you're never gonna finish the truck if you keep doing that crap. that's what happened to me and i got burnt out.

Its not very often you see a guy take the extra time to put a little art and style into their work instead of just doing what's needed to get the job done. Hell most guys barely do the minimum let alone pay any attention at all to detail.......Its a pretty rare thing for me to say, but nice work.

Posted: Fri Dec 02, 2011 12:11 am

itll be a while before i get burnt out man if ever lol
but detail is what makes stuff matter.
its done for 20's now but i wanna take this thing as far as it can go... to a point ya know?

i agree. not everyone gets burned out. ive been working on mine for 11 years on and off. redid it 3 times. its still just as fun as day 1. its getting pushed aside for the most part now due to new projects coming up. anyway, sorry to jack thread. killer work man

Now for the seat brackets. These are civic seats that john is recovering for me. They needed custom brackets sooo here are some custom seat brackets for ya

Shortened connecting rods taht bolt to the outside track and then the holes for the cap bolts have been drilled and tapped for a 3/8 x 16 thread bolt

drillling mounting holes etc..

you can kinda see the rods in this pic towards the bottom

there was a radius on the floor that wouldnt allow the inside mount to side flush so i made pieces to move the mounting hole over.

the one side has a 1/4 in thread in it to allow it to bolt to the seat track and this side is the 3/8 x 16 for the "cap bolts"

a front clip patch

here are a few misc pics too

\
here is my dads truck after a day in the mud

This is The Daily Driver !!

Lets wrap this up with the truth shall we??

Let me know what you guys think sorry I havent been on in like 6 months progress is slow now i have a lot going on but ill update when i can!
