Custom... why... how... THATS AWESOME! How the ____ (<insert word of choice there) did i miss this? I've a question tho. What's the theme of this truck? I mean, what's going under the hood and stuff? Is it going to be bangin body droped pickup with a kikass interior? Or will we see some ice? I'm interested in this sucka now. I think i might do soemthing similar with the umm, what's it called? I dunno. Well its similar to this tho.

[customminatures]

LOL thanks man! Its gonna have a hawaiian theme. Going to have 2 scratch built boogie boards in the back. They will be on a angle fron the very back top edge of the truck up to the back edge of the roof. No ICE on this 1. Its going to be, how should i say this. Not a show truck, but a pimp daddy daily driven baech cruiser that can go to shows and win trophies! LOL I think the color will be like a misty blue, with a sunset mural on the back, wraping around the sides to the back of the rear wells. Will have hawaiian flowers in the paint and interior somehow! For the final pics(If it ever gets finished!LOL) will be of it at Seista beach, here in sunny sarasote, fl. Voted 1 of the softest and white-est beaches in the world! thnx for paying attn. to my builds!

That sounds like it's going to kickass! Now, man, you got inspired with your hilux. I might have to copy that truck with the 2jz and the IRS, btw, how'd you make that hood on the hilux? It looks pimp, as does everything you build!

[mike@af]

As I said before, astonishing, simply astonishing.

I cut the hole in the hood and used styrene to build the tops and side. But I didnt build the motor first to test fit the motor clearence. It fits, but by less than a mm.! so build the motor first!

Well, I started doing a little work on the frame today! I said last week to a friend that my next aluminum frame would be fully adjustable! Well, its going to be. There are 2 pics, not much to look at. Just wanted to show more progress. This is just the begining of the front control arm set-up. Control arms will attatch to what you see!

[mike@af]

As I said a few days ago, "that will be cool". Well, I lied, thats WICKED!

[chinesechickens]

like i said on aol its cool. reminds me to work on my mini pickup that i made from an 86 civic.....

[willimo]

Nothing like coming to AF to see how far behin the curve I am.

[customminatures]

more break through progress! I am super pleased with the out come of the front end so far! Even though the camber is screwed!

[86_SR5]

Kool. Gona have to rethink that front suspension tho. It looks good, but could use some more thought. cuz u shouldnt have to sink it that much into the wheel well for straight wheels.

[mike@af]

As I said earlier, amazing.
