    Well like I mentioned in the last post,, I had to move the front frame rails in 2" on each side because the fenders hit the tires,,, so I cut the rails off just behind the top A-Arm mounts, and boxed them in and now I am making some 3 /16 thick boxing plates to reinforce the rails,, got the sides done ,, still have to make the top and bottom plates,,,

    Also made a gadget to help me figure out the back spacing for the rear wheels, and to determine if these monster tires a will rub anywhere,, I am trying to keep from having to widen the fender wells, if possable,, but it looks like these 15 " wides Mickys are gonna work


    I GOTTA DOWN SIZE THESE PICTURES<<<<<<< SORRY FELLAS

    A little catchup here.. getting things mocked up some,,
    ggot the frame welded up. changed the rear tires over to the 10" sprint wheels I had.. kinda makes them buldge out on the sides. and not the right backset,, so I guess ordering new wheels is next,, [ i don't like the sprints anyway,,

    BR - really looking good (that is for someone that did "other things" all summer)

    OK pictures - don't know what software you are using, but if I'm not using Photobucket, I resize my pictures with Photoshop Elements to 500 pixels wide, and then let the height take care of itself.

    If you have one oversized picture on the thread page it will stack all smaller pictures side by side to fill the space of the wider picture above. Resizing will not work until you go back and resize the ones above, too.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
