69 Jimmy 2wd Conversion and body drop
 

Picked this beat up 69 Jimmy up over in Redding a few months ago, figured i'd show some progress pics along the way.

About where it sits currently

Re: 69 Jimmy 2wd Conversion and body drop
 

So this is about the point I'm currently at. 2wd conversion is all done, has a 79 c10 front crossmember, 350, 700r4, 12 bolt truck rear with Impala disc setup, 65 Mustang gas tank, Porterbuilt Cowl mounted gas assist hood hinges, new floor for the body drop. About to pull the body back off to button a few things up, then on to body work and some custom interior sheetmetal touches

Little more busted out on the Jimmy over the weekend. Got the new rear skin bent up and welded in place, and frenched in some 95 Cadillac Deville taillights

Little progress on the Jimmy. Got the underside cleaned up and sprayed with bedliner, got the firewall cleaned up and painted, body back on the frame for the final time, and started the gauge panel on the new dash

Getting the bodywork all buttoned up, in first prime now. Paint coming soon!
