I'd like to hear the details of the hood. The cowl looks modified.

its modified, good eye 8O
It is actually a fiberglass corvette cowl, my dad and i cut a section out of the hood, tucked the cowl underneath, between the outter skin and the reenforcements. We then put it as close as we could to the windshield for the race look, then glassed the inside and outside. An old skool trick for an old skool truck.

the blue that was on it before was so cheap primer, whoever sprayed it was horrible, runs everywhere.

I'll try and get some pics over the bed, the front end. The suspension pics will be later cuz I gotta fix the 2-link, but when done def. get some pics up

still don't have the rear setup put in yet. but my opinion don't use a 2-link, go w/the 4-link. i'm usin a 4-link from suicidedoors.com, just gotta relocate the gas tank or do what i did and use a fuel cell. 2-links give you horrible pinion angle, it makes your rearend roll which it shouldn't. a 4-link keeps everythin inline, perfect pinion, etc. but its up to you....

well i was plannin on using a 2 link, but with longer links. probably like 3.5foot long links. the longer the link id on a 2 link system, the less the pinion angle is affected.
