Hello, I am Brandon Spencer. I am 16 years old. I have been working on cars since I was born basically. The project that I am working on at the moment is a Datsun 521 pickup. I am in the process of putting an air-ride suspension on it, this will be allowing it to lay frame. At the moment I have the rear suspension just about done, I had to build a custom upper wishbone, frame notches, shock mounts, cross members, and all suspension mounts. The front isn't quite done yet but is getting there, I had to cut a spring pocket in the frame, custom upper a-arm mount, custom airbag mounts. I also made custom aluminum door panels and I’m working on a custom dash. All work is done by myself... welding, grinding and fabrication. In the end it will be shot with a satin black and pinstriped with blood red.
