Thanks! I'm hoping the winter doesn't slow me down too much.

lol for sure, they work great for temps. are you going to paint your MMW arms or try to press out the ball joints to powder coat them.

You will love the Accuair set up, hands down the best set up ive ever used.

Well I was thinking of powder coating them, but now I'm actually thinking of painting them, so I won't need to press the ball joints out...we'll see. I can't wait to get the Accuair all setup, it looks so clean.

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember

I was able to assemble my eXo mount today, inside the house, where it was nice and warm! I won't be installing it on the frame for a bit, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to get it done now. My plan is to create a cradle right in back of the cab under the bed to mount it to.

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember

Well, finally another update. Work's been keeping me really busy lately, so this is the first weekend in a while I've been able to work on the truck. One thing that's changed other than the truck is the garage. I've been slowly cleaning it up and organizing everything, it was a mess before. Then my dad and I installed a nice little modine heater so I can actually work out in the garage during the winter. It works really well!

Today I worked on getting the rear rotors and calipers mounted. After I got everything installed, I brought my wheels up out of storage and mounted them up. I was pumped to see them on the frame. It definitely gave me more motivation to keep moving!

Re: 68 C10 Project FROSTBYTE Extreme Dropmember

Here's a little transformation picture of what the garage used to look like before I cleaned it up. Not sure how I found anything before!

Looking good Rick!

You know you won't need that garage heater or the snow blower if ya'll end up moving to Charleston?
