[bluehawk]

Getting some of the panels put back on. Also getting ready to do my brake system. Upgrading to a 2013 Tundra brake booster with a Dodge 2500 diesel MC. Brake lines will be stainless.

Decided to do a little bodywork that was driving me crazy looking at it. Doesn’t look like much but I feel it finishes the body off. There was a noticeable space between the body and the frame, so I decided to weld a piece in both locations.

That looks so much better

Time to have the axles rebuilt. Got both pulled out from the 40 and ready to finish weld everything

Its been awhile since an update. The axles are pretty much complete except mounting up the rotors and calipers. Got a new powder coat gun and tried it out on calipers and mounting brackets. I'll post up some pictures later on. Not much else going on with the build. Been busy making signs and coating some motorcycle frames. I really need to get back after it and finish this project up.

Coming along nice!
Can’t wait to see the axle pics when done.

Hurry up and finish the build so you can sell to me.
