my 98 stepside project

[98nightmare]

Yeah you have a good project going, I have seen it there, but I don't post there anymore.

I didn't think it was any good.. its very basic..

 

[DRAGGIN95]

There's a lot to be said for being done right, basic or not, or at least there is to me.

 

[Sully]

patience?

id have slapped the damn thing together long ago and just said good enough. I get to impatient to take on a long project and take the time to do it right.

 

[98nightmare]

Thanks Draggen95.. And Sully, i get tempted to do that..lol

Some minor progress today, not much really.. I did some of the tank member so i could see if it will lay without problems..

I will tie it into the frame better and go ahead and box that portion of the frame some more. Im going to put the shocks back in there factory location. They fit there with no problems when i use the DJM shock hangers.. I tried to drive it down the road cause it looked like it didnt lay much in the yard.. lol... i dragged the hell out the frame on pavement.. didnt make it five feet and i had to back slowly into the drive and air it back up.. Got the neighbors out quick when the heard the horrible damn sound of scraping metal.. It was flat on the ground lol.. about an inch and a half off the ground on the front of the frame.. lol Thats with 26" tires, and no bags up front, sooo i believe (pray to the car gods) it should lay some 20s fine.. So im happy as fk.
