buddies 81 buildup( finished truck pics)

[toymachine]

we couldn't work on in our shop in highschool.  it was pretty retarded.  Found a place here at the college though, but nothing compared to what you guys got.  Cherrish it.....looks awesome...you guys are quick.  Good luck

[To The Floor]

Yeah it is definitely such a privilege to have such a nice shop and all these tools right there for us.  Once we graduate we're gonna be like man we didn't realize how nice having that shop really was, except for the fact that my dad and I are going to open one of our own and it's going to have nicer tools, and be a lot cleaner.  But yeah it's definitely a privilege to have a big shop with tons of tools in highschool.  Being second year kicks  too because the first year guys are in the classroom going through the book and watching videos while we're in the shop listening to music, chewin' seeds and BS'n...while getting work done on our trucks.  Anyways...we'll get some new pics up soon!

I did almost nothing to my truck in high school.  While all my friends saved their money for parts, I spent mine on food and gas for the Rubicon.  Wish I would have been in auto and used their tools while I had the chance.

[Skinny_Pedal]

i got nothing done today. we had to setup tools for the 1year students. so maybe tomarrow i will have something to show

G-town, you didn;t take ROP?  You missed a great time.  Mr. Schmidt egts mad ans throughs toosl areound the room.  It's pretty funny.  He is actually liking my flatbed project though.

Alright people. My suspension is up and I'm going back to school tomorrow with my new gearing and lockers. I promise some new pix will be up showing the front suspension mounted and all the other goodies. I'm going to push on this thing for at least 6 hours a day. So dont get discouraged and keep checking back on the progress.

TTF Fabrication rolled his truck. Can we have a moment of silence? We're going to retrieve it with a trailer 2 days after I'm posting this, so we'll start a new forum about the aftermath and progress with a link somewhere to follow

How bad, easy flop fixable or hard roll totally f*d?  BTW sorry to hear it Nick

[SWAMPER]

Dude that totally sucks Im sad to hear it....hope your ok and keep your chin up 

[To The Floor]

It's totalled.  Cab is smashed in, bed is gone, both front fenders are gone, part of the grill, passenger door.  It is all body damage to my knowledge.  I checked motor mounts and they're cool, it drives fine and runs good.  I drove it 40 miles after the rollover, but you'll be surprised I did when you see the pictures.

That sucks that truck was cherry

[Skinny_Pedal]

[MUDJUNKY]

i would like to tag along on the maiden voyage also.  good luck getting the rest of your truck together

[81RockerToy]

I'm still up in the air about getting rid of the bed. I have some pretty cool ideas about bobbing, ducktailin, and widening the wheel wells right now. but I'm still giving it thought. As far as the maiden voyage, we're getting real close. We're located in Kirkland, and most liekely going to Reiter for the first trip. Leave an email or just keep checking the posts and we'd love to get another trail buddy.

[MUDJUNKY]
