ya its a cervini hood i got it for free. canadian tire did a safety on another truck i had they didn't latch my hood. and it can lose smashing my stock hood,fenders, windsheild, and roof. plus they didn't even look at my truck the just signed it off as safe. so i told the supervisor i was going to get a lawer and sue them. in the end i got the hood and 5000$ for keeping my mouth shut. and the truck they safetyed was worth 250$. lol after that two weeks later a drunk hit my truck one night when i was sleeping. the insurance gave me 2000$ for the truck. and i got to keep it. then i bought this one.

thanx for the great comments guys am get really motitvated. my plans are to have the frame and suspension done this year.

dragsdaily · 07-02-2007, 08:30 PM

got the rear frame holes all filled

s&*( i missed one.

tat2dmthrfckr · 07-03-2007, 01:05 PM

hey looking good, ur gettin there. nice work.

dragsdaily · 07-07-2007, 10:06 PM

well not really an update on the truck. but i finally got some shelter for the truck. i pick this up at a warehouse sale. but the box was messed up. So they couldn't send it to a store. i stole it 250$ cash. they go for around 600-750$ new. its 12'x20' so all i need to do is make a base for it to sit on.

blazerlow · 07-08-2007, 12:36 AM

Nice!

sadexcuse4s10 · 07-08-2007, 12:42 AM

hell yeah man, those things make great paint booths

dragsdaily · 08-15-2007, 03:30 PM

well i quit my job and starting my new job on monday. So on my last day i redid my lift bars. the shocks will be mounted on the top of the lift bars.

old bars, shocks mounted under the bar.

new style i think it looks much cleaner. (there upside down

) i tig welded the whole brace. And there's no warpage

. and i even through on some cheapass black spraybomb

bladehines · 08-15-2007, 03:49 PM

looks good man, keep a coming with the pics and progress!

blazerlow · 08-15-2007, 08:02 PM

good work, keep it up

RacerXS10 · 08-15-2007, 08:25 PM

Word of advise on that "cover it garage" make sure you keep the legs in close together. I have 3 of those things and after a while the legs can sink into the ground or shift. Then the zipper doors get stretched apart and the zippers break or you go to zip then and it splits apart.

Good luck on the project, i'm digging the "shaved" frame.

02s10350 · 08-15-2007, 08:30 PM

CHRIS!!! lol bars looks sweet.. why didn't you tell me

lol oh well.. hey u think there is any way we can make a drag bar b4 truck natz? lol

dagreenmonster · 08-15-2007, 08:56 PM

lookin good chris

2 LayLo · 08-15-2007, 09:43 PM

looking great

dragsdaily · 08-17-2007, 11:41 PM

thanks for the great comments. i back from my very short vacation. so hopefully i can get soom work done this weekend. but tonight i moved the prota garage to the drive way (it just fits thank god).

so know i just have to figure out what i am going to do for the front. i really really want upper and lower control arms. but can't aford them

and i am only running about 25" tire up front. so i might try to build my own. or i'll sell my motorcycle or trade

i am not sure yet.

02s10350 · 08-18-2007, 11:13 AM

hey if i can get you one lower control arm to copy off of to build will you build me a lower set aswell?

dragsdaily · 08-19-2007, 04:24 PM

well i got my prota garage setup with the truck in it. but it rained today and the floor get wet but it beats working in the rain.

and oh man that looks 150% better.

tat2dmthrfckr · 08-21-2007, 01:43 AM

Progress is looking really good chris. Those lower rear brs look very sweet. Glad to you are getting to work on it some.

blackblazer717 · 08-21-2007, 07:30 PM

coming along nice, i remember when this thread started!
LUKE

dragsdaily · 08-21-2007, 08:47 PM

thanks for the great comments guys. as for the bed iam got to BD it then build a one off frame and sheet metel floor and walls. then DUMP BED. i wasn't going to tell any body i going to use air shocks to lift the bed. i don't know if this is a original idea but i going to give it a shot.
