The bent frame looks really really nice, maybe a new alternative to cutting the bottom off? How hard was it to bend it?

monster links you say? how big? i like your story on how you got the idea to bend the chassis. i was going to paint my chassis to go along with the color of my truck,but i moved a little fast for myself to do that i might do it later. did you just use an s.o.s pad to scratch it up a little then paint it?

How big you say? Well you will have to wait and see. I will be useing regular links till I fab up the big ones. I used a 100grit sanding pad/block thing to sand the paint from the wood off. Then the metal underneath. Then primerd and painted it. |

Set up to a 17" wheelbase. These links are just temporay so I can ajust the wheelbase if I don't like the length. But I think i like where its at now. I will start turning down the new links in a couple days after some more testing.

A new "twist"??. keep us posted. Is your wheelbase still at 17"? Hows it working for you? Cause when my truck was at 17", It tends to get hunged up at times when I'm crawlin' (must be the driver ). And it seemed too long anyway so I cut it back at 15.75". |
