still looking for my original pics of when i bought it but we will start off with when i had just cut the coils and pulled the load leafs.

and yes those are 14" bolt on wires! lol

next i bagged the front and lowered the rear by monoleaf

then threw some 100 spoke player knock offs

then started to install my 5 link, notch, and in between moving from 2 different places.

then got it back to my new house

and then started to relocate all air management parts to under the bed (mounted on the frame)

Then i tore it all down to paint it with POR-15

gotta have a few beers while under construction

and nex up my first big show!

thats pretty much whats out here, but there are some collage kids out here with a bagged mini every now and then.... other than that i know i about 6 serious minis in the area... but i try and host a car show every year and im hoping to bring more to the area, and not just minis but anything that favors gravity!

And now back to the build... ive stripped it down and started on replacing the metal that was bad on the cab, which is rockers, front cab mounts, and front floor sections... and no im not a body man and im kinda winging it! heres what i got...

im using 2x3 .25" wall, for the frame...

and after i got the exterior DS rocker off... CANCER!

so i cut the cancer out and used 16ga steel patches that i cut out....

started to piece them in...

test fitting the new outter rocker...

 

[Haselton]

And just built half of my frame table...
