Hey I was looking at my spare and I noticed that it has 4 nubs for the caps where yours only has three ,I don't know if it makes any difference or not. Dan.

cool build man, glad to see some home built fabrication stuff. Just goes to show that it can be done if one has the motivation.

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

thanks man, the way i see it. anything can be done with a grinder and a welder

I wish when i did my 64 i had more knowledge on dropping the suspension but i was young had a torch in hand and a half a page guide on body drops haha.

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

im only 21, i just have alot of interest in building customs.
iv been on my own doing this kinda stuff since i was 15.
did my first 350 swap on my first car(chevy vega lol) blew it up in 4 months
now i just build and sell for fun now and the extra cash flow is nice

working for volkswagen in not going so well

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Wow cool man we are pretty much the same just a few years apart. I'm 24 my first victim was a 64 vw when i was 14-17 then the 64 gmc was next i was 19 or 20 when i did the body drop. I had just never really messed with suspension before so i took the opinion that worked in my head lol.

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"

im the youngest tech at my shop, they act like im the under dog till i blow their minds when im having to fix their problems.

its nice to know tho that im not the only youngster on here

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

truck looks sick, i love flat black. have you thought about matching your grill to the wheels?

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

so i just relized the one of my 4 wheels has 3 nubs instead of 4, it is a little more difficult put the hubcaps on but they are still the same wheels.

i just have to figure out which one is the original size and design

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

i might try that, i dont have photoshop anymore otherwise i would try that.
good idea tho!!
gunna work on that and maybe use that. i was thinking of going all black but im not sure yet

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

the green gives it a lil bit of character than just a blacked out look would. i say add a few more touches here and there to keep the theme going.

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

if i could get a nicer non dented grille i would repaint it the same color i have now but grilles are so expensive!!

Re: 1970 project/ DD "instant death"
 

Not to many updates since the new job

Although I'm bagging a customers 66
http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3598538d.jpg
Scored on the 66, I had to do a s10 front end swap so I have a whole front clip
So I'm probably going to pancake the crossmember

Here's a little something I started making at work whenever I get free time
Making a box for all my valves to protect from thrives and the elements
Nothing fancy but its temporary
http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/...ps731f3bd3.jpg

Since I'm over the whole automotive career and working for Volkswagen I decided to get back into fabrication
So I got a job at a fabrication shop building trailers and accessories or whatever comes through the door that needs some welding

I'm working on 5 trailers for the state right now
