Re: Project '86
Are you going to pull the front end and box off again to finish the welding on the frame?

Re: Project '86
The welding is 90% done one the frame, I just didn't have up to date photos. I do have to pull the cab to finish boxing the top of the Z like I would like. Just can't get to it with the cab on.

Re: Project '86
I like your start on this. The front fender mods it spot on. I always thought it you look better with the lip lower.
Where in East Texas are you?

Re: Project '86
looks real good. I put suicides on my 86 and let me tell ya it takes a lot to get the doors not to sag. Also, are you putting the latch on the door or the jam

Re: Project '86
My intent was to put it in the door. The kit I bought came with the wrong size latches and I haven't gotten the correct ones back yet so I haven't really planned that part out yet. Do you happen to have any photos of the bracing you added? I still need to put some bracing in the door jamb on the cab so some of it is likely coming from there as well.

Re: Project '86
Here is the best pic i have. I think that the door could prob. use a little more around the bottom hinge but oh well. I was just asking about the latch because if you plan on one piece windows you have to watch out for clearance on the front part of the door. There is only like 1/8th inch clearance. That's why I put my latch on the jam and the pin on the door.
