finally,got the exhaust fab’ed n in. took it right out to the rear bumper. yeah, nope! muffler’s gotta be installed, sounds like a little tractor at idle, get on the stupid pedal n holy fawk!!! sounds like a mouthy 16 yr old punk ricer. which by the way, we got too many runnin’ round as it is. tomorrow evenin’s doings.
if plans don’t go awry, should be drivin’ it this comin’ weekend
i likey!!! third border option is my choice in the blue. that hammer is smokin’. would be cool hood art or a door logo
last nite was spent mining thru the stockpile o’parts. found the brand new brake backing plates for the rear axle. should have confirmation tomorrow of the part #s if they are the correct ones. i believe they are. even managed to put my hands on that vent pc that toys-n-yotas needs for redee. bits n pieces of exhaust tube came crawlin’ to the surface which were immediately captured for tonites festivity’s.
tonite saw the exhaust craved out n replacement laid out for fabrication. when i drove it home on sunday the exhaust note was not too bad just off the cat. sooo… i’m doin’ a muffler delete. it might be a mistake with about 3′ of tail pipe. will worry about it then.
thanks ryan, the frame, despite needin’ a small patch, is titties compared the one under the 4xtra or the xtracab in the shop. it’ll take me longer to get the tank out of the way than to effect the patch.
sas? it’s always a possibility, but as of right now the probability of that is lower than winning the lottery. i need something that’s ready to rock at the drop of a hat whether that be wheelin’ or work. i’m aiming to have no mod tie it up for more than one day
evan, look on the right handside of the 1st pic n you’ll see the flank of the original dragonship, the 4xtra. and there’s an xtra cab in the shop, mid dismantle, so 4
thanks tom, n steve,thanks for having my back.
some one asked for details

it’s bare bones stripped out model vinyl/rubber floor mats. i gotta start eating spinach…armstrong power steering!!! the P.O. built a rectangular tube rear bumper with wrap around n rockers cut
upon prepurchase inspection , i’m figuring brakes, exhaust n a small frame patch is what’s required for safety. startin’ on ‘er tonight.
i have to keep tellin’ myself..”NO MODS ‘TILL IT’S ON THE ROAD”
safety prep will be documented in this thread then i’ll start a build thread
there you go ya reprobates. thanks to our interweb guru. we’ll see how long i can retain the procedure
