it came out ok, but it could be better......it fixed the problem I was going to have with the tire tucking into the rear anyway.

I kinda hacked the front, guess that just proves I'm not a body man......

When I cut mine, I used masking tape to show what it would look like before I did any cutting. I then folded the cut edge over to make it look clean.

well, I had planned on just painting the truck flat black so the fact that I wrinkled it isn't that big a deal. but I did do something similar......I basicly drew out where I wanted to cut the fender then offset an inch lower. then I cut where I offset and then folded the lip up link what phillippi is talking about. I just had a situation that the metal was in a bind so when I went to beat the lip over with my body hammer the fender twisted in the seam where the flare is. it looks fubar but it will work and I think if I put one of those rubber flars over it it will look ok......but like FSB said its going to get smashed any way........

You haven't even gotten started.

be very carefull with the sawzaw.....using them gets addicting, next thing you know you will be cutting everything up to alter it

I had ALOT of fun cutting up the 79 body.......

chopping the metal is addicting. I did alot, but I will do more I am sure after all is said and done.

yeah tell me about it i went crazy with my b2 and chopped the top which know i wifh i would have waited to do for later possibley. the finder's need a little more though especially the rear the rest will be on the frame end's i need to get then ready to be closed of so i can flat tow it over the mountain's to my new place. i think im gonna try to get some new door's to i chopped the crap out of those and now i have no support on top.

well I finaly have an update........but I haven't done anything but spend money

this is basicly everything together, the only thing I have not gotten yet is shocks and I was wanting to get the suspension together before I just buy something.

Damn those coil's look huge, let me guess 26" long....

DBrown · Post by **DBrown** » Sat Jan 15, 2005 6:31 pm

I compaired them to the stock one's and there is a big difference.

stock = 17 uncompressed
superflex = 24" uncompressed

monday is when I am going to get them in, if I have enough time I am going to start on the steering also.

FatMan · Post by **FatMan** » Sun Jan 16, 2005 1:22 am
