Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

well sorta.. ive got a 53 body that was all hacked up... so i cut from the firewall forward off, and cut of the top... planning on building a ratrod looking roadster thing on a s10 frame!!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

haha sounds like it will turn out pretty sweet. mine is pretty rusty body wise, but the pan is pretty good, not perfect (a little in battery tray area and up front where the body bolts to the pan on the underside of the napoleon hat area), but considering how rusty the body is ( all 4 wheel wells, front fire wall, heater channels, front spare tire well area, and a little in the door bottoms, and a few other small places) im really suprised the pan not just as bad lol.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

got the crossmember all trimmed up.. still need a few more bolts

almost done.. still gotta drill holes

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

very nice; you're doing a great job! i really admire you guys who are so good at fabrication....keep up the good work

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Seems like it would be much stronger if you welded it all the way around the top and on the inside, instead if the tabs. I think a lot strenght comes from tieing that box into the orginial arm. I know it's kinda hard to weld the inside. Just a thought.:smoke: Every time I look at your pictures I want a new camera.:mm: Never mind.:lol: I looked closer and it looks like you did weld it.Da :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

You may want to drill a hole in each corner of your cups to allow for water drainage.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ya its kinda hard to tell from the pic but it is welded on the inside to.. and im gonna drill the drainage holes when i drill the holes for the bag bolts... thanx for lookin out though guys!!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

things to get one next:

pull bed off and do the frame work for the raised bed floor and make my adjustable solid bed mounts

pull from clip back off to trim the fenderwells
cut end of the frame off and lower it to lower the bumper
shave a few holes in the firewall
run my new brake lines and fuel line
then reinstall the front clip
shave down the tires to make the white walls bigger
then it will be time to finish the motor
