    Think I got the last of the tubes in the rear and the rear bumper done. The interwebs told me the bumpstops would rip out of the frame so ran two tubes down that the bump can will weld to the back of.

    Few other gusset tubes and some side pieces around the tire to give it a more complete look and a rear bumper. A 37 should sit just inside of it. It’s kicked up about 8*IMG_0120.jpg IMG_0117.jpg IMG_0124.jpg IMG_0140.jpg IMG_0143.jpg IMG_0146.jpg IMG_0150.jpg IMG_0153.jpg IMG_0148.jpg IMG_0155.jpg

    Welded out the rear of the truck the best I could. I’m hoping when the body comes off I can roll it on the sides to do the bottoms instead of laying on my back. Got everything capped and got the radius tube gussets I want in on the back and front and got the ones for in the cab cut but I’ll wait till I weld all that out. And then milled the wilwood calipers ears to center the rotor.IMG_0162.jpg IMG_0163.jpg IMG_0159.jpg IMG_0164.jpg IMG_0167.jpg IMG_0166.jpg IMG_0219.jpg

    this bolt got cut shorter after the picture

    I’ve seen a few different ones. I have two engine stands so maybe if I can make one with two plates bolted to the stands and some tube tacd from plates to the front and rear bumper I’ll do it. I imagine the car will be pretty heavy for that though and don’t want to spend a ton of time trying to make something
