Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Just a few pictures from today ..

(I know the Ubolts are too long ) I'm still undecided on the drop blocks. I want to get it on the gound and at ride height and get the perfect drop block to accomodate. I have access to billet stock and can make maybe another .25 or so if needed.. maybe .5" .. not sure how low she'll go once it's back on the tires. I'll cut them off when I get it how I want it.

The exhaust is definitely going to have to move. Dad and I have been working on the cab corners a bit too, it looks like when it was painted they just couldn't get to the filler between the cab and bed so it just wasn't sanded too good. Suprisingly they're really not rusted that bad. .. but there is a little Rage in them in places. We're going to finish them up before the bed goes back on.

We need to do:

Run the lines over to the rear calipers
Move / reconfigure the exhaust
Mount the tires up (of course)
Get my track bar and lower shock bar from Nate, paint and mount
Mount the rear swaybar - it's painted and ready to go in, I just ran out of time today.
Shocks
We are replacing the carrier bearing too, it's being pressed in now. We should have it next week

I think that's it .. ?

Then the bed goes back together .. More to come soon.
