couple updates... cant get a 30 series to fit on my wheels, so I got pretty small 35s... less than an inch of difference, and it fits under the hood so its all good

got everything cut out on the waterjet, it wont be long until its rolling

we finished assembling the cantilever arm for the drivers side, it still needs to be ground, cleaned, sharpened, and painted, but this is where we are
2:1 cantilever, re-7 bag in the back... any ideas on how to paint them?

the poly melted when we welded the pivot in, but it only melted a little... that stuff smells HORRIBLE... problem is solved tho.

the JB is a photoshoped DW Drums logo I changed to my initials... im a big DW fan

Yeah that would look good....like the newer eclipse orange and maybe like a HOK a PC8 over bc26 for the white

or maybe an alsa APB-15 white pearl.....killer colour and no yellow like most white pearls.

how do you figure out the ratio?

the distance from the center pivot, to the center of the bag is the A side and the distance from the center pivot to the down arm is the B side. if the A side is 10 inches and the B side is 20 then you have a 2:1 ratio lift or if the B side would be at 15 inches you have a 1.5:1 ratio.



this one here is for my friends truck and it has a 1:1.4 ratio
