My frame was narrow enough that I could slide the body over it. I used 1" square tubing to raise the floor 4 or 5 inches(can't remember)......
I always found that being polite works... I do like the idea of a HAMB friendly sign on the front of the shop, though. I wonder if Ryan would have...
Must be the same guy that built Wonder Woman's invisible plane...
You can drill stainless? I've always burnt through it:D!
Even with all the money in the world, I still wouldn't have the time to build it!
You lucky son of a ... Congrats!
The new stuff does NOT taste like orange kool-aid.
My daughter has always enjoyed playing with cars in the yard. When she was 15, she told me that she wanted us to build something together, but...
Wow. Never again will I bitch about pouring my shop floor!
You don't have to tell me that the new stuff is bad...a have a wicked allergic reaction to it. I work as a GM tech, and GM has been using...

That's great! Just knowing that someone else also builds parts in that manner makes me feel a lot better!
A little bump for the evening crowd........anyone?
More specifically, 2 tone green...... Allthough I am not ready to paint yet, I will be picking up material for the interior soon. So, if a green...
Low buck...high tech...love it!
You could check out my build (link in sig). Not a RPU, but a sedan to pick up. Might give you some ideas...
The 8ply is gonna run rough...
If my truck will move on it's own power out of the garage, I'll be happy. Everything else will be a bonus.
