I didn't notice you painted your shock hoops black, why'd you do that?

i didn paint them. Its the original powdercoat. He used a soft paint and it peeled right off w/ out effort, so gonna light sand, primer, and use some metallic silver with clear coat to try and see if that works better.

Very nice work mang......looks spot on!! Question for you on F shocks...did you get the soft set of springs with that delrin slider? If so how much softer are they then stock?. I am using the same shocks on my build and the stock springs are stiff as hell. Have been searching and playing around with different springs trying to get the ride height where I want it. thx |

Knowing this guy, he's probably running expandable foam that comes in a can from the Home Depot. |

So what i did was on the front where the origional cage mounted i filled that area in with styrene fill peices.. put a lower styrene plate on the underneath side. and drill a hole big enough for a bolt in the back just drilled a hole in the 2 back corners where the tube meets the body on the front and rear down tubes i tapped the tube to 6/32 thread then just put the screws throught the body and into the tube and bam interchangable cages! the center down tubes slide into the body between the door and door panel so hidden from view but look built in... rear front Last edited by kaneohecrawler; 05-16-2011 at 11:51 PM. | |
