Luv #2

Picked this pile up for $400, drove it home. Needs a clutch BADLY. Slips so bad you can put the truck in gear, let off the clutch and it won't die or move :lol: . Cranked the torsion bars down on the front, ordered a clutch kit and some lowering blocks. Needs a lot of general maintanance, and some wiring help. Will slowly get it sanded down and throw some paint at it

My theory is that merely had too much to drink the night before, and is simply dehydrated. What do you think got him? :eugeek


More updates

I was grinding some brackets, I turn around, and this cupcake has appeared out of nowhere. Fawkin magic!

Got some more done on the truck

Haven't done a lot with the truck. I started on the rear tube work, and started cutting the front fenders for the dove nose. Also decided to go spring over

Been helping this idiot put his Toyota together

Image

Rear tube, not sure what behind this is going to look like

First cut on the fender

Been working on some other stuff for a while. Getting back to working on this thing, but decided to clean up the stall first. Rolled it outside for it's first breath of fresh air in a while. Front suspension is at full compression, rear is about two inches away

Started mounting the fuel cell. Radiator is also going to end up back here somewhere

Start of the fuel cell straps, will have these finished and on tomorrow night after work.

Thanks, not really any idea yet, once I start hanging bedsides on it I'm sure I'll figure something out. The nose is in the process of being narrowed

Radiator is mounted. I'm going to shove a artec quart crate between it and the fuel cell, then a couple of batteries are going to be mounted right behind the cab.
