Now I see why the rear end wasn't narrowed.... Big flares

 

:d


.

 

so a little bit more cutting



also .. interior is now completely gutted ..



anyone need some good floor boards ?


.

 

nice work Slacker!
as for the front end to fit, what's holding you back with the larger wider wheels? you may need to just run a bit of camber (2*?) or so.

 

yep .. i'm now going to stay with the fatties .. I may back space the rims an inch or so when I buy my new ones .. but I have decided to stay with the coilovers insted of the airride ... I'm looking at a body drop , just for the extra inch or so though

also ..

my first bend with my new bender
2" OD Sced 40 120 wall



It's actually going to be my bend tool .. so I'm going to try out my powder coating as well with powdercoating it and saving it



I have to still "draw" up my tube work in my solidworks software so stay tuned .. STOKED !!


.

 

added some rear suspension today ..
not done yet , still some tube to add , but the rear is off the jack stands










.

 

WOW!! nice work man, that truck is going to be crazy when its dun.

 

this is a type of build i wish i could perform on my 82 . I love this build and looking forward to the finished product.

 

thanks fellas ..
crazy is a factor in this build !!


.

 

This is insanly cool. Wish I could have gotten ahold of that Supra before you gutted and sold it. I love Supra's

 

I totally need you to make me a frame for my truck! i want to go to coilovers so bad but not enough money and do not have the knowhow

 

thanks fellas .. and chicken , my thought on this was to get good used parts , you must have a good doner .. car was delivered to me via a 2000 mi trip then I drove it for another couple of weeks .. so now I KNOW I have good parts to work with and for me to buy the parts I will be using one at a time , would be WAYYY more then the purchace of the car . + I was able to sell the shell for a "race car body" .. i'm way ahead doing it this way .
but .. yeah .. it was a nice car

and Matt .. I could do that , but keep an eye on the build , maybe you might pick something up


.

 

found some time today , so I finally cut the floor out for the body drop





.

 

prepping the inner rockers for the new body mounts .. I of course found rust .. so now I have to fix that first .. I was really surprised , this cab was in awesome shape no rust at all , or so I thought .. just goes to show you , even if you think you have no rust .. you probabally do !!

undercoating wire wheeled off , and looking great



and cut out rust !!




.

 

1 side done .. and ready




.

 

Wow im loving it bro. Keep up the good work.

 

also got the drivers side cleand and prepped this weekend



and .. drivers side has rust as well



I think to be safe , i'm going to cut it all out .. front and back rocker area , and strengthin both sides before I build the body mounts
and just for some giggles ..
heres the pile of removed edging and ground steel ..




.

 

So excited this build is back on...

 

^^^ me too

 

Me three.
