The last one I did I used my buddies portable home made booth, it worked pretty good too, just had trouble with my feet sticking to the plastic on the floor. check it out. LINK HERE |
Thanks I am glad to be done sanding. and buffing. The next day after buffing one of my doors, my back was so frickin sore, I could barly move, I thought Id really hurt myself. Laid me up for three days.
I checked out your link. It Looks sweet. The plastic on the portable booth looked fairly thin or is that just a illusion

Thanks... great build... can't wait to see the final product!!!

When I was putting those on, I kept referring back to my assembly manual, and they showed them going around the front as well. It just seamed to make sence for them to go in the back. Since the truck is pretty much custom thats the way I ran them. Did you check out the rears. I ran them through the frame instead of across the rear end. For a cleaner look.

Yea, I ended putting a 1" square tubing spacer under the trans mount. that aligned everything right up. engine flattend out and the tailshaft is right where it should be. I think your right, they welded the mount upside down.
