Here are some pics of my half cab that I am building in the "prerunner" theme...

Thanks for the Early Bronco addition!

Cool build!!! I like the front shock hoops. Simple and effective. Is there something to keep them from rocking in and out?

Because the mounts are on so completely different planes they don't rock at all. I know they look like they might they don't.

Damn - looking cooler and cooler the more pics I see.

How far along in the process are you and how long have you been working on the project?

Been at it since July 10....Working on other peoples Eb's has kept the process slow. There's lots of things that murder time that I have done you really don't see. Replacing floor boards, modifying the rocker panels, filling holes in the frame/body, or aligning the body panels. My goal is start on body work here in a month. This is intended to be a rolling "business card" so I want lots of detail and fabwork. My goal is to literally build everything in-house if possible......

Good plan and it should work well for a business card.

I'm doing the same but it's not a business. it already gets me lots of "oh - can you build this for me" type questions I have to turn down.
