Smooth, custom and off to sand blast. This chassis has some pitting in the tunnel that we needed to nuetralize and will apply a filler to the areas to make them super smooth. Powder coat is coming, be on the look out![[posterous-content:pid___0]]

Air ride install is next.
[[posterous-content:pid___0]]We purchased a set of pan halves from a company who imports them from Denmark. Not real happy with them, on a scale of 1-10, they are probably a 4. Almost unusable. We came to the determination that we would use the original versions and just use parts of them Danish pans. So we cut off the mounting flange, e-brake handle bracket, heater outlets and brake line holders. We will outfit with the goods shortly.

We started by hot tanking the beam to remove all the grease and grime to allow for a clean precise job. If you have a stripping company near you, it’s worth it to have them do it. $20 later, we are ready to go.
Consider buying a beam from Pete at Airkewld. He can set you up with all you need [leaves, tie-rods, balljoints, etc.]. Although more expensive that the DIY suggestion from an earlier poster, it’s nice to have something designed and built to all work together. After having issues with another beam, I got one from Pete and haven’t been happier. I had originally considered Airkewld, but decided to save a few bucks and went with a cheaper solution. Lesson learned. -jeffrey
This is what makes us tick. Satisfied Customers = Smiling Faces @ Airkewld.

Gary has decided to go gloss black on the chassis with some red accents and chrome details through out. Should be nice, will be an understatement.
