well I got them modeled and am generating the prints. Hopefully I'll have them back from the laser company next week.
Here's a few of my models and a print.
Models look good. You using Pro-E to model? Doesn't look like Solid works (I use that everyday).

I like to see fellow designers also. We use NX.

Looks like you have a good design going on.

Yeah its ProE. I just started using it 2 days ago... hehe but, I have some good teachers. The drawings needs some work. I'm getting there though.
I also have my first sponser my truck. Woot! Thanks to Advanced Laser in Anniston, Al. I will be getting all my 4 link brackets for free! Woohoo!:metal:

Thank you Sir. Im hopeing to have some better pics to post soon. They turned out really cool.

Re : Good Work !
 
I rarely see tubs on lowered trucks and of course , this means they either cannot be driven much or the truck rusts out in two years even here in " rust free " So. Cal. .

Few take the time you're displaying to think things out fully , your rig is a big inspiration to many DIY'ers :metal: .
