haha.shes been helping me with cars,trucks,motorcycles,snowmobiles since day one.lucky catch i guess.
as for the drip rails i didnt drill any spot welds.just took out about a 1/2 inch or a little less section then brought the outer edge in to meet the inner.

I dig it man! A very unique build. I'm as excited as everyone else to see what you do next!

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

well next will hopefully be finish stripping,priming,painting the rear half of the frame then install front suspension.i say hopefully because im doing the frame in my drive way and we are on day number 22 of rain so its a major holdup on the build.i got my rear end ready to come home tomorrow and ordered a 444c compressor/pressure switch/4 cross drilled rotors and ceramic brake pads last night.also have my new control arms and brackets almost complete so the rear suspension should be mocked up in place real soon.i will keep you guys updated

Re: Project...praise the lowered

Super niiiice.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

love the comments.good to see the fan following.my views are getting up there.so im now back at the interior.yesterday i welded in some tabs to mount the console,some studs for wire mounts,hammered out some warping on the dash,and spread/blocked some fill.back at it for an hour today i did some more blocking and shaping,and laid some fiberglass where the new cluster is mounting to the old dash.so far so good.i should have some pics tomorrow.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

Wow, you've got skill dude! I wish you were my neighbor or something Id love checking that truck out!!! Cab looks super clean and the hood is sweet too! I thought my truck was rusty, yours was alot worse!

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

lookin clean!!

what brand is that black primer you are using? looks like the eastwood epoxy im using on my truck.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

thanks buddy.actually i wish i was your neighbor.after reading your thread looks like you live in a great area.and you know how to turn a wrench.i would put you to work asap haha.keep up the good work on your build.im going to watch for updates

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

its something new i bought.i laid down a coat of epoxy then hammered 2 heavy heavy coats of the black highbuild.i have used a lot of highbuilds in the past but this is by far the thickest.like glaze putty in a spray gun.i will find out the brand tomorrow.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

so the black highbuild is a different primer than the epoxy you used?

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

yup.the epoxy was white and the highbuild black.its called Bernardo Ecenarro 2k acrylic high build filler.i had to go with this instead of the usual stuff because the shop i buy from was switching everything to water bourne .

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

update on progress....heres the pics of the dash work.shows the fiberglass method i used to bond the new cluster to the old dash,then the fill and the start of shaping.just ran out of time tonight.i came home to some goodies waiting at my door.my rotors and pads.i mocked the rear ones up to the fresh blasted/painted/shaved rear end.looks great.im also going to include the mounts i fabbed for the rear trailing arms.they are going to mount in the location where the front leaf spring mounts were.just bolt in place.i also spaced them perfectly from the frame to end up mounting to the rear end where the leaf springs and u bolts mount.need some nice weather to set my wheel base/pinion angle and where the bags will mount.

67cheby, i just checked out your inner fender progress for the first time in a while and i have to say they look great.excellent work.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

:jdp: That dash is wicked! Nice work! Want to lend a hand on mine? :lol:

Re: Project...praise the lowered

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

thanks maybe we should get a set for your truck !!

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

Yer keepin' her a 6 lug! :metal: Sweet! Let me know when you get it all back together or if you already know how much of a difference it changes your spacing from stock. This is an upgrade i'd love to do in the future, but want to keep my stock wheel spacing. Also what brand or kit did you go with? Sorry for so many questions. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks,

Re: Project...praise the lowered
 

if you were closer i would be over in a heart beat.or you could just fly me down,i could use a vacation haha.
