Anyone want to start a pool on how long devilman can leave the suspension alone?

Very Nice I can not wati to see how many hits this one gets Diablo has thousands and my be the most popular viewing thread of SS history. I still have to find out if my son damaged the front hub of our M1009 when he hydroplained into a curb and bent the rim and blew the tire.

Thanks AM I think the Diablo thread is over 77K views now but I dont think this one will get there. Im doin a lot but Im going fast as snot so less time on the build (2 months vs
, the mods are not as difficult, the trucks not as unusual... Im adding some flare (12 piece minimum) but it should still be pretty cool in the end and inspire a few spin off's im sure.
Will get some pics up tonight, Inside is sandblasted, primed and seam sealed now... Time for bed liner and start putting color on the door jams!

What the heck does that mean? You're going to cover it in tacky buttons?

We call those dingleberries around here. How about DevilMan written across the back glass in foil lettering? Sweet!

you know I should send him some flowers.. I have been picking on him a lot, Kenny too. I guess I just miss all you guys and have not been able to go to any SS events. I'm saving so when I get out I will be able to hit all the events for a year.

The ICOM 706mkII is a good radio...is it the mkII or the mkIIg? The IIg is what I use in the house for the HF rig at this point.

Well the color is dead on... The paint is Sherwin Williams Genius line of automotive paint (urethane). If you ever want to use it expect about a weeks wait for a store to get it in… It’s a flat "hotrod" base mixed to the CARC 383 Green color... After all the work I did on the deuce and the money I spent, that was the first and LAST time I waste my money on a Mil type paint... Less than 2 years later and its already in need of repainting and that was wth spending the cash on hardner and flatening agent to get the finish right!
More sandblasting in process... The driver’s side is done and primed... Passenger side is getting there (damn that’s a slow process)... The rest of the sheet metal will come off soon to be blasted but I’m trying to keep the truck running as long as I can as working late alone makes for moving a dead truck very difficult...
The tailgate in the pic... Sand blasted... Epoxy primed inside and out... Body work, and sheet metal replacement done (8 hours worth) Inside undercoated... Insulation applied to outer skin for heat and noise and now finally paint! Pretty much everything is getting done this way.

IIG ... The nice thing about these is when you open them up your covering as much as you possibly can with a single radio... being that you have dual antenna mounts on the truck and can have 2 antennas, toss in the tuner and your set. Repeater function for talk abouts... and if you had to you can yank it out for a moble...
