yea...my friend sold his site minitrucker.net so i lost that domain. if you have myspace, you can add me at www.myspace.com/gdmic i post on there my progress. i haven't had much progress lately, well none really. i have the whole bag setup and the metal, so i will be getting work done soon. i need to measure for the frame, then i'll take it to my friends shop where we will cut and weld it all together, then i can bring it home and replace my stock frame.

i did however cut down the front cups and made sure i was gonna lay with them. i need to trim around the upper bag cup so i wont rub, and also drill a hole on the top to bolt the upper cup in. i also spent some time connecting the valves to the tank, i need to wait until i have the frame built and the bed back on before i can run everything, i'm trying to keep the stock bed floor and hide everything under it, but it may stick out in some spots...oh well

ALSO, a friend of mine just bought an 87 that had some buckets out of a newer style chevy, i didn't really look at them too much, but i think they're the 88-98 style. he doesn't want those so i'll be taking those off his hands! then i will be fiberglassing a center console to hold the 2 10's, a little holder for my switchbox, and something to hold my ipod
