I didn't notice the bracket it under it I thought it was a straight bent tube. I was thinking a bent tube would bend under the load of the chutes. But I notice there is some good structure on those last pics. Hoping I could actually help on such an awesome build, but obviously as much time as you put in the shocks alone I'm more than sure you know way way more about this stuff then I do. Keep up the great work man and can't wait to see more.

oh its slammed old school non adjustable frame sit 3" of the ground right now with no motor and flat tires the motor cradle is actually laying on the ground. I'm hoping to get an article on the resurrection and on the truck as its entire life. I plan on in the future tearing the sub wall out and changing up the interior some. Id love to repaint the purple to my own custom mix of orange but doubt I could ever afford that. I just miss having a lowrider truck so much

I have one thought though all the reference pics I can find have the chutes tied directly to the car or right off of it. My thought is to tie in another bar or two from the plate area to the top of the chute bars for extra support.

I don't dare get that detailed, but I got a prewired dist. in a kit and it has a think thread in it. Another method I've used for some detailing is heating sprague (left over part trees) with a lighter and then stretching it out, takes some practice with how much to heat and pull for desired thickness

Biggest problem is the hardner. To much and it sets way to fast and doesn't seem to adhere to the plastic. It breaks off alot when trying to sand smooth on me. To little and it takes a long time to set up sometimes days it seems. It's a trial and error kinda thing. Generally I find you want a darkish gray color for best results, reddish=to much real light gray=to little. The bondo I use is light gray color as to my references. Hope that helps alittle.

I use normal bondo. You can usually get a big bucket cheap

awesome idea, but I gotta say it's almost a shame to put a body on that beautiful frame
