Clean primer job FTW..

Subject: Re: one step closer Sat Sep 15, 2007 6:57 pm

well, spent 6 hrs last night pulling the bed off, welding up my notches, cutting the bed open and relocating the gas tank. have a few small details to work out yet, like what to do the with hydraulic unit for the brakes, paint up the notches and surrounding area, and run fuel lines, but its almost ready to go lower. maybe next weekend!

Subject: Re: one step closer Sat Sep 15, 2007 11:02 pm

how did it come out?

Subject: Re: one step closer Sun Sep 16, 2007 1:33 pm

yeh man lets see some pics

Subject: Re: one step closer Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:13 pm

shortly.....

Subject: Re: one step closer Sun Sep 16, 2007 10:41 pm

alright, 1o hrs later.......

now keep in mind, there still more to do. yes, i will be hiding the tank, but it is a temp deal for now, seeing as how i kind of had to rush the work. but i think all in all it turned out pretty well. i will try and do a write up on how i did this, but these are all the pics i have.

Subject: Re: one step closer Mon Sep 17, 2007 12:43 am

man looks good

Subject: Re: one step closer Mon Sep 17, 2007 12:50 am
