Tiny,
Not to worry, my wife tells me all the time I have lost my mind. The only other thing I can do besides agree with her, is give her a kiss on the cheek and remind her who I married...

Chop looks great! Seats look hard.

The chop looks great Tiny. I have a stack of those seats out back if you need to make a bench as opposed to those buckets.

The profile looks wicked !! What a difference a little chop makes in a rod. I also like the headers the way they fit too.

That truck is definatly moving quick.
I like the front suspension you are using, what year was that out of?
I can't remember what year my old Ford truck was that used the same suspension. I have been comptemplating this very same setup for a build.
I see someone has beat me to bringing it forward.
I have a solid Chevy heavy I-beam axle that is going to get whacked in the center and made into an old school IFS unit. It will pivot in the center with the single mono spring and some coil overs. Also, on your R&P setup, is there actually enough extension on the ends to give you the full turning range of the rack? It seems like there is going to be a limited range.
Just curious on the actual turning radius of the rack. Keep up the great work. Maximo

Thanks ... The front end came out of a 1970 1/2ton ford truck. The turning range seems to be real close to what the truck was before we cut out the I Beam. It's about full round of the wheel from lock to lock.

And I thought we were the only ones crazy enough to spend hours just looking at something we have done. When ever we do some modification we go to all different spots in the shop and look at it from that perspective, Dan will say, "hey Dad, look at it from over here."
Yep, we hot rodders are nuts for sure.
