Hang in there man, it will all come together soon enough. It's better to find the mistakes now and not later.

Nice build! I have always wanted to strip and recoat my frame and tub too. Can't wait to see the progress.

Some pics of the body work.

The body needs a couple more weeks. In the mean time we will probably try to get the brakes and power steering finished.

Question: we've been thinking about going the mini truck power steering conversion route. I know the Saginaw has more power and I'll be running 35s but I don't plan on doing any crazy wheeling or anything. You guys think mini truck PS will be sufficient?

It's not too high. Probably just looks that way cause I'm tall. Haha. It's just SUA with shackles.

You will probably hate mini if for going to go that route use the 60 stuff and enjoy the benefits of True power steering it's one part you should never have to change no matter how or where for wheeling changes

Thanks. Yeah after receiving some feedback in another post the mini idea is out.

Man I know it'll all come together soon but I look at it and sometimes it looks like there's so much to do and too little time...and money.

Thanks man! And thanks for the parts! We got the rear torn apart on Sunday and are putting everything together tomorrow night. Power steering and front discs will come a soon enough. Picking up the tub and most of the parts this weekend. Looking forward to having this thing done.
