then sell it to Martha Stewart!;):eek: just kiddin'. What a great deal. Just get it done in time for the kid to drive. Its tough having a kid on the way while trying to build a car. Our first is due in June and its already SLOOOOW goin on my build. Best of luck on it. Good start.:D

WHERE YOU AT IN TX? theres some great build threads on ruffrodders. not only are the cars cool, but just AWESOME build threads. Heres some of my favorites: http://ruffrodders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38111 http://ruffrodders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37435...

these are BEEFY and fairly cheap. http://www.eztbucket.com/Radius_Rods.html 'tap tubing' is 3-4 bucks a ft from lefthanderchassis. If you have the time,skills, and tools, make em. Don't forget if ya fawk em up your possibly a dead man.

Stole this one from a friend: For those that might need a 'stand-alone'(not engine driven) compressor that put out BIG air.... Will run air tools no problem. Airs up tires in seconds. Airbags? No problem. Puts out more air than a 3hp 20gal. shop compressor, and that's with NO TANK! Has been...

Thanks for all the help everyone!! Havent figured that one out yet.:p

looks awesome! where did ya get those brackets to bolt onto the leafspring axle- mounts??

cant push up from the inside. its steel. :) when I get the flat paint off the roof maybe I'll try a plunger/suction cup.

here it is as of oct. I got rid of the red...now the hood is bare metal. I want to strip off all the paint and wipe it down w/ GIBBS and just leave it bare metal. [/URL][/IMG]

I have a 61 apache. The top has a pretty big dent in it like somebody pushed it in or sat on it.:confused: My ?? is whats the best way to get it out? Looks like it would 'pop' out , if ya know what i mean. Its not that big of an issue on this ol beater, but I'd like to get it out and dont...

If you are not hellbent on building them, I saw some yesterday on ebay for 25 bucks. Cut off an A frame. And you DO know they make new frame horns? They are about 50$ a pair. Making them is always more satisfying though... :)

Never give up. Figure out how much (little) $$ you can put aside each week to save for the car. Every little bit adds up. Every time I eat ramen, drink water instead of soda or beer, or dont go out to see a movie or whatever, I can ad that $$ I saved to the 'car fund'. Learn how to make it...

I found 2 of those early Toy boxes locally for 20 bucks. Waitin' for the guy to reply so I can go get them.

Any solid front axle 4x4 Toyota(Not IFS). That means like 79 to early 85--then they went to IFS and you would have a box like the other ones in that pic. 4x4 guys toss those boxes in the trash. Ive tossed a few. The IFS boxes are desireable to them when swapping to "crossover steering". I bet...

what was the problem you had? Seems like power steering would be easy. I think the rotation of an early Toyota 4x4 box is correct(if i remember correctly). And you could even cut off and re-use the ball and socket end off of the pitman and draglink... But why complicate things w/ PS I guess.:D...

did ya try to contact that guy? hmmm...hes just a few miles away from me...

that dash would be BAD!:D your making some good progress.:eek:

what about the lenght of the links on a truck? Offroad...well, long and flat was always a good start. But whats ok for the street? Is 2 ft. too short? or should I shoot for longer........??

nice work! Its coming along real well. Nice and clean.

Yea, it all looks the same to me.:confused: The links seem kind of thin/weak to me too. SD does offer some beefier stuff. FBI has that stupid club discount thing going on..I was thinking 'good deal' till I realized what was up w/ that.

Thanks PK. I appreciate it.:)
