Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I’m thinking that you might have jumped the gun a little on the alignment, as you still have a LOT of weight to add before you’re ready to do that. But it did look like the original arms were a bit long.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Your project is coming along very nicely. Who makes those value covers you have on your build?

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
Thanks for all the detailed pics of the frame. I've had mine apart soo long i forgot how the idler arm attached. I ordered all new parts and i took them out of the box and said why didn't i buy an idler arm. Turns out what i thought was the pitman arm was the idler arm didn't know you had to reuse the frame brace. Your frame is bootifull nice work.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
What kind of powder coat setup do you have? I like your finished home product.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
You're doing a great job on your truck and your enjoyment is contagious. I think that helps when frustrations like your control arms show up. I also think it's why people like Bob are willing to pass along a treasure like that wagon to you. Not saying you didn't pay him well for it, but that thing's amazing.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
I have made some ovens look at post 103 for long parts ....I was fortunate to find this double wall oven on Offer-UP for 95.00 because the lower oven was missing the outer glass which by the way dose not effect its operation....they are easy to make with ...elements and metal cabinets if you can round up all the materials to wire and insulate to regulate the temp ....you only need to keep a consistent 400 degrees for about 20 minutes to bake...if you go on the internet you can find how others have built ovens....good luck its lots of fun and relatively inexpensive
Jess
