Nice! Always wanted to build a bagged hard body .. one of these days I will lol
Turbo Rotary Mazda Minitruck Build
- Thread starter mymmeryloss
- Start date
With enough beer, it can be done.
If i could afford it right now i would for sure!Fly me out! I shall be of assistance
Even though I'm like, the least qualified person on the boards for that s**t. Lol
Moral support man.
Do it! My buddies hardbody was on the cover of Minitruckin magazine last month.
I saw szady and was like wtf? I know that motherfucker...Dude be all stalking me on Instagram and s**t...shm. Damn...
Ive been trying to stay away from beer during garage time. Sometimes its a distraction. One or two is good to get comfortable and keep the shakes down while cutting and welding though.
So ive been doing lots of thinking and not much work to the truck.
I figure i need to chill the f**k out. I made a list and it freaked me out, so i got rid of half of the list.
Im pretty confident the truck will make the show but wont be anywhere close to where i wanted it. It should be interesting. Thank God for the holiday week so i can have some time to spend in the garage and to spend with the family.
So to whoever cares about the problems i am having and how to fix them i am going to tell you this-- you can never have too much bracing and gussets.
One of the problems i was having was that when i put air to the rear bags they wanted to flop sideways on me. The reason being is that the new "arms i built for the rear werent connected so there would always be movement.
So i cut two pieces of tubing to tie each bar together and now the rear is solid. Overlooking small things like this are almost the death of me.
But i never give up and im not letting this truck beat me!

Awesome work as usual man. But yeah, just take a step back, do things one by one. You got dis shiet!
Im still pretty stressed. I dont want to take a skeleton truck to the show but im committed.
Im still waiting for one of those lol
when building things from scratch, you will usually encounter dumb issues. just the nature of the beast!
Its to be expected but i shouldnt be having this many issues being this close to "done"

BOAT KNIGHT!
really cool build man. ill be following this for sure!
really love that rear tubing setup, glad you figured out your bag issues. and wish I could have swung by while i was in CO this past week. Pikes Peak highway was dope.
Thanks man. Big changes coming after this show next week
Well i really didnt get all the issues worked out. The front still isnt right but i have some ideas when i get back.
As of right now i think the truck will go on a trailer but im not happy with how it sits.
Should be an interesting trip.
