Where did you get the front QA1 suspension from that is a cool bolt on piece

What are your impressions of the Unisteer kit? Install ok? What steering column are you using with it?

Thanks for the feedback! I've been looking at this kit for awhile.

Great project…

The forward mount for the traction bars are of concern to me. It looks like the bracket is welded to the floor and it is in single shear. I have a feeling that as soon as you have one hard launch the bracket will rip from the floor or the bolt will bent. It should be mounted in double sheer and attached to the front leaf spring mount.

Agreed, luckily it's an easy fix! Glad someone else caught that.

Love the red and the meats on the rear. Keep up the great work.

I'm liking this. Would like more pics on the process of fender & quarter flaring. Cool work!

It is attached (or was) to the frt leaf eye mount & torque box. Kinda moot now as it looks like he changed out the leafs for the chassisworks 4-link coilover.

Isis / Infinitybox works, LED Trucklights running

[Justin@EntropyRad]

cool color scheme, and I dig the trucklights...why the red in the negative areas on the motor..just for kicks?

Looks like it was done for oil shedding/drainback purposes.

I've worked for years in transportation and for career reasons these days I leave for work way early each Monday morning and return home after dark on Fridays. Those Trucklite headlights are rapidly gaining favor among fleets because truck drivers do an incredible amount of their work during the night...you can really pick them out as you meet them on the road.
