Bagged
 

Wow man nice work.......I love the dual rear fram rail set up.......you said 4 in off the ground? Is that with air in the bags?????? Very cool, nice pics

It's actually 5.5 Ride Height and 3.75 deflated. I want to make sure that when i deflate it i don't kill anything under the truck.

that is pretty conservative...but I understand why trust me, that nomad in the picture...the frame is already scratched and the car hasn't been shown yet! I have 89 pick up I drive everyday that is 2.5 off the ground static! hahaha but I don't mind dragging it! anyway truck looks killer man!

I was planning on 4" from the get go -- but I changed my mind to 5.5 because I plan to drive this thing on the 07 Power Tour. I already have one garage queen
(( https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=1819 )) and i'm not looking for another.

The other thing that I have going for me is the rear tires are 30.5" tall which will give it the illusion of being lower because the tires are so tall. The other part that will help with the lowered stance is the canvas black bed cover over a Champaign and Cherry Red paint. It all in how you trick the eye or that's at least what they tell me.

Thats funny my daily driver truck is champagne and red.........
Ford FX
Dupount hot hues (Champagne Fizz)

That is one bad ass ride!! Great pics and the stance is perfect. :)

Wow
 

First welcome to the site. Second...WOW...that is a nice truck. As CAMAROBOY69 said perfect stance.

Thanks guy's for the kudo's on the stance. It took hour for me to get it right. I just hope it looks half as good when it's on the ground.

great project. look forward to more updates

Okay for me these pics are better then Porn

First off I want to thank Laramie at Precison Brakes. He has been a great guy to work with and i can't tell you how happy i am with these pictures. I just can't wait to hold these monsters in my hands.

Hi Travis - me to but it looks like it's going to get it's maiden voyage on the 07 Power Tour

your making pretty good progress do you think it will take that long to complete?

My Goal is to have it complete by the 07 Power Tour.

I should have it back at my home shop around Dec/Jan. I will have about a month to finish up some loose ends on the truck. I want to get everything attached to the frame that need to be there. Once that is complete I plan to strip it down and take the frame, tailgate, core support and Cab to Detroit to have it Acid Dipped and E-Coated.


Once that is complete it's off to the painter and powder coater.

But we all know how thing go when your building a car.

That's it for this week

11-19-05 Update

Well not much to talk about this week. I had to special order some parts so we were in a holding pattern.

Here's the new flanges for the mufflers. Just in case i want to pull the muffler off.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/..._11_19_001.jpg

And that special order part - the new exhaust tip that will exit out the side of the truck

Here's a great picture of the stock frame to the tube frame transition. Rick "Opie" Waller had a lot to do with the look of this transition. I think his idea worked well.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/..._11_19_011.jpg

I havn't really been in the forum since this was originally posted...but that is gonna be one SICK truck. I need to go back and look through the whole thread. I don't have the time right now. But I'm sure when I get to it I will have plenty of questions. I'm working on an 02. It is my daily, but I do a little here and there.
