Not hatin', gonna do the same thing with my Merc when its time, but I'm gonna color match it. It was built to be used, I'm goning to use it. I haul all kinds of stuff with my uni to.....not a lot, it bottoms out easy, but it does haul stuff!

Any spring shop, truck shop, should be able to make you new u-bolts to your spec.

Wow, that's nice work! And now I know how to fix my Merc tail gate.

I should say, the otside wheel will catch before the inside on a turn. The rear of the wheel will catch the fender on a hard turn.

Yup, top of the apex, on the inside, only when turned. I can run down the roughest road with no issue, other then the rear bottoming.....but my Mark VIII rear will fix that. The front ends were all the same, except some had steel and some had aluminum components. Not sure what went where and why, ju...

They're off an '06. Apparently that was the year the brakes got bigger and 17" is the smallest I can put on. |For an offset measurement, you'll have to wait til the weekend when I head to my 'other house' and grab one of the extra rims I have. Danimal, do a search, you'll find a few builds on h...

Yup, front is stock CVPI, stock springs and no notch in the frame. I was going to lower it, but not going to do tthat now. Will eventually bag it similar to sin-bin. Right now the rear is a late 90's Explorer rear with disk brakes flipped to the top of the axel. I'm running 17x9 cragars on the rear ...

The fronts rub just barely, and only on full lock coming up the curb. Its in storage right now but I think I have 235/55/17 on the front. Pretty sure I could get away with a 235/50/17.

CV swap on my 62 uni, stock 17" CV wheels painted tremclad recreational white.



just for reference...

WOW!! That is pretty!

I had no idea you could do that with the easy off over cleaner. now I know what I'm doing this winter!

Sorry, My missunderstanding! I can't show mine cause it doesn't line up worth a dam either!

Agreed, if your front mounts are gone, you'll have a wedge shaped gap at the cowl, and at the doors. The gap will be tight at the top and wide at the bottom. It would be pretty tough to bend that top filler peice.

Maybe its the late night beer....but I was just thinking, your truck and mine are like photo negatives of each other. Yours white with red gril, mine red with white grill....Just an observation!

Thats it! I'm doing my Uni over again! After watching all the builds here, I'm less than impressed with mine.....

Very nice!! Love the door stenciles!

Great Job!! The before and after is always cool to see. And the Mustang is sweet too!

That looks absolutley awesome! love the blue and white roof, the wheels really set it off to! Great job!

BUT, gotta ask for a pic of the coupe....since you just teased us with it!

Holy sugar cubes thats nice metal work (prefer not to swear and thats as nice as I can do...) Second on the projects section, lots of cutom trucks on bags in there. Its where my ideas came from anyway.

Wow! That happened to me when I rewired my IHC, ammeter shorted and let out a TON of smoke! No more ammeter in anything for me!

haven't seen what you're going to do, but I used a spacer made out of 3/4" MDF as a spacer between my cluster and bezel. And what year cluster is that? Its differnent from my 06, mine has the tach in it.
