EZO's Build Thread - Recipe for disaster... BUMPSTOPS, rough draft version 1.0

[carpeonnel]

yeah but eventually you're gonna start sacrificing lots of COG for fender clearance, not to mention your driveshaft angles. I was rolling with about 10in or so and 38s, now I'm dropping back down to 7-8ish. Fenders are nice but I want my driveshaft angles and low COG.

Nice build BTW. Subscribed

NO NO No No please dont cut any more [other than to match the other side] It looks soooo good right now...
be a rebel like me and dont cut

X2, I hate to see a nice 80 like this get cut up. Although I am biased since I can only hope that my body comes out looking this good when I finally get going on it.

Nice build so far. Keep up the good work. One thing, though. Please get rid of that Moonvisor.

I don't blame her for it. Those things were ugly in the 80s and they're still ugly to this day.

Personally I think they make a truck just look cheap and very awkward. Remove it and I think your trucks value will go up

Not rippin on your truck man just givin you a little hell

Couple of updates on what I have been working on - and some bling pics....
(of course the new parts make the rest of my engine bay look like crap!)

A major degreasing operation is in order when I get this thing out of the garage again...

 

[carpeonnel]

[AJMBLAZER]

FF hub ? where did you get them and do you ahve a part number ?

 

[YZEATER]

Well, I didn't use a press. But a 3lb mini sledge works fast
