Hopefully you will get to see it patrick i plan to take it to the classic next year

You gonna draw a crowd if you do that. Next thing you know it's gonna be a cottage industry just providing teardrops for them! Then someone is gonna want waterbuffalo horn accents and snakeskins on it.

Not much progress this morning just mainly planning the modification of the blocks on where the holes will go

This mornings progress went well i drilled the holes and welded the blocks

all i need now is to go buy some longer U-bolts

Are you gonna have to change the setup on your Outriggers/Stabilizers?
Or are they long enough as is?

Il either have to get taller blocks for under the stabilizers or just weld an extention

Todays progress was finishing up mounting the axle with the new U-bolts and i washed the welds on a plate off an old tailgate and used it for a fender top plate/ blowout protection we flipped it back over and hopefully prep it for painting next week and mount the floor
