project nightmare build-up

Nice! I dig the wood frame table also. Your lever system, is it a 1:1 ratio? I see you're using alot of bushings for everything. Are they all the same size? Are the bushings in the suspension the same size you're using to mount the body?

it like 1.5:1. i didn't have as much room as i would have like in the end for the system. yeah most of the bushing are the same size all 2" other then the outer one on the arms. those are only 1.125"

started the battery and compressor mounts







ran into a problem putting the core-support on. i have to clearance the frame a little:

well here are a couple picture of the truck layed out on the ground at a local show:





back to work on it now. got the frame all disassembled and start the fun process of finishing all the little things
