Falder Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Yes, I love mini trucks. How'd it all go with a unibody?
HOrnbrod Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Lookin' good JB. RH drive, truly going to be one of a kind. Did ya decide to go with the Waggy front end? That would look great on that rig. :D
mjeff87 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Lookin' good JB. RH drive, truly going to be one of a kind. I thought I had a few too many BL's when I looked at that the first time..... :chillin: JB, you doin' some kinda IFS in the front of that? Or does the tube axle harpoon it's way thru the engine block? :razz: Jeff
jbhill Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 lol @ harpoon. its got an s10 frame under it, its welded to the inner rockers with 2x3. yea i guess I'm sticking with the waggy clip. for now...
jbhill Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 finally did a spray out from the paint ive ben mixing at work
Ndru911 Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Nice silver. is that a custom mix or some factory color? At first I thought you shot some huge sheet that was as wide as a bumper :hmm: , now i see it's a welding cupon ...duh. I can't wait to see it painted. Maybe I'll get you to do mine later. What's the name of the shop where you work? EDIT: now i'm curious why silver when you have so much chrome? most people like darker colors for contrast.
jbhill Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 darker silver color was the factory color. and this was free lol. its just all the left over silvers from repair jobs mixed in a gallon can lol.
jtdesigns Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 lol at the mixed paint.. You know thats how Richard Petty came up with that light blue on his race car don't you.. Thats one sick MJ.. dragging arse..
99ncxj Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I have to ask...why did you take off the black handles and newer mirrors? oh, and i think you put your lift kit on backwards...
jbhill Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 i wanted to see if the chrome ones would fit with out mods and they do. yea i read the instructions backwards lol!

Throttle_Jockey Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 is that airbags? and what size wheels are those? I think those whell are 17" Thats a good looking color it's pretty close to the color on my 03 mustang gt

DirtyComanche Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Can't wait to see it in paint! This is one of those 'out there' projects that I really enjoy.

beaterjeep Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Very nice man. Now, keep at it, I wanna see that thing painted by next week. :chillin: Seriously though, does look real good.
beaterjeep Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Good gawd man. Every time I see your truck, I get evil thoughts in my head for Baby. Any projected estimation of completion, or just taking it as it comes?
jbhill Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 sooner or later, but never later then never lol. I'm hoping to drive it by the end of the year lol.
