also i decided that I'm going to be competing in the Top Drift season next year at willow springs with a fellow truck drifter. so root for me

made a little more room for the monster


cut holes in the firewall for the shock hoops


bent the shock hoops (1.25 120wall DOM)


some very detailed suspension diagrams drawn on my fender


mock up suspension till i can get my hands on s14 coil overs


and the POS little welding cart i made today


should have the truck on the ground late tomorrow

[pejsa]

got a little done in the fucking rain today

shock hoops mocked in place. just tack welded for now.


tight fit




full droop height with stock struts


gussets yet to be welded


and the shock top hats are not finished they will have additional tube braces to support them with a bolt in cross bar over the motor tying the shock hoops together

[FunfGang]

I'm here because I'm fascinated by fabrication If I tried to do this, the front end would be pointing in the wrong direction

[Zic]

how come i missed this?

Awesome stuff, tho those welds seem to need a bit more heat. (i'm not professional tho.)

[TruTaing]

This build gets better and better. How much of the original truck is remaining?! :P
