Wow, started on the first try! That's incredible!

Looks fantastic- although you owe it to yourself to take pictures with a good camera! I'm sure it looks even better than these pictures make it look! Once you take them, I guess we would be willing to look at them... ;)

Great build, man.
 
Some better pics. Still not quite done but at least I can drive it.

nice :cool:

not that like the steering wheel so much, but hey :cheers:
 
Alignment guy just told me my castor was -3.5 to -4 degrees. After reading other threads it makes sense why the 40 was all over the road at higher speeds.

Just bought some 6 degree castor shims from Orangefj45. That should help quite a bit hopefully.
 
Installed the castor shims today. Happy to say the 40 drives way better. I can cruise on the freeway at 65 and it stays straight. What an amazing difference.
 
Still waiting on the top but it's getting done. Hopefully I'll be picking it up next week. A cruiser without a top is pretty pointless during the winter months in Oregon.

Heater

Jake,
how is that heater-defroster working out for you? Looks clean! Nice work man. Love the color. You shuold post up a better pic of the hood graphics.......

KK.
 
Finally got the top put together. Took a lot longer than I thought. Hopefully we can get the doors done this weekend.

My buddy also got the stereo installed.

You gonna leaf over and reverse that thing or what?
 
Forgot to subscribe so you can tell me when you plan on doing some real mods :D

Haha. Probably should have done the spring over when we had everything torn apart. Oh well. Need to figure something out though cause the right rear is sagging quite a bit.
