Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Jvsapp - Thanks for the link. A full floor pan would make my life alot easier. I'm considering a 2 half one, tho, since it's almost 200 dollars cheaper, if my price checking is up to par. We'll see how the dollars fall in the future though,

And just a quick update - I made my rear end lift today, and got the back end cranked up.

The rear frame rails are in better shape than I thought. Only the very ends are gone, and the rest seem to be good and solid. Further inspection will verify this - if so, it'll reudce how much I have to do considerably, haha.

Also pulled the gas tank and the trunk lid, along with the read bumper.

Pretty soon I'll have to start whacking and welding I suppose...

Also, I confered with Brad on the board, and in an effort not to steal the legacy of his truck, "Six Appeal", I'd like to give this car, along with her name of Betty, the title of "Six Appeal II". Pinstriping and lettering may come further down the road to appropriately display this title.

Thats it for now, I'll get some pics up soon.

-Sam.
