hope things are going okay so far! is your brother still overseas? good luck for him!!

 

update? lol!

 

Bump

 

hey nam still no updates... more like downgrades

i finally gave my buddy his 18's back, so now it's sitting on my 79 sr5 wheels.. but with the supra brakes i had to remove all the calipers just to bolt them up, and they won't roll.. it's just sitting there lookin like some forgotten chop top old school truck now...



but i have been lookin for a taco being parted out.. i'd like to get a frontend on it.

 

It's still a badass truck man get workin on it

 

Booo, LOL j/k

 

you need to chop the camper to match that would be sexy bernie.

 

i get all your projects mixed up! haha

 

lol, thanks grant! that's exactly what my neighbor said. he said it reminds him of the minis he used to see in the 90's..

but i'm planning on selling it to slam_dat_sun over on bodydrop.org. he's buildin an oldschool bulletside datsun.

 

Haha i love that build, I love the mk3 suspension, Love the lowness, and i love the 2jz sticking out of where the hood would be. Itbs would be totally sick on that thing with the itbs up in the air or all to see.

 

yea thats gonna be a BEAST ass ride!

 

X2 on that. That truck is f-ing sweeeet!

 

had to re-read it all to catch back up .. lookin' awesome brutha' ..

DRAGGIN DOORS IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

so we literally haven't touched this truck in over a year. yesterday me and my bro talked about what we should do with this project. his senior year of high school, as well as the military kept him pretty busy for the last year. he said he wants to continue on and get this thing running and driving... so today we decided to take a couple hours and work on it. we made a tailgate skin, and we're going to contact the previous owner about getting the boyd rims that were on it before. also going to be getting more metal to finish off the bed, build new floors, and i'm starting to design a new full frame for the truck including rack and pinion and custom a arms like my hilux. here's some cell pics since my camera is broken.















tomorrow he's planning on getting all the surface rust off the tubing, and we'll most likely prime the tube after that.. lol

 

Im glad this build is back in motion. Truck is sick already, I can't wait to see it moving!

 

x2

 

lol, not sure thats pretty far from here

we will be picking up a couple sheets of 16 gauge cold rolled steel on monday (assuming they have it in stock). next weekend is a truck show, so i'll be busy, but my bro is coming out sunday night and will be sheet metaling the bed during the week

 

sweet. when you do the new frame you going to keep the independent sup. in the back?

 

yeah keepin the i.r.s., but i want to go 2x3 under the cab, with round tube in the rear. i think i will look a little smoother, and i gotta but my bender to work so it earns it's keep lol
