Small world. I have seen you at rocky hill and spoke with you before. I'm Gary and have the black 87 short bed truck. Your truck looks great, that frame is wicked! I've got some body work to do to mine this spring. Just bought a new clean rust free bed for it and am in the process of trying to find rust free fenders and doors.

Anyways, your project looks wicked! Keep up the good work! You still riding?

I see you have a bottle of Bone Suck Sauce. I heard that stuff is good. Is the 'hot' version too hot? or just right?

tomorrow i should have a template idea for the tunnel, and wednesday i should be rolling/ bending one up at work, i need to get some measurements for a fuel cell soon while work is slow my boss is genna tig me up a SS one

im making a set of lower control arms, i still have to find someone who sells poly bushings, i may just get a misc. set online and get DOM to fit it, not too sure on that yet

Tires are a must have soon, i want some decent low profile, i gotta do research on that, and make my disc break brackets and get the rear end done, called the guys on my four link they said it should be in next week, im pretty psyched that i got a company who doesnt just use "air bag it" 's parts and sell them under a different name, and they make it to my specs ;D
