If they're running drums in the rear, what are they doing for e-Brake cables?

Blaz-air · 02-23-2008, 02:48 AM

They are covers over the disk I believe....

Sir, you have created another masterpiece of automotive artwork. My opinion is that Chip needs to move over to the same side as Boyd, and let you take charge.

Blaz-air · 02-23-2008, 03:03 AM

Man, Chip is the MAN!!! I am just a hack! But thanks again for the compliment. I wish people could have as much fun as I do when I am doing these!

Looks great, but how do you get the hood open?

Scott Webster · 02-23-2008, 04:34 AM

I dig the unibody. Actually I was going to start a thread asking if anyone had done that since it was a mod I was thinking about.

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like the hood/cowl/fenders are one piece, I think the whole thing flips forward.

That truck looks KILLER!!!!!!

It truely is a piece of art. That's one truck I'd actually be afraid to drive!

Blaz-air · 02-23-2008, 05:24 AM

its hard to see, but if you look at the cowl in the corner you will see the hood break. I runs along the top edge of the "old" hood.

This might give you a concept of what Carter is talking about.
