Alright my other project thread was way too long, so im starting part 2....work today consisted of getting the bed cut, dropped, and tacked...put the bed back on to see how it lines up, and it needs to be tweaked in some areas, but its pretty damn close....i talked to dave at suicidedoors.com today and i got my 5 gallon tanks on the way, hopefully they should be here soon...thanks again brotha!.....also, dont mind the wood, its so i can get a jack underneath the truck still....

thanks guys...mike u probably wont get this, but im done for the nite, im heading out to a bbq...

today i got a decent amount done, but i ran into some issues...
i got both frame rails done, welded, grinded, seam sealed, primed and painted....i got the drivers side control arms, spindles, rotors and mostly everything hooked back up...i just need to get the caliper back on....the passenger side airline was giving me a really tough time to hook back up, it nearly backtracked me an hour. I had to modify the upper bag cup to fix the problem i was having. Once i got that done, i started to mount the bag, and i realized the lower cup will not sit right in the control arm, and also the bag rubs the top of the frame....i need to take the passenger side apart now and trim a little more, and figure out why the lower cup wont sit right. I wanted to have this thing off the jackstands by tonite, so im a little disappointed

That sucks dude. But, at least you are making sme progress. We seem to be going backwards.. So damn discouraging..

well ladies and gentlemen, it is with honor to say that dagreenmonster is alive and well....me and my dad were out there all day working on this thing trying to get her done. we figured out the cup issue on the drivers side, got the whole front end put back together, the brakes bled, master cylinder bled, wheels back on, fluids in and off the stands....and for the first time in almost a year, it left the driveway on its own power. i just backed it into the street and then back in. I still need to hook up my efan b4 i can do any serious driving...it runs great, and it stops pretty damn good too....pics up in a little bit :D
