Yeah, but I DD, and I get sick of puddles everywhere I stop.  Makes this thing really look like a hoopty.

[CrazyYota]

might get a sweet firstgen!!! 82 with lifted and good flex!! 

[Duffil]

Hey DAVE here's some more of what I pass off as fab work for you to laugh at. 

[Duffil]

I went the CTENG route here.  I scored this thing barely used and it has way more power than I thought it would.  230v unit.
My new toy:


And the truck:

What are those contraptions? lol

[Jud]

The square things.

[CrazyYota]

sup Duffil

your truck looks pimp with the rollbar!!

[Duffil]

If you look closely in the truck pics, you will see the rear bar does not meet the fenderwell.  These have to make up the difference. 

Booty Fab at it's finest!

[83yota]

thanks man.   The foam came from Ace Hardware.  something like this

[*** YELLER ***]

those look great Rex but fer those like me that dont know      why the foam.

[Duffil]

I did it to deaden sound and provide a little additional interior support. 

[Wermz84]

The doors are looking good.     thanks for the pics.   I like seeing how it was done.
