Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Lloyd's paint & glass, Jul 1, 2024.

  1. Picking up a set of 56 skirts
    Looking for drop spindles, zero or close to zero offset discs
    A better rear gate
    P***enger side front upper trim-4 door.
    I’ve got 3 nice 57 factory AC vents. Would trade for 55/56 ones
    Still haven’t got a sedan front seat frame

    Man, that is definitely a nice way to do the floor. I know it isn’t cheap, but sure saves tons of labor and time.

    $700, had free shipping. Sherman I believe, the rocker kit was almost that much, it came from golden star. The floor braces came from golden star also. I need the rear floor, but I'm thinking flat 16 or 18 gauge from metal depot. I don't need a spare tire well.

    Where were you when I did my 56 with the floor from a donor car? Oh, I know, you was that person that called the police on me because of all the noise I was making in the apartments with an air chisel circa late 80’s.

    Lmao! My air chisel bit the dust last night... I've had that thing for 35 years. I had to finish cleaning up the floor supports the old fashioned way.

    I don't like them . I've used them though. This wagon is being wet blasted. Waiting on the mobile sandblasting company to come do it.

    Mine is a 2 door handyman. But the windows have been removed and filled, same way my 57 was. It has the clam shell tailgate setup. 20210724_192514.jpg 20210603_134631.jpg
