Thank you Grendels,
Placement for the hydro pumps in the main bed. I was going to place them under the truck along the frame rails but think ill just go with this type of layout.

You machine your own stuff? I'm jealous. Looks Killer!

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

Thanks CTSpeedshop, yeah i bought a lathe a year or so ago but did not realize how hard it is to actually machine parts. Just buying the lathe does not make an instant machinist I found out. My parts still need some cleaning up, I need to work on polishing them while they are still turning, I'm learning thou, but generic pulleys are pretty easy to do. Someday want to try to make a set of rotors....

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

Thanks guys.
decided to cut the foam open at the bottom of the trailer to let some grass show.......

Re: Aztec Warrior 1950 Ford Lowrider Custom

pretty much the final layout for the beds, really itching to get this one done, i have reached the point of being tired of it and want to get on to the egytian raider build.


and the detail pops out after a coat of primer on the interior foam...

the grey is not the finished color on the stone work, im shooting to get a tan color out of the stonework kind of the shade the pyramid is colored in the bed of the pickup...

Did a quick mock up after finalizing the hinges and getting the foam cut out to accept the hinges...
