Parts Came In, All Courtesy Klean Kustoms



RE-7's up front, RE-8's in back, might go with hard lines, havent decided yet.



Triangulated 4-Link, All Super Pivot Rod Ends



30 Degrees of Unrestricted Motion

So I didnt like how the frame was coming out and how fuk*** huge the notch was so I tore the rails back apart and lengthed the lower section, chopped down the notch and shortened the upper rail. I got everything squared up and in place were I want it, now its onto the 4-Link this weekend.



Who Needs an E-Brake

LOOKS GOOD. MY BUDDY WANTS TO SFBD HIS SONOMA WHEN HE GETS ABCK FROM IRAQ.

Looks good, Keep us posted on your progress!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I'll keep postin the pictures as I continue to make progress. Should hopefully get some decent progress this weekend

I am loving it, cannot wait to see the cab back on. Love the progress.

Lookin good bro. Why did you go with re-8's in the rear? And correct me if im wrong, but when runnin the bags on the bars (like it looks like your going to do)doesn't one end of the link have to have a poly bushing, so the bar doesn't roll? Just tryin to learn something here. Never the less badass, i was going to get an 84 Madzda like that for $400. But the dude never came through.
