BFA's "Back From The Grave" Resurrection build

Just my .02.... I would get some bottle jacks or a Porta-power from someone and jack your roof back u on your truck... Its a wheelin' zombie killin machine... Jack it up enough to get a windshield back in it... Flat or Simi-gloss black it with Rustoleum.... Get it in a gallon and stray the truck with a paint gun.....

 

yeahhh... cause i love destroying my truck and dragging it home on a flat bed and put a shitload of time and money into it when its going to be 115 outside soon because thats my hobby...

shit happens dude

 

how did you flip it?

 

i was going to fast

 

I didn't read the whole thread to see if you were able to buy it back, but if you were, I'd rebuild the front suspension, cut the roof off, and put a nice cage on it and call it the weekend toy.

 

what i would do....

body-chop top, cage with removable soft top.

front- remove all body panels, replace with fiberglass, arb bumper. then sas. locker

back- linked with c.o.'s. locker

 

Can't wait to see your truck back on the road. Rock that 1st Gen!!

 

So here's a decent start, there's the broken knuckle held up with a coathanger to keep the stress off the abs line but you can see the damage.. I've begun pulling all the bend shit off you can see how bad my door is potato chipped and I got the hood fender and grill off and I took out the seats and I'm going to begin stripping the interior soon

 

That Rebuild Is Gonna Take Lots Of 12oz. Happy Pills! Haha

 

some inspiration (chopped top not paint haha)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QFa5HucDn0

 

Brian,

I only wish you the absolute best on this build and glad you didn't get hurt in the accident.

You've got a great thread going on here and I will be watching it very closely.....

Good Luck !!!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the support and don't worry we will se this on the road again!

Its a good idea.... but I just don't dig it, I think it looks goofy.. I've only seen a few vehicles like this that I liked and I'm sure I can build one but its not my vision of my truck and this is also my daily driver and I deal with the heat enough I don't need to ride around in it

Thanks mate! Stay tuned

 

So you're not gonna do the soft top? Un-sub'd! haha jk, man.

 

Is it wrong that this video kinda made me mad? I get the sense the guy has no idea what anything on his truck does, he just knows the parts he paid for. I mean cmon, "I got an ipod stereo, I think its a ...yeah its an alpine" and describing the parts, his description sounds like he is reading the info from the manufacturer's website. I like the truck, but the owner kinda annoys me...

 

He's also a member of TW....

 

Yeah, he sounds like kind of a doucher. Judging by the view of his garage, he doesn't do any of his own work. My would be bro-in-law will tell you what "he's" done to his 8" lift, 37" tire, body color everything cummins 2500 even though he'll also admit it was all done by shops.

 

I think its better to do everything yourself so you can take pride in the outcome of your truck

 

Yeah!

 

Here's the underside of the roof of my truck


And here's a better view.. intense.


And no interior.


All in a hard days work

 

Really.....this fucking guy with the video needs to drive this truck. Its not a ferrari and it doesn't need to be babied.....like wtf dude
