new to me steering wheel...

[dv8customs]

No wrap on that wheel... better get some gloves to keep from burning the skin off your hands this summer.

[justpball]

yea i know..LOL

[copperchevy]

Here is a good deal on some billet shift and column levers. I ordered 2 sets. You cant use the turn signal one though since you have the wiper controls on it.

Looking great man!!!

[joe231]

that box looks killer!
I really like the rounded squares, was that a pain to do?

Sorry, I just saw an earlier post you made with the details about the dash cover....guess I missed it earlier
thanks!!!

[Driveway Dreams]

My detailer at work has that same wheel. He is trying to sell it to me for cheap! Hard to justify with short funds right now. But cheap is hard to beat.

The box is gonna look great I'm sure. Nice job so far!

[justpball]

thanks guys, no the speaker rings were not that hard, if you have the right tools! here is a primed pic.

oh yea and my door panels

[VA72C10]

very nice!!!

you ever get the A-Arms in?? Also since you narrowed the lower did you do the uppers also? This would also narrow your track width so what did you do about your tie rod ends did the clear when adjusted without touching each other or did you trim them down some?

[justpball]

have not done them yet, got a big show this coming weekend so i didnt want to pull it apart yet...i did not shorten up the uppers, i notched them and tilted them down so the ball joint would not bind up, so that will pull it in some and also the shims can be pulled out to correct the camber, I wont know till I put it all in about the tie-rod ends but I will let you know

[54Caddy]

alright sounds good, any more information on the rear set up, what notch do you have for the frame, and how much total in the rear set up do you have

[justpball]

I used a universal notch and still have the leafs in right now so I have about 300 in the whole setup on the rear, I have in the works a new top secrete rear setup!! more details later!

[54Caddy]

did you just simply use so pipe and shape it to the rear end weld it on the weld on the lower pipe to hold the bag, and for up top weld the bag brackets to the existing rail on the frame?

[justpball]

No I welded two 2x2 pieces of steel to the inside top of the frame and welded the top bag brackets to that, and on the bottom I had some SD axle bag brackets and so I flipped them upside down and welded them to the bottom of the axle and the used 2x4 steel to make my part that mounts the bag. It is a very simple setup, but I am going to change it all soon, just wanted to get it working and then go from there

[justpball]

box painted and spiked!

[justpball]

[54Caddy]

You made those door pods??

[justpball]

I say do IT!!

what's in the raised part of the rear floor?
did you move your gas tank up?

[Bubba's79]

How do they mount

[VA72C10]

looking good!

[justpball]

I put my air ride tanks in the back and the raised part is covering that. The door pods mount with 4 bolts in the back
