lol i know i know...i got a hefty fine from our HOA for working on the truck recently plus $50 each time they see me workin on it. so that slowed the fabage down a bit. but we should be mounting a bender out at my buddies shop in the country this weekend..i already took my welder out there so we should be rollin shortly. gotta finish the bed cage, redo the rear bumper to suport 2 spares, and pick up some fiber glass so i can get rid of my sorry excuse for a bed lol

your tellin me, it wasn't all that bad untill some older couple moved in across the street and joined the HOA board. They got my 71 mach 1 removed from the property within the first 6 months they lived there. Even thought it was covered in my garage for over 5 years, technicaly we are not supposed to have non-op cars on the property. Can't even change my oil with the garage door up anymore

weeellll.....finally got the motavation to finish my cage..

Best friend "FordRacing1122" rolled his truck right in front of me with a good friend in the pass seat after nosing in on a 65' jump. luckily the both walked away.

DAMN. Glad everyone's OK!

 

[c_note]

maybe you can take his ford 9". just kidding, the only reason i saw that is that you posted everyone walked away. btw, those shafts look bent!


i wanted to ask you, what do you put on the SAW bodies to prevent rust? never had rust problems till i moved east.

dayummmmm,truck really dosent look "bad" for coming off a 65ft jump.Glad every one is ok.

To be honset that's way I havent stuck rear shocks on my truck yet, keeps me from really playing, till i get the funds to build a cage.


C-note I hear boiled linseed oil works pretty good.and these might help with your end bearings
