Sorry for all the pics, I couldn’t help my self. If I knew how to do the rear brakes I could roll this sucker around a lot easier

.

Let me know what you think so far. Besides some of the bolts and their color, see anything blatantly incorrect

eye candy....nice detailed work

shifty · 03-12-2008, 05:08 AM

Very nice. '68 frame? Looking at your sig, all I see is a '72 listed, but the rear end and upper control arms look like a '68. Only thing I see that would lead me to think otherwise is the location where the hard line meets the soft line on the front crossmember/upper arm area.

EDIT: actually, I take that back, there is a provision on the crossmember for a soft-to-hard line on the cab-side of the crossmember.

I was just about to ask that... that thing is clean enough to eat off of! If it is painted what paint did you use? And what color are the swaybar, spindles..?

ohhhhh, real nice.

Sequoyah · 03-12-2008, 06:24 AM

Very nice and excellent attention to detail. I'm in the process of doing the back half of my truck right now and have to stop myself every once in awhile from getting too carried away with having too many colors underneath. I don't want everything black for sure, but also don't want to try to make things stand out that shouldn't

Jim_PA · 03-12-2008, 06:28 AM

You can do all that, but can't figure out rear brakes???

Looks awesome!!!

sameyrasmea72 · 03-12-2008, 06:29 AM

Thanks for all the comments.

The frame is painted. It is dupont? Nason chassis black. I will have to check the can for the #

Weave1... Is this the thingamajig your talking about? I don't have any more pics, but mine is very close to the cross member too. I think it will be fine once the front end is aligned and tightened up.

weav1 · 03-12-2008, 06:32 AM

Yes Thats It Mines About A 1/4 Of An Inch

john@thepier · 03-12-2008, 06:45 AM

No need to appoligize in fact that was not nearly enough pictures. What you have there is a reason for cellibration. Keep up the great work, see your project through, and for sake of Pete take all the time you need to finish it as nice as you have gone so far. JOHN

BB72CHEVKT · 03-12-2008, 06:47 AM

I think that is called a cross link.
