I fvcking love it, this is easily my favorite of all the builds you have had on here.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-01-2009, 08:41 PM

thanks man!

trimmed the pocket up front cause the bag barely touched it, plus i can run my hardline out the back of the pocket now.

bedmounts..

it sees some sunlight!!! lol

BudRacing · 11-01-2009, 11:55 PM

Praise the Lowered.

layinlow88 · 11-02-2009, 12:07 AM

STILL not done?!? You might as well give up, box it up, and ship it to me. Just sayin.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-02-2009, 12:10 AM

addy for shipment?

layinlow88 · 11-02-2009, 12:18 AM

You know what, I'll just make a trip down there. That way I can see a tear drop and laugh at you as I drive off.

Its comin along man. Keep up the good work. I say at least try to have it driveable by spring.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-02-2009, 12:21 AM

driveable by spring????? doubt it!

by the end of the month, it will be put in the shed, and i do not plan on spending even a penny on it for a while.. i want to save money till atleast march for a decent down payment on house.

im really in no huge hurry to get it on the road.. just taking my time, enjoying the build.

layinlow88 · 11-02-2009, 12:28 AM

thats weak.

Twisted Minis · 11-02-2009, 02:18 AM

Looks good man. I like it.

A word of advice, gained from experience.. Put some straps under that RCI tank. The tabs they use are not strong enough to support the weight of the fuel it can hold. So just put a strap underneath it to support it, even if the strap is removable. Just something for the center of the cell to sit on. I usually build mounts for them out of 1/4x2 strap. My friend had one of those and mounted it just by the tabs, and one sheared off and it let the sump hit the ground and tore a hole in it. Left us stranded in the down town district in an intersection. It was fun to explain to the cop.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-02-2009, 08:11 AM

haha, yeah man the cell mount isnt done. i dont have any flat plate or small tubing long enough to run under the cell yet.

foevanoutkast · 11-02-2009, 10:53 PM

I love the truck bro, im learning alot of stuff from reading your thread i still dont understand some of it but this is great stuff. Makes me wanna go find one, maybe once i get some money together and kill the wife...

nah, wont be able to. dads car will be in garage, and mom has made it perfectly clear that she doesnt want her car sitting outside. so i have no choice. but once his car is running, he said i can put luv back in garage and he will just park his anglia in the shed since he isnt gonna drive it daily. lmao.

but i dont see myself getting bored.. i should be doing alot of work/helping on dads car to keep busy.

yep! i think this is the only thing i have EVER worked on, and i dont think i have gotten mad at it once. making it how i want, things fitting like they should etc. i love it! may not be perfect, but its ok, im learning and im happy.

BUCKET · 11-07-2009, 12:59 AM

As the body sits now is as it shall be. Least I think.

Where u been all night working?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-07-2009, 07:46 AM

no, helped dad get his car in garage, put the bender together, ate dinner, took shower.. now im up for work!

BD_Roadster · 11-08-2009, 04:53 AM

Mike from Dallas Hot Rod Parts is building tubular uppers and lowers for the LUV's. My buddy Shawny B just got some done that accepts yota ball joints since he has a 300z IRS in it (same bolt pattern). Mike is building the arms for either coil overs or bags. good price too; i think 525 for a full set of uppers and lowers.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-08-2009, 07:47 AM

yeah ive emailed/called him before..

but i got mustang II front suspension so luv truck suspension is useless to me.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-11-2009, 10:23 PM

GET_LOW · 11-11-2009, 11:01 PM

Nice man!

Do you have a tube notcher?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-11-2009, 11:37 PM

my dad has bought one from a guy at work, but they haven't been leaving work at the same time so they havent been able to meet up so my dad can get it..

been using a porta band on the wishbone.

scootch · 11-12-2009, 12:06 AM

looks good doooooooood

GET_LOW · 11-12-2009, 12:15 AM

nice, tube notchers rock!

so whats next?

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-12-2009, 07:39 AM

weld all the wishbone up, all the brackets, weld in upper bag brackets, then im done with it for a while i think..

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 11-13-2009, 07:53 PM

lulz..

mrroller · 11-13-2009, 08:54 PM

yeah hers is a gt.. its pretty sweet.

rattled canned the wheels black to see if i like it.. and i do.. so i will eventually get the powdercoated. i painted them gloss, but i think id rather have a semi gloss..

primerdnoma · 11-14-2009, 03:07 PM

Ahhhh the machined look was so much nicer though...maybe it'll look better with center caps, all the lug nuts, and shiny tires though.

bnkrpt311 · 11-14-2009, 03:09 PM

just keeps getting better, the black wheels are perfect
