Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Great build, I'm subscribing!! Love the homemade front control arms! I've wondered if it was possible to build them instead of buying a pair and I just may try it now. Can't wait for updates! (with pics)

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Thanks , it's just 18 gauge paint lock sheet metal that I ran through a bead roller.....it took forever to bead roll, and it made all the pieces bow real bad.....that's why you can see the cylinder heads in the back, and they didn't weigh enough to push the pieces flat.....I had to stand on them while I tacked them down.....it sucked and the floor still isn't truly flat.....

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
On a side note, check out my build to view the work on my tailgate!
Pretty amazing how well a good epoxy primer can work for you! My tailgate looks better than new, I am sure of it!

I wish my tailgate was in as good of shape as yours....it's twisted like yours was, but mine is bowed in (towards the cab) by at least a half inch, top and bottom.....I'm going to try and straighten it using a pickup (or a school bus, if I have to ) and a bottle jack.....we'll see what happens.....

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Oh, and here's some pics of one of the things keeping me from working on my truck....(you can just see my bike in the background.....I still need to take some good pics of it to post up )
My buddies '27 Ford pickup (started as a sedan )....all's I did was build the engine and put a shift kit in the tranny (200r4). These are all right after we put the engine and tranny in the car.....

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Oh, and one other thing....there is only one of the factory holes on the frame that is in the right location, so trying to get the angle right on the box lined up right is very difficult.....
