Is that the CPP 6 lug front setup? (I noticed the other CPP parts) I am planning on keeping 6 lugs now and like the look of that setup.

You bet, that is the cpp 6 lug set up, it seems to be nice quality, i am happy with it, i will however order and extra set of rotors to have a spare set at home now thought. Just cause

Thanks for the replies guys, means alot, well i took this next week off of work to work on my truck, we will see how much i get done, th e wife is going home for a few days so that means i can live out in the garage, i had another part show up for me yesterday and here is a couple of pics of a truck i am working on at work, a 39 chevy, the guy wanted as much leg room as possible, so the new firewall and trans tunnel is about 1/2 inch away from everything, it is also on a s dime chassis.

Well i spent the last two days working on the truck, got the differential in place. It took me roughly 6 hours to figure out where everything was going and then i had to come up with drawings for everything. i decided to ask a friend for the use of his shop and equipment at Evolution Metals so it would make it easier and faster for me to get everything built. Turns out he decided to help me all day and help build all of it. Thank you Curtis. we spent roughly 11 hours getting it all done, we built all my tabs and also got my fuel tank mostly done, i still have to decide where to mount my filler and we have to put a drop bottom on it yet and weld in the AN bungs for the fuel system. that will happen later. Here is some Pics and a few i thought turned out neat. All i can say is that we sure had a buzz going on from all the Tim Hortons Coffee that we had during the past 24 hours ppl kept stopping by and bring us some, i am not sure if i will fall asleep tonite that is for sure. Later

Well it has been a Long Long day. i got out to the shop around 8 this morning and did not come in till 1 inthe morning. i got most of my watts link done in the back just a couple minor adjunstment, i will do that in the am. i also got my trailing arm brackets attached. So finally i have a ROLLING CHASSIS. YAH!!!! it has been this way too long. in the am i will start to install my anti roll bar and c-notches and shocks. that is the plan at least.

I also got to meet fbird68 tonite. He was in the city on work and stopped on by. really nice guy. glad too meet you and see you in the future. nothing better than shooting the sh*t sometimes in the shop.
So i managed to take some pics and here they are.

Well i cut the wok short today. Mel came home from the farm so we are goin out for supper and gonna watch a movie, i suppose a relaxing evening. so far today i got the rest of my watts link finished up and the anti-roll bar installed, that was a piece of cake, it took me longer to drill the 2 holes for the arms than it did to install it. and i mounted one of my shocks, so the plan is coming together slowly now. As you can probaly tell by now, i am trying for the PRO-TOURING side of the spectrum in builds. gotta see a old truck will do. Anyways on to some pics and i am outta here.

And of course the pic of the day at the end.;)

Those shocks you ordered, was there anything about their orientation from the manufacturer?

Not that i am aware of, i set them to 25 degrees inward, the reason for this isit handles corners better with the compression, unfortunatley, they are just cheap shocks for now, eventually i will get QA1's.and by going inwward i limited the travel on them.

Thanks for the replies.

Gentlemen, this man has talent! It was good to meet you to James. I look forward to see it when it's done and maybe a ride? lol I'll have to bring my beast out when it's done on one of my work trips.
Keep up the excellent work man.

The sway bar kit that you installed. Is that shaft spring steel or common round stock?

Hey guys, Thanks for the compliment Richard, a person does not hear that very often so it feels mighty good. Big head, as far as i can tell, the shaft is just 1 inch DOM tubing, does not look like spring steel, that is what i can tell at least. Well i had an interesting day, first we went and got the wife a new bike helmet and gloves, gotta love that when she tells you she wants to learn how to ride your bike. When i got home there was a parcel here for me, MORE PARTS YAH. i went out to the garage after that and got some done today, finished up the rear suspension, mounted my fuel pimp and fuel filter. i then cut my new powerslot rotors to fit my axles, i am gonna get aftermarket later soo.
Anyways after that i installed my rotors and set my brake calipers on. Well guess what my rims do not fit now, i was p*ssed. i wanted to run my 15 chrome babies. so i came in the house and told the wife. she just looked at me and how can u fix it. well i told her new rims, she looked at me and said do it:metal::metal:. I LOVE HER SO. However i let her pick them out ,after all it is hers too, so now to order.
I them went back out. and decided since i am getting new rims i have to save some money now. so i will use the old (new) headers instead od making some. However, the stupid CPP motor mounts do not work with header, DO NOT buy these. not happy with them, i had to modify, just like the SCOTTS pedal assembly, for a brake light switch. The headers are lower than i wanted and now i had to re route my exhaust, not how i wanted, but it will work, so i made up some muffler brackets for her and we are off the races.
Wow that was a keyboard full, sorry for all the reading guys, i had to vent. Anyhoo onto some pics.
