Project Drag Star

Just gets better and better.

man this truck is really turning out badasssssssssss

Thanks guys.

Got the tilt bed finished up. Use Energy Suspension bump stops as adjusters, so it works like a hood does. And use a universal bear claw latch from FBI. And I used a hood pull from an 80s fullsize Bronco, because the part you pull on looks cool and will fit well under the seat. They hinge at the back with a .75" aluminum pillow block with a brass bushing inside. Nice and smooth.

this will be a hot lil truck.
great job so far

Triangulated lower control arms, and cut 1.25" off the top of the arm and plated with 3/16" plate to lower the bag down.




Unfortunately, the suspension is still about 1.5" away from laying on the new tires. The upper bag mount is just not set up right, which I did not do BTW. I will probably be redoing the front bag mounts after Reso. They are a little haggard.

Frame horns are dropped.


Yes its braced.

Replacement core support is welded on.

And clearanced for 18s.


So is the passenger side of the firewall.

good work seth. have fun at reso..i can make it and im beating myself up for it.

those are some great pics of the work

Thanks.

Its too bad you cant go. Its the last one, and its gonna be awesome. To the max.



Drivers side is tubbed. This is what they look like before grinding.

Put a clutch from a 90 Honda Accord under the dash.


Crazy contraption.

Made an offset brake pedal linkage thing.


Works great. I swapped it over to manual brakes, got a 60s Corvette master cylinder. Gives plenty of room for the tires. I can't get all the fittings I need to plumb up the brakes, so I just plumbed the fronts so it can be pushed on and off the trailer safely.
