I see you made the bumper sorta like the old chevy i showed you! looks great!
The only thing i would have done, was weld the bumper onto some brackets and mounted it on the frame. The way a tail gate could be installed if need be.

lol i just have it sitting there for a mock up tbp, its going to be bolted to the frame

I seen white and shiny spots and assumed flux welded together lol

na, sandin desc on the grinder, was cleanin up the edges


general message to all readers.
i did a quick sketch on paint of how im envisioning the frame extension

just figured i'd recommend some tires haha
LINK

those tires are more expensive than the budget i have on this build

well, didn't get to work on it today, family stuff was going on, but tomorrow ima cut the linkages to the tranny off and move the thing up under the carport, its got a slab floor that is level.

well, here is a mock up.....11' 2", and i still got to do the bumpers and all

just a small update pic of a huge mower

Richie invents the 40 foot flatbed....

Good lookin frame Richie... you figure what to do for the cab yet?

Just bad to the bone.... Cant wait to see this on all 6!!!

its sad that ive added that much to it, and it still is 200 lbs lighter than with the big hydro that was in it ,
same here red, im reasy to see it on all 6.
lawren, the cab is going to be on down the road, ive got plans, but im more interested in getting the frame built and getting it mobile at the moment. just let it be known that its gettin a cab that a fat kidd will be comfortable in

It's missing something.... hmmm.... cant quite put my finger on it...

motor? second tranny? the leafs? the fenders? the bed? lol

got a lead on a tranny for this, ill find out bout it this week,
need more steel,. prolly getting a motor from lawren. amazing how far this thing has come in 3 days

been a while since i looked....damn! lol Its looking good so far!

Richie, you need to remove the rear pan, cut it up, and use the fenders for the front wheels... They have the correct "Deuce" look...

That is an interesting idea though, too bad you don't have a second set of fenders.

a second set would have been nice, but it worked out fine, im mounting a small helium tank under each fender, one is for storage, the other is my on board air tank

Cut it! DO it! aincha done yet?

got some work dont on the bed/bumper mount today, and i melted a dewalt drill bit
