Baggin The Truck! (Sub Boxes and Tail Lights)

Yea we do but its kinda messed up for a certain age group. See we learned the metric system in school (and on an printed measurement) but in shop class everything was inperial. Then if you got into a trade after high school everyone who you worked with was older and taught inperial in school. So our schooling is metric and our "experience" is imperial. I can pretty much do both like alot of other people my age but I can see imperial slowly fading out with the younger generation.

here i will sell you this one CID

they tried for a brief period to teach us the metric system when i was in grade school. i can't say it caught on with me. i can remember that one inch is roughly 2.5 cm.... ha ha..

1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 yard = 0.9144 m
1 gallon = 3.7854 litres
1 mile = 1.6 km

Its really messed up when you have plans in metric and your using imperial.

Looks pretty good so far.

I use both measrement systems too, just depends what I'm workin on,

Good progress so far guys keep it goin,

So today I got started on the front end and I hope before the weekend I am almost done with the front but we have some painting to do before the front will be all buttoned up so here are some pics.


Here I removed the sway bar.


Here I cut out the mount for the shock and for the sway bar.


Here I cut off the top of the shock tower for clearance.

here I have cut out all the bumpstops and leveled out everything on the lower control arm and before any one says some thing yes I am going to clean up the frame more.I still have more to cut anyways.


I even got to take the bolt out of the torsion bar I figure by tomorrow I will have it all out or may be leave it hanging so Cid can throw sparks.HAHAHAHA.

Well I will get some more pics up tomorrow if I can get the swelling down on my leg.I was removing the spindle and the tie rod end was stuck so I was hitting it to lossen it and smashed my leg so now I got a big egg on the lower part of my leg but thats all part of building toys.

Looking great lance, can't wait for next weekend . Hopefully we can get a lot done to her.

Also I picked up a set of nice tail lights which are going to be doubled up in the bottom corners of the rollpan. I think these are going to look amazing with everything fully shaved.

holy pictures lance,my dialup just tried to fart and it ended up being a green apple splatter explosion. No need for me to see pics,I've seen the work and it is lookin mint.

Dale's truck is going to be so sick when it's all done. I can't wait to get started on mine. Maybe if I buy that Nissan,we can get started sooner rather than later

Sunday was a hella fun day out. I'm feelin pretty toasty now. I smell like bacon....unless that's just Ms Piggy's sloppy seconds. LOL
