    '81 Chevy Project Goes Away

    Re: New Project Truck- Suspension Upgrade Weekend Frustrating day. I got the last bag mounted under the front right and bolted it all back together. I pulled the jack stands from all 4 corners to see how she sat. It looked good, but I wanted to see if it was able to drive. I fired her up and...

    '81 Chevy Project Goes Away

    Re: New Project Truck- Suspension Upgrade Weekend Day 3 Update: I missed my goal. The cutting and grinding took much longer that I had hoped. I did get the rear squared up and the rear bags mounted. I am digging the new stance! I also got the front left bag installed. Back to work...

    Re: New Project Truck- Bags Have Arrived A few pics of my progress this past week. Test layout of the valves in the 20mm High Explosive ammo crate I am using to house some of the air bag hardware. The crate sitting in it's future home. Hard to see the industrial switch on the side of the...

    A question of light

    For that level of light consider converting a cool vintage light to LED. Harbor Freight has a 32 LED flashlight for less than $10 I have used. There are several threads in the how-to forum that explains the conversion.

    Re: New Project Truck- Bags Have Arrived My Step Notch left Sacramento tonight and UPS says it will be here on Wednesday. That means next weekend will be busy for me! I will be done in time to load up and sell some bike parts at the Midwest Bicycle Swap!

    Re: New Project Truck- Bags Have Arrived My bag kit showed up today! I am still waiting on my step notch kit to get here and, unfortunately for me, the 4-link, the bags, and everything else has to wait until the stop notch is installed to move forward. I did spend the evening assembling the...

    Re: New Project Truck- Mono-chrome! So far between paint and primer I will guess 20 cans. I still need to wet sand and shoot the whole thing one more time. I left a couple blankets behind. Ordered my airbags yesterday so hopefully we get some nice weather next weekend!
