A[ATTACH] Start of a rear quarter. I'm guessing that if I use a portion of the B post as the rear section of the RPU cab I should probably remove...
I should be able to make two decent fronts out of the 3 fronts and 1 rear I have. Drug home the bead roller tonight and will test fire it...
I'm in for a follow. If the planets align I'll see that thing fling sand. "Insert Epic Quote Here"
Even contemplated doing a sort of sedan truck like this one, but am not subtler if there is enough decent metal for the rear section and radius...
Interesting point and I'd never thought of that. The top if the doors are the part that is actually in good shape and don't need repair. My...
Saw this thing today and DAMN that body is so nice. That car is going to be beautiful and that Color is bad ass. Nuf said. "Insert Epic Quote Here"
Thanks to General gow here on the forum I traded off some parts for the rusty remains of a slant window 4 door sedan. First off he's a damn nice...
No large gains today, got my wishbones prepped and angled for the front end, de arched some springs for the front and got my 9" sat under the ass...
Awesome build and thanks for the motivation!!! Got the rear end sat under my frame and everything prepped for my split wishbone and its now...
Coworker had this gen II small block in her basement. This will likely end up in the back if my truck soon. [ATTACH] "Insert Epic Quote Here"
Haha. Sure did. The damn thing even said it in the Q and A section a and clearly didn't read that. Couple to many beers and ordering parts on the...
Good point. I've been helping a local 18 year old and doing rear quarters on his chevelle in my "free time" for the cost of materials.
Cool deal. I agree with what many have said. Start researching and keep the stock model a frame and make a lot of friends with other car guys....
Hurry up and get this thing done!! Keek up the good work.
I'm sure I'll find a use for them. They seemed like such a good fabrication tool. Maybe I'll buy the reamer and hog them out a touch.
Got some boxes from the brown man today. Apparently the 7* shock taper bungs do not fit split tie rod ends. After finding this out it was already...
I am contemplating running some 37-41' front bones used as a rear setup as in an older rod and custom article. I an not entirely convinced that...
Good point and thanks for the advice, I've got a stack of wheels to choose from now with 3 of both 16" and 17". I'l likely use 16's and have them...
I could kill 2 birds with some old metal on this one and build a sweet hybrid rear ladder bar setup like the Rolling bones article in...
I might be interested in your 40' rear bones, having a hard time finding a picture though and can't remember the style. Headed down to your area...
Found some Images on the HAMB with using split wishbone and a 56' ford box like mine. Sort of like this idea with the cowl steering. Got my...
Haha. Found some Chevy caps and a cool steel crank in the river. [ATTACH] "Insert Epic Quote Here"

[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Also snagged a 53-56 box and collar for $20 and 2 more 17" wires for $20. 9" has 4.11's, super pumped on my...
The 5x5.5 was the major reason I wanted this rear. I've got 3 16" wires and a 17. What's the going rate for 17" wires? He's got two and I might...
For sure. At $20 a pop on the shocks I'll grab then and see what they are like when I get home. The rear end still has wheels and tires and he's...
Thanks for the feedback. Dude had to pull the wishbone and I'm picking the stuff up Friday. I'll pass on the grille shell for now. I'm already...
