Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Hi what size and thickness of tubing did you use for the rear trailing arms? Where did you get the bushing for the front of it too??

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"
Well, here it is, my first update in quite awhile.....
I finally got my air tank finished up, still need to do brackets on the frame..... First, a reminder of what I started with: I welded the end caps on (mig with s/s wire) and made some plates out of 3/8" stainless plate for all my fittings, drilled pilot holes in the plates, welded them on, drilled and then tapped to 3/8" npt. Then made some mounting tabs, and welded those on too. You can still see the air fitting and plugs I put in it to leak check it....only had one small leak near one of the mounting brackets, easy fix ![]() More coming.......

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
Put a flush latch in the access door:
Push the raised button to release.... ....and how it's made from underneath, I've still got some cleaning up to do on the clearance notch ![]()
