Ok so i have a few tech articles i could write...

Postby LaidoutRivi63 on Tue Nov 17, 2009 1:04 pm

who'd like to see em?

-custom frenched antennas
-Sanden engine driven compressor
-custom notches (a week from now)
-bed body drop (near future)
-build your own link bars (near future)
-frenching bumpers (this is a custom trick from the 60s and stuff, but i can see how it could be applied to trucks with great results, ill be doing this to my riviera)

Let me know, i have done a lot on my riviera, i just havent taken thurough pictures to show it all. I will probably be clipping the hilux so i could do that as well. I just picked up a bunch of work so these might take a while. The frenched antennas article i could do now if people are interested!

let me know how it goes. I just narrowed a Mustang II front end for my sister's car a couple months ago. Have to have the rack machined to keep the geometry correct. I was thinking the same, and i was gonna do some new rails under the cab to stockfloor body drop it. Im 6'2" so i need head room!!

I will start busting out some pics from my antenna frenching job and do a quick tech article for all to enjoy. Hopefully bring some old school style to some minis and the few cadillacs trollin the site!

I will post pictures of the nash i just clipped, but its done and i wont be pulling things apart anytime soon, but you can see the job. Its not the prettiest thing we have done, as grafting a crossmember in a unibody car is a chore, but its fairly clean. I'm working on getting started on some stuff, I had surgery today though so I'm slowed down a bit. Maybe tonight after work ill get truckin' :D!
