I saw a guy mist acetone on his mold and that got rid of all the bubbles.
I don't know if this would apply but the people that do epoxy resin tabletops use a heat gun and or a propane torch to get rid of bubbles....
There's a certain point in time where the line between custom and lowrider become blurred.
Sounds good:beer:. Pictures?
Looks great!
Slimmer fans? I have a 1 1/2 in deep Spal fan in my model a. If I'm not mistaken that's the shallowest fan available.
Sounds good. Keeping an eye on your progress :thumbup:
Trimmed the spring pockets and mocked up the upper and lower a arms, spindles, rotors and calipers.
Tomorrow I will trim the spring pockets to clear the bag so it doesn't rub and I will mock up the upper a arms, spindles, and rotors so I can put...
So I moved production up front till the Watts link gets here. It's time to bag the front! I bolted up the cup brackets and the front bags inside...
So I learned that a Watts link is a better way to center the axle over the panhard bar with the amount of travel I'm going to have . I bought...
Beautiful!
Yes, I only plan to drop the bags when I'm parked. I'm not going to do anything fancy like side to side or anything like that and I'm also going...
Just checked my setup and it will hit the links if I mount it there. :(
That's exactly what I would need. Mounting the watts in the rear of the diff is not an option since I have the bags there and they would...
I have the chassis set up at ride height right now. The only time I will deflate the bags is when I will park it. Do you think this still will...
The reason I went with a parallel 4 link is because I'm kinda building this truck on a budget and I had all these components on hand or I...
Perhaps this doesn't apply to my setup but aren't panhard bars mounted below the axle up front on hot rods that use cross steering? I ask because...

Yes, I'm running shocks. I'm making brackets that mount off of the lower 4 link bracket bolts on to and attach the shock from there to the top...
Haha! Actually the rear end was the first thing I upgraded when I got this project.
It's not the original axle, it's a Ford 9".
I'm working on a '58 Chevy truck and as most of you know, it's a really narrow frame so space is very precious. I set up my rear suspension and...
I always use phosphoric acid(ospho) on any bare metal that I intend to primer/paint over. Including something fresh from the sand blaster. The...
Notched the support braces front and rear to clear the pumpkin. Spaced the top bag mounts equally and set them at 0° front to back and side to...
Believe it or not bro, I've seen people that skip out on the shocks. I don't know why, but I've seen it.
Or this
I will also be able to mount the shocks off the lower 4 link mounts and keep everyone on the inside of the rails. And the panhard bar will mount...
