Do the crown vic swap up front. and an explorer rear axle. You'll end up with 4 wheel discs, good steering and a smooth ride.

Need some advice. I literally have 9.5 lbs of sh@# stuffed in my 5 lbs of garage. Wich means that I now have too roll my unfinished chassis out to bring the cab in to replace the floorboards. I have to to this in order to set the body on the chassis to get some measurements that I didnt get the...

Got a little done today. Picked up a tubing notcher, and started on the rear, gonna work my way forward.

Ok I lifted one corner of the frame until the other corner started to lift and measured it 6.75 ish. Im gonna repeat this procedure once the frame if welded and ready for the body, and again once the cage gets tied in.

LOL! SAM, I have the frame up on the "jig" to start the finish welding and the words were echoing in my head[S. So for for reference I did some frame twist/flex measuring. Mind you I have removed some crossmembers and will be adding more and a cage in the big scheme of things[;). It looks like...

Well parts for the plasma cutter came today. I guess the "hassle free" warranty means EASTWOOD sends you parts to fix your own **** with out a hassle. Gotta go hustle a couple jobs so I can buy some parts for this heap. Updates coming soon. Matt

Ugh, just when I was getting rolling!!! Ive used this thing a handful of times since I bought it new in Jan. Called 3 times today with no reply from EASTWOOD's tech department. I will see what the resolution is and how long it takes before I start bitchin' :mad:

Bruce you sir are right. I got something cookin for the bed and dont really want to cover it up. The tailgate is easliy one of the heaviest peices on the truck, so its going on a diet as well as getting some holes in it. Im just trying to figure it out so it dosent look like it got attacked by a...

Thanx Blue, This truck is just gonna be a little 10 sec street truck. Small block with a lil spray ;) The frame needs to stay stock, except for the c in the back. The classes that I might run say stock suspension, and frame rails. I think the spoiler and bed cover would take away from the look...

Got a bit done today, getting the Crown Vis swap buttoned up.

Sorry guys there wasnt much 'forward progress' lol. Took the body off stripped the suspension, and took the frame to the sandblaster. So now I'm back at square one. gonna start finishing up some welding. Got some bars to bend and slide through the frame that will take the place of a couple...

Sorry guys! Not much progress, body is off. Frame is headed to the sandblaster. Got a couple new ideas for some things that were undecided before, more on that later. Once the frame is back I have some welding to knock out and this thing can start going back together, FOR GOOD. L8R

Yes he was backing it in

You owe me a keyboard!

Saw this on the way to pick up some body parts for my truck. Looks like the start of something cool! [/IMG]

The crown vic deal is almost bolt in! im probably going over board with the way im gonna box it bit thats just me.

Heres the plan. Leave the body alone, reapairing or replacing only what is needed for structure or is unseen. Update steering suspension and brakes. Reinforce frame to handle some horsepower, and help the suspension to work. Do this without making it undriveable. Go enuff yappin heres some pics...

Just a tease, gonna start a build thread soon!

Awesome! Bookmarked!

Wow! Awesome stuff!!!!
