Got the paint on it today . Not the best day to paint outside because of the wind and a little cool about 70 was the high but it turned out pretty good. Some wet sanding and buffing to get out trash and a few bugs and some runs here and there.Next is to paint a gunmetal grey stripe down the side and over the middle of the hood ImageImageImageImageImageImage

I think it's safe to say you know how to make them hook up. Nice trucks.

i have a 79 that we are putting together it has a fab 9 inch ford rear end,6 point cage, 5 lug front rotors,we moved the frame in about a 2 inches on each side to get a 10 inch rim on the back.Many other things.


Not to get in your buisness cause i can tell you have worked on a couple of these , but in the first picture it appears you have to much shock shaft showing . If you move those to straight up and down with only about 1 inch of compression and all the rest in extension the shock wont top out and upseting the chassis . Mine worked good , but would top out and spin when they topped out .

Yea those shocks were some we had laying around. I have some adjustable ones that i am going to move to the back of the housing and stand them up straight and down. That seems to work the best for me.I have more trouble trying to keep the trucks from poping wheelies than spinning
