-------------------UNDER CONSTRUCTION--------------------------

Hello, My name is Tyler Brooks, i'm 21 years old from Duncan, British Columbia, Canada. I've recently started building a new ride to follow up on my s10. It's a 91 Mazda B2200 (short box, reg cab). My plans are for it to be completely for show, not to be the lowest or anything like that, just clean and smooth with lots of detail. Mostly trailered to the states for shows but i'll cruise it on the weekends to shows around here on the island. I picked it up off a guys front yard for 400$, it was pretty wrecked. Hoping to have it completed by 2007 show season, but not rushing it.

Heres some pics and info of the build, i'll try and keep it updated when i have the time so check back

The Truck Is being Built By Myself And Devin Morgan at One Off Customs

(UPDATE DECEMBER 20th 07)

Well got some more stuff done over the summer and fall, i know its been awhile, the truck is currently being smoothed out and painted. I have gotten more plating done on the motor and did all my airline in copper then had them chrome plated, we also finished the box, shaved the underside of it and did the taillights, and we also made a sheetmetal Dash and console. anyways, heres some pics

(UPDATE May 21st 07)

Its been a little while, in this time i've been workin on the motor and transmission. got them all painted and detailled, got a few more thing on the motor to do, need to get a weber carb and get the 2 pullies, alternator bracket, and the valve cover chromed which i will get done soon. also need to get the steering links chromed, i've got all my airline just need to run it. and i also need to take my driveshat and gas tank out to powder coat. it's gettin closer, heres a few pics.

(UPDATE March 12th 07)

So i got my frame rollin todad, got all the front and rear susupension installed, bags, and wheels. the fronts hubs are dirty, thats because i'm gettin new billet ones with 12.2 rotors and wilwood calipers. Tony from Phatty Fabs in Calgary is making them for me. Gonna start workin on the motor next, getting it painted and put back together, thats about all for now, let me know what u think of the frame and suspesion. ill get a few pics of it outside the first chance i get.

(UPDATE MARCH 3rd 07)

Ok so heres the latest. I just got my suspension back from the chromer, came out really nice. I had the upper and lower control arms, 4 link, strut bars, york bracket, and a few little things done and all the harware, for a total of 2700$. heres a few pics of the chrome. I'm just waiting to get my rear axle back and then i'll get my chassis rollin and then take a few pics, later.

(UPDATE DECEMBER 24th 06)
I just got the frame back from powercoat. We completely shaved the frame except for a few holes upfront and 1-2 in the back to run wiring threw. I had it powdercoated a off white creame. I know it looks like a weird color but it will really really look awesome the red body goes on it. The frame, rearend, spindles, tranny mount, and engine crossmember have been coated. I am now waiting on getting the link bars, control arms and a few more things to get chromed so i can start putting it back together.

(UPDATE Novenber 9th 06)
Ok, did a few more mods over the summer,we shaved the corner lights and added the grille and a one off streched Grant Kustoms front bumper. Got the engine fitted, we have shaved a bunch more little things. For the last couple motchs we have been goin a little slow, been workin on the suicide doors which have been a hassle but they are almost finished. I have been ordering parts for the dash, such as a Flaming River polish steering column, alpine indash DVD, and all the window cranks and handles. Once it all arrives we will begin the dash which we are building from scratch out of fiberglass, thats all for now, heres some pics.

(Update June 27th 06)
