i am feckin lovin this build. have to say fair balls mate. i have to say, i see why you built the suspension in that way, good strenght. id say if you had have kept the standard rear turrets more in tact and the built the bracing over this, then it might be more eligable. would be alot of work to redo though. i personaly dont see how this is diffrent to tubbing, or custom rear turrets. like you have to cut half the arch out for something like this, and its defnitly similar to what you have done,
pickups dnt have turrets though dude they have leaf springs and the shocks are in the middle of the axel. to the chasis. theres a pic how it was standard in the first page..
no, i know that. what im trying to say is, that maybe if you put turrets similar to these in it might be more acceptable than the bars you have in place at the moment, as for motorsport your allowed to cut out standard rear tops and turret them, would be alot of extra work though. was just an idea, as id love to see this rip up tar at the bdc.
i get cha, wel they will have metal around them to stop the dirt and everything flying into the bed, still got a few more bits n pieces to put on to finish the look of it but bdc have allready said that its not allowed, but i have a secret weapon that i may pull out if i win it rx7 powered b2000 pickup. all id do to it was slam it on its orriginal suspension and fit sum decent shocks..
heres a few pics not done much over last month either from bein ill or just working so much, the skyline tunnel and bulkhead are welded in and just need a bit more work to finish, {} {} got the back tub in n started choping {} {} {} have run outa gas for the welder so i have to wait abit longer till i can get on and start fabricating more bits.
nt that much really just a few small things to do then the chassis is getting a lick of paint. n a few more bits to weld on the cab and then thats getting painted to.
FINALLY had a weekend on the pickup and got the cab mounts on a few other bits welded up. turnt the side of me shed into a door.. {} {} and completey striped the chassis for final welding and paintin. {} {} {} {}
havent been doin to much have been wrking so much latly. i have done the front inner archs and started sorting the rears out put a floor inbetween my suspension supports and mucked around alot..... need to get some wheels 16x10 and 16x8 so i can make the archs then i can paint and refit everything. {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
