primed parts now in color pic soon to follow
then I will be taking a break from the truck to paint and repair, and install a body kit on a buddys 91 talon.
If there is any interest in that I can post the progress on that or I could post it on SSM.
Peace.

TaDaaa

Lots of work yet some things I can tweak yet too

thread post photo


almost layin but thats not what I was going for, I was hoping to have her safe as possible, if I lost tire and bag pressure I tried to plan it so I would nt go skidding along framerails into the ditch.

I can tweak the bag position

://i613.photobucket.com/albums/tt215/mazdan22/DSC01796.jpg

So I painted the back end , I still have to finish the whole frame though, painted the shocks black they were royal blue ugleee, I have a chrome 4 link to install as well with high end hiems, that will be done when she is finished, and I bought new premium grade upper ball joints, $60.00 each ouch,, but,.... if there is any doubt , there is no doubt.

needs to be plumbed, FBI will not return my emails I need my switch so bad!!!
I even orderd a second one first week in april , the other one I ordered 14 months ago

Thanx fer the encouragement and positive feedback I was beginnin to think I was alone, lol

Are you leaving the bag like that? Going to put alot of stress on it in the collapsed position.

I got my switch today!

Yeh bout that front bag, like i said some tweaking to do there.
I need more lift too.

Workin on a custom talon right now, hope to get the B back in the shop soon

I would take a page from Dale's (sleepyspeed) build on his front setup:

You can see in these pics how nicely the 'bag collapses on itself!!!

Granted you did say you were going to tweak your setup a bit, I think there is a bit more to it unfortunately...

okay , bet y'all thought I was dead , again......lol

So I spent a little over a month building the talon tsi previously mentioned.

I went on holidays fer almost a month, and now I am hip deep in renos, now here is the not so great news ,

the economy is kickin my ass and last year was rough as it was for my family with the baby and his problems, so I have to sell my house, I just finished the garage , collected some decent tools and now, I most likely will not get to finish my truck living here.
Gotta try to get another shop when I move to another place.

Though , there is something to be said for living simply and keeping the overhead costs down.
Living to work and die , is not the best plan anyways, I dont need the house I have , I just wanted it.
And then I wanted to add to it and on it went as things were good , but now the reality is very different.

So, unless it takes some time to sell the house and I have the renos caught up I may finish the paint at least and plumb the comp, tank , switchbox.

Cant find the camera right now, I'll post picks soon
