Re: My 61 Panel

a couple of thoughts...
I noticed that you are in germany...
A new/used 63-66 frame might be expensiveto purchase,and transport overseas...
you are going with a dropmember anyway,and porterbuilt makes one for a 60-62,and to set your burb up like dinos with the rake, I think all you would have to do in the rear is a 'C' notch, or a small step notch.
either way I think even fabbing up an entire new back half would probably be cheaper than shipping aa frame overseas.
the body looks nice btw.

That´s right i´m a Potato from Germany.

I already have a Frame he came with the Panel , only the Frame no front or Rearend . i bought the dropmember before i had the Panel ! I think that i´m use stuff from ridetech for the rear , i hope it is the right decision ?!



Sorry Guy´s for my bad english!!!!!!!!

I'm a German from Idaho, and I just happen to be bald AND used to be a potato farmer!! Lol. Lived in Pocy for 8 1/2 years when I was a kid. Drove through there a few years ago, good Ol' Simplot still at it! Wish I could have rescued my beloved 73 K20 from the farm while I was up there!

Hey man! That panel's looking sweet and your fab work is quick. Where all did you visit here in this very hot state of Florida? And what did you get?
