These rims are smaller than the first set. They were 30''s:eek:

No, if I wanted the front to lay frame the rims would be coming out the top of the hood:tongue: Not to mention the engine wouldn't fit.

B16EF you did a great job on the shaving man i love that hopefully i can get enough motivation to do something like that to mine im not sure yet just thought id share what ive done so far let me know what you think

and to the mods this post should probably be moved to the completed and in progress forum

EDIT: forgot to add im new here and in case anyone didnt catch my post in the real name/age II my name is John im 20 from upstate NY (Rochester) have enjoyed seeing all of your work and look forward to adding my own...oh and thanks to the mods for moving this to the completed/in progress so we can keep it going without it getting annoying in the main forum :icon16:

Give that cheesy side trim door-ding protector a shave off!

i was thinking either shave it off or try to fill in the lines in it to make it all smooth but im not sure ive never really done anything like that yet just use fine grit around 1200? sand paper and sand it down right?

Thanks for the compliments:smile:

Jas21 your truck is lookin pretty good man:cool: How are you planning to do the rear suspension?
To get the door trim off, I used a dremel to get close(but not perfect) then sanded the rest.

Isn't C02 carbon dioxide?

Hehe.... think he meant "NO2" Killer truck man:thumbsup:

compressed air... for the "airbag suspension"

:lol: If that thing were filled with nitrous, that would be one crazy-fast truck.

But yep it's for the airbag suspension. I've seen some people that use nitrous in their suspensions, though.
