Here's another example of 36' bones triangulated to ladder bars.
You will definitely have a good time. I would strongly suggest parking whatever you'll be driving and walking. Walking is much faster than the...
Here's a a good friend's cdan that I chopped while I was out at the LA Roadster show a month ago.
U-Pol Reface will give you good results but I've found myself using Evercoat Slick sand as it seems easier to find and easier on the wallet. I'm...
Looking forward to it. It's a great show at a great venue.
I ran Firestone on the front and Goodyear on the rear as they're the only one who had the rear tire size that I wanted. As already stated, they...
Bringing this back up
I also just chopped a 32' sedan with a straight 3 1/2" cut. I opted to thin out the A pillar a touch. By going that route the top hinge was...
