I think you have a great start, I would take what you have done already and use it as a mock up. while it's all glued in place build yourself some new brackets and some 4link bars. Then take some rubber o rings as your airbags with brackets and mount them over the axle. Clean and simple way. I did a quick search and found this setup similar to yours, good reference pic, might help you with the way the brackets and bag setup should look. It's the first photo on the left. http://www.mindlissmetal.com/automotive/links-locator/ Try starting a build page. People would love to see the progress and are always willing to chime in when you get stuck. Hope this helps motivate you a little, keep us updated.

Not bad, not bad at all. When I was about 11-13 I used to just cut the frame and then glue the rims and tires into the fender wells...lol! Love that front end, envoy bumper? The grill looks killer just like that, as if everything was frenched in. If you got a build page I'm sure we'd all like to see it.

DOOO ITTT!!! Haha

Deffinatly worth the click, thin is pretty cool. You think you lay down to drive it or just have one hell of a lean going on?

I used to drive a truck like this without the cap on the back when I used to haul 50ft powerboats for an ex-employer. It pulled the boats pretty nicely and was easy to drive. Cool trucks, I'd like to see someone build one of these

There are a couple ways to lower your truck down. 1 being a static drop which allows you to be lowered to a certain point and height. Then there our your airbags or hydrolics which allow you to slam your trucks frame flat on the ground. This is were the "notch" or "Z'd" frame comes into play which is basically the part of the frame that is raised up to allow somewhere for the rear end to go. That's were it can get tricky, you might have a lot of problems with clearence but take your time and plan everything out. A lot of stuff might have to be scratch built (frame, airbag setup, link bars, etc.) but with this forum you won't have any problems finding helpful people and tutorials. Google some reference photos of the slammed trucks you like and all the different setups there are, and go from there. Good luck!

Some pretty increditable work here. Some crazy detail, you even added the bolts to the floor pans and brackets to the roll cage. Great build, can't wait to see it all finished.

Outstanding work Brizio, I really hope you can get it done by Wed. Good luck

Well done Kate, nice build

Looks good all laid out on them rims. Can't wait to see it all done up with the frame

Looks like you got a good start. Nothing like a clean shaven full size. Any plans for the wave runner?

I'm a big fan of this build, I love all the detail you put into this, especially the suspension. Just one question, I love the paint work and lettering but what happened to that killer tiki guy that was on the bed cover? I like what you did with the more recent bed cover but I think I liked the tiki guy just a little more.

Well done, everything from the flat paint to the white walls just looks mean. Nice build

Nice build, clean and simple

Deffinatly one of my favorites, love that skull. Nice build

You always have some cool projects going on Bryan. I was liking your plans for the suspension, wish I was good with measuring so I could build some cool suspension work. Right now im trying to figure out how to bag my 49 merc. I had built a custom truck back in the day and I rolled around for the longest time with green primer similar to that green interior, it ended up with the nickname "Sweet-Pea". I think that would be a good name for this project, just my suggestion.

That is just sick! I love what your doing with this, can't wait to see it all finished.

I saw this article the other day and it reminded me of your build. I like where yours is going, I think your paint is a whole lot better then how they went about it. Build looks great, can't wait to see how you finish it up. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/07/24/ford-unveils-red-tails-edition-mustang-gt-w-video/

I like where your taking this. I'm working on my 49 merc and I did my kinda similar, looks clean. Can't wait to see it finished, keeping up,

Beautiful paint work

Personally, I think this truck is to big and badass to have them small wimpy rims and tires. I would love to see you tuck them big rig dually rims under that pickup bed or perhaps a set off a dub car with the retro look that have a big lip, would look tough as hell. Anyways, thats just my opinion, whatever you do it's still going to look nasty (in a real good way).

It's clean, real clean so far. I think with the smaller wheel in the front will make all the difference in the world. I like the color combo and the way you ran the line to seperated the two. Can't wait to see it come together, keep it up.

Man, now that is a hotrod if I've ever seen it. Really clean, love the exposed rear and motor. It's cool to see you built this outa what was on the cover of that box, well done.

That thing is just killer. Looks a lot better then the original version as cool as it is. Cool build

Not a fan of the stang but this thing looks real clean. No such thing as to low, the lower the better. Wheels were a nice touch, nice build.
