Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Found these pics on Billet Specialties Facebook page.

Look at the sweet "Ride Height" of a Dropmember equipped truck,...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Hey Keith does Hazel have the factory soft ray tint? I can't tell if it's that or just the interior color reflecting onto the glass in the pic

Do you remember what brand and radius you used?

I just got done trying to use the same method to build my exhaust, but I am really disappointed in how it came out. I used Dynomax 3-1/2" radius bends, and the bent section was pretty distorted. So it didn't match up well with the straight sections. It'll be ok for my "driver" build, but I'd like to have a better plan for future projects.

Thanks!

There we go. Thank you for that, I'll put it in my notes. Just by looking at your completed system there is a clear difference between the stuff you used and what i used.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

What color are you going to paint it ?? kidding ..

My favorite truck, no doubt. It has been my wallpaper for months. You deserve it Keith. Would would have ever thought an old truck with faded paint would have turned out like that. Absolutely incredible. That truck has so much character.
