Getting Started

After we removed the body from the frame, some of the Welding students boxed parts of the frame, and made a few repairs. Then, we sent it out to be sandblasted and powder-coated. When the frame got back, the first component we installed was the air suspension from Air Ride Technologies. We had to cut the frame's upper coil spring mounts in order for the new air springs to clear. Even though the installation manual gave instructions on the procedure, we were pretty nervous about slicing on our freshly powder-coated frame! But it turned out to be fairly painless. Next on the list is our disc brake conversion kit.
