Originally, yes. But, I didn't see that it made much difference.
Me too. I just finished a tudor. Wish I replaced the wood. Thanks all.
Got the wood back in. It was pretty easy. I posted a thread on how I did it, in case anyone needs some ideas. [ATTACH]
Got my wood installed after the insert. It was very easy. I posted a thread on it.
I didn't locate much assistance on how to reinstall the wood top after you fill in the roof. So I'll add my way of doing it. Attach the bows to...
Thanks. Needed Room for the gas tank. Any further back and the filler neck would hit the deck lid. It’s only forward 1.75”
Some progress on the rear bulkhead. [ATTACH] Storage underneath... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The pedals will use a 60's truck M/C in the normal (outside) location. The lever above the pivot are for the brake light switch. The pedals are...
Thank you.
Walden roof insert welded in. Got a lot of hammer dolly work, then close up the visor corners. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well. Did you do it yet? I'm getting ready to do it myself in the next few days. I was curious if you came up with anything on the wood. Also...
Floors finally done [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some updates. Not sure why I'm doing this. Seems like the hamb is a ghost town these last few months. Rollbar [ATTACH] [ATTACH] 32 cowl...
90% done with the firewall. Probably was as much time and effort as a chop. I had to widen the bottom about an inch, leaving the top stock. Also...

Floors started. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
48.5” was the stock width on my stock axle. I was just unable to go that wide. As long as the shackles are between parallel (to the ground) and...
46.5" if I remember correctly. The SoCal hangers put the shackle right at the edge of a 16" rim. Anything greater than 46.5" would hit the rim...

He’s asking about the subrails
I don't have any photos, but it was a few inches back from the front end but still under the toeboard. I'm going by memory, but I'm pretty sure...
Thanks. Tried last year but wasn't quite ready. Sure hope to make it this year.
A few more from yesterday.
Took a while to get the body blasted. No surprises. Solid body with a couple small patches. Since patch panels typically aren't the best fit,...
Thanks. Getting set to blast the body and send parts for chroming. So pix may slow for a bit.
Thanks. Its a ubolt elimination style setup. Somewhat visible in this photo. Besides the visible tabs, there is a matching plate under the...
Got the headlight bar / shock mounts setup. F1 Shock mounts combined with 32 B headlight bar and Guide 682C lights. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Stubby rear rails with spreader bar. Since I narrowed the rear I had to graft the horns on the outside. I wanted a full width spreader bar....
Rear subrails. [ATTACH]
Thanks all. Regarding the rear subrails, I don't have a photo of them, but I reformed some new ones. The front (behind the firewall) I pie cut...
