dirdydogrc, thank you, I really love these fenders.
If you want nice fenders at a fair price, Stylin&profilin (John) sell's these on the board.
He is a great guy to do buiseness with...I know i'm pleased

OK everyone, I thought I was in for a good cry
I was taking the body off the frame tonight, and I dropped the body...I can't repeat what all I said, but Cindy new I very upset

Well I looked the body over, and I lucked out, everything is good.

I worked on installing the servo's, putting the tranny in, and made a rear crossmember to mount the bumper to.
And I decided to go ahead and use the FGD frame rails you've seen it sitting on.
So here are a few pic's...I'm putting the body back until final assembly...just to be safe.







I feel like i'm a little closer, and thanx for looking.

Let me tell you that I might have made a sailor blush lol.
I have the body sitting in a spare bedroom so it can't be disturbed

Well everyone I was thinking about some drive tires for the rear axles on the truck.
Well I got eight tires from some spares that I had, charged my dremel, put the cutting wheel on, and proceeded.
Well after about two and a quarter tires the dremel started to lose power...
a light bulb went off in my head, I got the ol' hacksaw out, and I got them all done. In fact, the saw did a better job. I don't remember who the member is, but he is good at making different tread patterns for tires, and I got the idea from him...If you're the man who does this, please let me know. Or if anyone know's who it is, please tell me, it is driving me crazy not knowing.
Anyhoo, here is a pic of what I accomplished...it only took me about two and a half hours...my hands will be telling about this tommorow lol.



Thanx for looking, Big John

OK boy's and girl's, before I get into this new post, I have to tell you all I have a very evil wife LOL!!!
She pulled a fast one on me today. I got a package in the mail and my "loving wife" hid it from me.

Now if you're paying attention to the mailing label, you've probably figured out what's in the box.
ihbuilder (Steve) made me a bumper, and it everything and more than I had hoped for. This is a one of a kind bumper. I sent him a pic, told him what I wanted changed, and he hit the nail on the head.
Well here it is...and I know I said I wasn't going to put the cab back until final assembly, but I had to see what the "SLUMLORD" looked like with the new addition.







In Cindy's defense, i've pulled a lot tricks on her through the years...so I guess I kinda deserved it.

Thanx for looking, Big John

I think it was silvio (skl1cent) who was cutting tyres like that

[Snowman]

Now that's what I'm talking about!! Yeah now it really looks the part with the bumper, amazing how one detail transforms the look. It just fits in perfectly with the whole look, custom paint, frame stretch, big pipes. Nice work Steve!

Thanx Snowman for the complinents.
I'll tell you when I saw a pic of the bumper, I new pic's wouldn't do it justice.

And I almost had another set of rails made shorter. I'm happy I changed my mind.
I'm getting closer
I just sent russisloud a pm on his simulated air ride suspension...aaahhh yes, it's coming together

Thanx again, Big John

[ihbuilder]

Steve, my bad, I went right to photobucket and deleted the pic...I was so excited about the bumper, I wasn't paying attention. But SWAGGER sent me a pm, and pointed it out to me. I apoligize, I will be extra carful in the future.
