '86

Hopefully I'll get to see it this weekend. Been driving down there the last 3 weeks since mom passed.

I'll let you know before hand though so you can bring me the other crossmember.

Re: Project '86

This is a great build that I just stumbled on. I love your attention to detail and your mad metal skillz. Just wish I hadn't missed the show and the chance to visit w/other believers. I know that some time has passed but I will say my prayers for Bob's wife and kids.
Keep up the great work on the truck and maybe one I'll get to see it 1st hand at a local event.
