2001xBlazer · 10-17-2007, 07:18 PM

looking good fellas

AcidDrive · 10-17-2007, 09:00 PM

Looks awesome, i just have one concern but please stop me if im wrong.

This has to do with the where the front clip meets the floor of the frame. Isnt that a lot of stress to put on the frame at that point? I mean you're asking that weld to hold the weight of the wetire vehicle. Just wondering....

Looks good.

AVdime · 10-17-2007, 09:57 PM

Its gunna be a shame to cover all that hard work with sheetmetal

kevdog · 10-17-2007, 10:41 PM

Damn! BLF should start mass production of building frames for stock floor body drops! Awesome work! If I had bank to do it, I'd have you guys build me a frame!! Keep up the great work!!!

kaczarollision · 10-17-2007, 10:45 PM

i'd pay for it

kevdog · 10-17-2007, 10:47 PM

Wait a minute! You're gonna pay to have BLF build me a frame!?

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

AVdime · 10-17-2007, 11:23 PM

Richie has told me before he would build frames for people and let them do all the sheetmetal work and what not. They will build frame rails and other shit for people looking at doing back halfs

bdydrp18 · 10-18-2007, 10:01 AM

very very nice can't wait to see how it turns out

jman · 10-18-2007, 01:17 PM

that's awesome. is there gonna be some sort of centering device used (watt's link, panhard, etc...)

2ToneS10 · 10-18-2007, 02:43 PM

i think the wishbone style lower bars will keep it centered...am i right?

blazerida88 · 10-18-2007, 04:30 PM

damn that is ****ing sic

Draggin97 · 10-18-2007, 06:47 PM

clean work very bad ass.

AVdime · 10-18-2007, 09:18 PM

the link is still has triangulation no need for a pan hard or watts

tukn18s · 10-19-2007, 12:51 PM

Well.... since this is my project thread, and not just my bodydrop thread, I guess I can post all my updates. Just purchased the first piece of my audio setup. Alpine DVI-9990, PXI-H990 and the TMI-M990. For those that are not familiar, that is alpine F1 status! I have spoken to nickzigaitis, I will be getting a bezel made by him! For now thats about it for updates. I look to be taking the body to barely legal next week sometime, the frame is just about done ( as I am sure you've seen ). Things should start coming together sooooon.

****in awesome man

tukn18s · 10-19-2007, 11:24 PM

so just as an opinion. the truck will be painted just as it is in my avatar. For the interior, I will NOT be using any white, gets too dirty, how about black with some blue inserts on the seats, and then some of the plastic painted blue.

blazerida88 · 10-20-2007, 10:23 AM

do all black leather seats, paint the dash blue, and the door panels blue and black. and paint the console blue maybe cover the top with the black leather, but yea black and blue would look good imo

AVdime · 10-20-2007, 12:00 PM

i think black with some grey inserts would be tight, and then blue accents and glass work

tukn18s · 10-20-2007, 01:24 PM

these are my thoughts... black leather seats with black suede inserts. Cover the dash in some black suede, paint the bezel blue. Cover the sides of the console in black suede, paint the top blue. The pillars will be glassed to house my tweeters, cover them or paint them? I dont have a clue what I am going to do with the rear of the cab, I have to look at the tubs before any designing is done...Oh dont forget some new black carpet

2001xBlazer · 10-21-2007, 11:28 AM

I would glass your dash the same color you're painting the top...suede are any kind of fabric would fade from the sun id imagine

I could do that, but I dont want TOO much blue, I could glass it and paint it black, then paint the bezel blue...

wagonproject · 10-21-2007, 06:54 PM

Damn that is sweet!! You guys wanna do my truck next? lol

downtoearth · 10-21-2007, 10:01 PM

tukn18s · 10-21-2007, 10:11 PM

dman311w · 10-21-2007, 11:15 PM

Frame looks great. Nice work.

PS. I can't see alot of the pictures either. But I saw enough to get the jist of it.

AVdime · 10-21-2007, 11:28 PM

tukn18s · 10-22-2007, 12:03 AM

actually its because John, the owner, put a script in place that changes barely legals website to say sackthis.com, his own website. same general thing with all the video sites that come up with *****.

AVdime · 10-22-2007, 05:28 PM

yea but they were pictures from a photobucket. the only thing they had was a watermark inserted on the pictures. Why aint people allowed to talk about there products and post there pics?
