its nice to see someone keep the lowriding scene alive.
im from san diego home of the lowrider and you bairly see it here now

Since I can remember I have always had a passion for lowriders. This truck will redefine that for me. It's a trend people come and go with it. Maybe it will start back up again.

The steering geometry was the hardest part of this whole thing. If your rack isn't in the right spot your toe will change with suspension travel thus never getting a proper wheel alignment. It really kicked my arse. I'm using a rack from a 2000 ford Taurus. With 2000 ford ranger outer tie rods. " there fatter". Almost all steering **** is interchangeable. It's crazy.

[QUOTE=hydrojunkie;5897066]I really didn't think anyone was into it so I stopped posting.
I got tons done. Been hammering away everyday at it. I want to drive it bad. I will upload pics.
Definatley dont stop posting. Just cause there isnt alot of comments doesnt mean no one is following. When you do great work like that its hard to say anything but "WOW". Keep up the hard work

The exhaust will be all stainless. I'm using v band clamp to be able to disassemble it and for cleanliness.

Very impressive!

OTIS HURTS · 02-21-2013, 01:43 PM

What the wheel brand and size?

RatRod68 · 02-21-2013, 03:23 PM

Amazing build. After seeing yours and leons, I'm really debating the z notch and the rear crossmember setup. What did you do with your old frame?

Also, are you leaving it a LWB?

AusTx68 · 02-21-2013, 04:35 PM

I gotta see how this turns out...I'm following you

vegadesign · 02-21-2013, 08:32 PM

BTW, san diego lowrider scene is not gone. Just go to NastyCity. El Cajon has some, but very few. San Yasidro(sp?) has some old school bomber style getups.

If you get the chance, go up to Escondido on a friday night. Every friday night during the spring-fall, they have a cruise in. We used to go every week. Here in a couple years, Nasty will be "gracing" the san diego roadways.

Don't get me wrong. The z notch is a great way to go but if you want a rack and pinion it will be a challenge to do.
Then if you want to lay rockers you will need to either do a sub frame, or a floor bed mod.

I messed up and forgot to do the sub frame. I'm a dumb O. Lol

What do you consider layed out. The only time you z the front is to lay frame evenly and or body dropped.
I assume your gonna have air suspension in it?
