OK, Coming along great! I'm just about at rust eater/ body filler stage, I've working like a trojan on these panels, with all the black primer im going through, we'll be going all black soon!



All the layers of body filler!



My First F$%#&%^$*^@$^%$&%$^&**&!!!!!! Moment, I'm tring to get this thing to sit, I've relocated both the leaves, however the shackle keeps inverting, I'm thinking if i load them with a G clamp, they'd extend, my shackle would work, but with no weight on there it would invert again...
I could go leaf over then run an inverted shackle, or I Could move the rear mount forward.

ultimately we will have a coil sprung rear, but I'd like to make stage 1 a simple restoration.

Default Ok, Bugger it!

I couldn't be arsed to waste time relocating the spastic rear shackle hanger, I've Got a pretty technical link set up happening here I've got the numbers pretty close to how I want them... If there is enough demand for an explaination of the numbers I'll consider making a full in depth write up of the workings of triangular 4 link...

This looks remarkably different to most 4 link set ups.. but that's my plan It's very nice to be building off a bare cab chassis... all the other stuff get's to be intergrated around the raw capability of the truck... still trying not to go down th Truggy path.. For now
