83 c10 re-innovated Pro Touring

[the dan]

finished the lower bag mounts


also looked at it with the fender on it

at ride height im going to have to pull the fenders so i can get another 3/4 atleast


and i started my tubular x member, its going to be a 6pt, it will help stiffen my frame along with making a nasty place to mount my carrier bearing:)
, ill get more pics when its done. tons of tube work

[SUX2BU99]

Wow, nice welds!!

[the dan]

so the x member is coming along nice

heres the 6pt being added to it


looking around for some stuff on the rack and pinion and a bunch of other small stuff, then i need to sit down and think about whats next

[VileZambonie]

[the dan]

[the dan]

Been jamming to stevie ray alot lately and got some work done:




Axle truss kinda looking thing for my watts link:


my upper watts mount:


my fuel cell should be made by next week, its going to be rediculous 
All custom fit, stainless, and tigged by phill who puts every weld ive ever seen to shame, My boss told me when i started working that he was going to make me one, he came to my shop yesterday and has been more excited than ever

Then my brother and i put a cage in my friend Ody's truck:

finished the mounts for the watts, well mock up atleast:




not to brag, but friggin cool huh?

[hotrod24]

You have come long way man keep it up looking good

[VileZambonie]

That looks sick! I gotta check it out in real life sometime

[the dan]

my shops your shop, doors almost alwyas open.



as you can see the f/c is 304 stainless, i need to mod the original design to fit the watts link though, i dont think my boss Vin is going to be happy, i mean look at him here, thats the face after telling me how his 33 ford coupe (with all chevy parts, and a glass body) is a real machine because its a ford.

[VileZambonie]

lol he sounds like a cool guy though!

[slammed79]

Any progress? I'd like to see more, and I know I'm not alone!

[treepete]

yeah whats the latests update?

[the dan]

made little braces on my mounts


finished the cell
 

had to clearence the watts mount and the cross member for the fill neck that i forgot i put on the fuel cell, whoops


theres more, not that i have pictures of, i cut and dropped the frame in front of the engine 3" to get the bumper down low, i also fish plated the rest of the frame, cleaned all the welds up, and mocked the front sway bar, im having a horrible time getting the rear to work with me, i have one that my friend is usign on his 57' and i called the place ne bought it from and they have no clue where or when he got it, so im SOL, and i also ran into a shock problem.... where do i put them? so i have been working on a cantilever set up on the outside of the frame, hopefully i can get it to work,

[VileZambonie]

What's up the dan? How you making out? Did you decided what you're going to do with the rear suspension?
