The Adventures of Fronti and Yota

My "new" project:





needs to some work, if anyone knows where i can get a new drivers door, a fuel door, and a passenger tail light, lemme know.

Good little project. Wouldn't mind one myself

Is that Clayton's old truck?

Sure is dmac. Hes had it since high school and it's been sittin up since probably stc last year. I guess he just isn't into minis anymore. I feel like it part of the family since it was one of the first trucks we dropped so I couldn't let it get sold to some stranger. So I jumped on it. May not be pretty but it's the start of an awesome project.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you give for it.

1400

Not bad at all man. Whats the next step for the Yota

And I only gave thy much bc he is a friend. Anyone else woulda got the cold shoulder heh

Get the steering linkage fixed bc it's like trying to steer a unicycle, new door, pull some dents, polish out the bumper, shoot some primer... Simple stuff. Either way I will have te linkage fixed, i don't care if it still looks like shit for stc.

Thats whats up for sure.

post some pics up of the progress ryan. glad the truck is in good hands...i remember dropping that one. it definitely has potential. i hope clay isn't out of minis for good tho...does it still need a fuel tank?

hell yeah!!!

Yes it does Aaron. Or I jus need to drain, clean and dry it so I can weld it up. But that putty shit is wOrkin fine for now. I'll certainly get a build with pics and progress goin

yea man when clay still had it i tried to give him a gas tank for it for free if he would come down and help me take it out of my parts truck...but he never said anything else about it, i guess he just lost interest. hopefully he'll get another one someday

what all did you have to replace up front? and you may wanna either cut out the inner fenders or raise the front up a little bit cause i remember the tires rubbed bad on that thing cause it was dropped so much

Asshole wish he woulda got that tank. Oh well. I haven't got under tree to check out the a frontut end but I am raising the front to level it with the back and to cut the fender wells. Way too much rub

i kinda remember him saying he "flipped" the "stock spindles"? call me dumbass if im wrong, and i know it has torsions.....

Ryan we should go ahead and bag your truck to lay on the tires so the expensive stuff will be out of the way. What do you think? and who's trick is the yota?

you can't flip spindles but he does still have the stock ones. he just had the torsion bars loosened all the way, which gave it a super shitty ride. he had it lowered too much in the front

the truck belongs to james i think

Here's the deal. Weather than having the truck sit around and ruin, I talked clay into lettin me try to sell it for him in picayune. Well James wants it so he's paying the notes on it. So it's mine until he starts paying them. But I'm down for baggin my fronti asap heh. Aaron, I've never paid attention to the front bag setup with tortions. There's no spring mount so I wanna check yours out to get a better idea of how the front end works.

yeah i kinda guessed at it, you can do so much shit to trucks i never know what to think, like redrilling hangers and shit. for some reason i thought he fliped something

it's really simple to bag the torsion bar trucks...just take those out, weld in two bag mounts, trim some shit, and that's it. i'll get you to come over next time i'm working on it so you can see in person

Ok awesome

Fixin that linkage!
