Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Jvsapp - I'm going to try to do something like the screw jack set up. I think it'll allow me alot of adjustability. I'm still in the process of figuring that one out though...haha. It's just metal and welding, so it can't be all that hard.

And as far as the railroad iron...it's just always been here. haha, it makes a good anvil nonetheless. Signs point to my grandpa and uncle heisting it off of a obsolete line that ran around here.

63chevyII - It could be a lot worse. Well, a little bit worse, haha. I'll deal with it all as the time comes...rust doesn't scare me! It probably should...but nonetheless.

And the truck arms are the same width in the front as off of a 67-72 truck. The stock crossmember was used. I just moved them closer in the back to allow for a larger tire to fit on.

No progress as of yet. I have to go get some more supplys. I.e., cutting and grinding wheels. And then we'll see if I can't throw some more together.
