1980 Plymouth Airrow! Chopped, Dropped, and Bodydropped!

[xlowerx]

My old DFWminis thread has been long gone and I had a request for my building photos.

I will post up when I get time.. starting from when I picked up the truck.. to how she is now!! I will make a few side notes or stories along the way.

Thanks for checking out my Airrow!!

[Uncle Spence]

You need to give more of a timeline of when everything came along. Great pics though! What stage are you at now?
I live in Brazos county so if you go to a car show in Austin, or my direction, you should let me know. I'd like to see your truck and mods in person.

[xlowerx]

I'll update the first post with a timeline.


Here are more photos!

[geezer101]

And I'm looking at how low the rocker sills are to the ground thinking "how the hell did he do it?". Damn :shock:. Serious...hours...of...labour (and some bloodshed in the process). What is your background? Are you a metal fabricator by trade (or a Jedi or something?) This kind of modification could easily go wrong in the hands of someone who doesn't know exactly what they're in for. Bravo :clap:

[xlowerx]

Haha Jedi mini trucker!

I'm a Land Surveyor but I like to metal fabricate as a hobby. This is the first truck that I've done about 95% of all the work myself. She is still very rough but I'm hoping this year to finally finish the truck with full interior and paint.

I will continue posting more photos from my Photobucket from the Journey of me and my little Plymouth Arrow!!

[dash]

Now that's goin HARD in the paint! No stone unturned. Hella cool truck (and renderings)

[86goldmightymax]

Awesome Build!! I was floored by the pictures What are specs on your wheels? offset and such

Thanks, Mike

[tortron]

probably a long time ago now, but on the first few pictures what was the tray cover? just a sheet of metal sat ontop?

very cool work

[pennyman1]

You need to get the hot wheels version of the d-50 - it is a high-jacker, which lets you set the rear height of the truck like your real one.
