Tacomavirus build

So after lots of creeping on the site I figured I’d sign up and post some build progress of my
2004 sas/resto build, works been shut down last couple months so been picking away at this.
It was in sad shape to start and needed tons of parts torn off so
What better excuse than to go solid!
Hope to get some help and feedback
Thanks in advance
Will post more pics

 

Gonna be sick as tits

 

I like where this is headed...

 

Hope to be finishing up bulk of welding soon. Starting to figure out order of operation for painting the frame.
Was looking at Eastwood products for that seems like a three step process to get it good.
Couple little hiccups but mostly just trial and error.
Any ideas on frame coating?
Has to be diy friendly

 

Your shop looks like it is more of a woodshop. Dual purpose shop? Like where your build is headed.

Sweet can’t wait to see this thing come along

 

Eastwood rust encapsulator plus. Seems like some serious stuff on my frame.

 

Good thing auto grease is heavier than sawdust. Keep your blades sharp. Look forward to seeing your updates

 

Got tires mounted (temporarily)
Checking for steering box and drag link
Clearance.
And then welding up frame support and box mount.
One little step at a time

 

have you considered raising the tank while you're at this point? (I have a kit for that)

 

Details on this kit you have? How much does it raise the tank?

 

2", even with the bottom of the frame. - starts with post 31 here.

 

Totally mad scientist.....I dig it!!
