Swagger Build thread

[Strokersace]

You sir are an artist. Amazing work you are doing. I've really enjoyed watching this one develop, even if low isn't really my thing. Even from when you 1st got the truck back on FTE, you've had a cronicle of all the steps. Super kool.

Keep on keepin on.

finally got the 4 main bed mounts built
did the front passengers side first by reaching it threw the stack hole in the bed

pic taken under the truck looking tword the cab after tacking in place

measured out the drivers side front but couldnt get under the truck to install it
so on the the back
first i built a cross member under the bed welded that to the bed floor
then the uprights were made and welded onto the frame

pic taken from under the truck looking out the tailgate

the i vice gripped the bed to the cab on the drivers front corner and aired it up

Wow this thread gets better and better

 

[JMart]

so sweet.

 

[samoht517]

The bumper actually looks really good on there

I like the work you have put into this. I do think that a roll pan would look better on the back tho.

 

[rat49f6]

I'm pretty sure a roll pan wouldn't last post the first drag session

The fabrication master that you are, I'm sure you could make something solid that would be just a tiny bit below the bottom of the roll pan so that it'd drag before the roll pan would. I do like the bumper on there but also think a smooth rear would look cool too.

Man this a awsome project, nice work!

 

[Snake]

Truly impressed. Can't wait for more progress pics.....

 

[rat49f6]

I kinda feel like a super duty with a,roll pan and this low would look like one of those fat chicks that some how have a completely flat a$$

bumper definitely. Good work.

 

[Viking]

What if you put an off raod rear bumper on it? something simple with no lights or hooks or foot holes, something different.

 

[rat49f6]

sorry but no

 

[Tonka350]

I vote rollpan on this, I love the progress you're making man it looks awesome! what are your total colors and did you decide on a wheel yet?

A roll pan would look sick on this truck but I see what your saying about dragging it.

 

[rat49f6]

i looked at it again last night and i think at some point ill order a metal roll pan and see which i like the look of more

as for wheels looks like Kmc Rockstars in Kawi green this season

in the future
i want the bonspeed "Intense"
ill have them color forged in green with black lip

I like the idea of the bumper, specially to have the chance at catching people off guard before it gets laid out and makes sparks fly.

can't say it enough times though, Awesome work and really looking forward to the finished product.
