Point of this topic is to answer alot of the overly asked questions that are asked every other day or so. so this is what info from everyone and me that i have on the topic. remember there is more than one way to do everything thus i have used several diffrent ways in some cases. i want to keep the BSing out of here just strickly keep it down to the answers. if theres something missing just let me know in here or PM me and ill add it when i get the chance Table of Contents- (in post order, was going to be page by page but first off still on page 1 and in 6 monthes the tucking section may be all the way on page 3.... so im going with the order of posts) 1- Tucking 2- Folding door tops 3- Dimpleing 4- BumBer Info 5- Leafing 6- Tilting 7- Kicking the springs 8- Hard Noseing (to add) 9- Wireing (to add) 10- Doubleing Tires (to add) TUCK- measure from floor to rain lip, then measure from the end of the trunk lid. mark and cut the "skeleton" of the trunk lid. use a long block over the fenders and close the lid, folding it into a 90 degree angle. mark the rain lip where the lid will close and slice it so it drops down (or cut the lid its self) press lid down- then i like to add bolts around the rain lip- then in the end it will make your car turn from red to grey ;D You can see how I pulled it under on this one. I will get some better ones too Good explanation tude. . Im pretty ocd the only thing i do different is cut the corners off the very back edge of the trunk. I have had them push through the fender wells towards the tirea. I also like to tak a ratchet strap from inside the car to the bottom edge and pull it forward so the rear surface is squared up before i weld it down wedging against the floor. I think it makes it a little more of a wall when it comes up. But thats just me.

im new to derbying andim wanting to learn how to get the trunk lid and speaker deck so low to where it is almost laying on the trunk floor area this one is just by sledge hammer with speaker deck in By travi__157 at 2012-01-22 this one was with back hoe speaker deck still in By travi__157 at 2012-01-22 this one had speaker deck cut out trunk moved forwards welded to out side body then shoved down with a jack bc it would just bounce with a sledge hammer then welded to body where the speaker deck would cover and welded in back of trunk area and strapped to bumper By travi__157 at 2012-01-22 By travi__157 at 2011-09-29 By travi__157 at 2012-01-22

How to do it? If you have a bob cat it helps, if not get a good group of friends, a big ol sledge and take turns letting it rip till you get it where you want it.

Do you cut anything out under neath the trunk? Ive tried dishing a trunk and only got it about 40% of the way thats just by sledge hammer. Any input would be great. Ryan

on the third car on my pictures i cut the underside of the flap that is bent down from factory and made the the whole thing flat to get farther inside the cab part of the car other than that i dont cut anything if leaving the speaker deck in the top two cars were bent under on my bubbles i have cut the flap off every time
box fords are easier to get that far down than bubbles
