the bag `o sh*te


heres my rod.
theres not too much left to do but
its those little jobs that seem to take
ages.

since those pics were taken,its 2 1/2" lower at the front thanks to dropped spindles(i cant get
a finger under the frame head) and i`ve
tubbed the front out to match the tubbed rear.
i`ve raised the tranny 3" and i`ve chopped the roof 4".
i`ve also got a set of 66 only wheels for it
but i need to widen a pair for the rear.

john and i also make and sell the beam extenders to move the beam 10" forward.

and heres how it used to look about 15 years ago.(b289 anyone emoticon )

Re: the bag `o sh*te


it got laid up for a few years and
the rot set in so it had to be ripped
apart to fix it(heater channels ect)
so i thought why not.
but if it still looked like it did, i wouldnt
have chopped it up,i would have got an ebay
scrapper.
the next one will be chopped up far more
than this one,but id only use a scrapper,
i wouldnt chop a good`un. emoticon

did you notice the yellow bug,its been
chopped up for the roof and door tops,
but its absolutely gone in the floors and
channels.
