Once all the fab work is done are you going to dissassemble it all to prep and paint everything. Like the frame and suspension,etc.? Awesome work.

Not this time, it's just going to get cleaned up and the rattle can treatment so it looks descent. Dads want to drive it . In a couple years after him and mom gets move back to OR and settled again (he just retired), he wants to do the full frame off and do all the paint and body. Atleast all the fab work will be done .

Got some more done on it. Got the tail pipe built out the back and then striped everything off the back half of the frame and gave it a down and dirty rattle can makeover. I'm pretty much done out back except for some wiring for the solenoids and the tail lights

I temporally hooked up the switch box for the bags to see how they work and WOW, I'm gona have to put some flow restriction in them or something, It goes from completely flat to hitting the chain limiters in about a sec, You can't hit the button fast enough to get it right where you want them,

Looks damn nice. As for speed, try using smaller valves/line.

Its amazing what a little elbow grease and some paint can do. The suspension looks real good. Nice work.

I did use the 3/8 valves instead of 1/2 thinking it would be slower, but its still pretty fast. Probable should have just ran 1 line for the rear 2 valves and 1 for the front instead of a line for each. I'm gona wait till I get it all back to gather and the bed on it and see how fast and abrupt it is and then see about some flow restrictors. They make adjustable one's but there $25 a pop and I'd need 4, so I'll probable just get some couplers and weld them up and drill different size holes in them till I get a fill rate I'm happy with.
