m6z · 07-14-2010, 04:27 PM

I though the bed floor was going to be raised to cover the notch? I could be wrong, I usually am.

**67cheby** · 07-14-2010, 04:30 PM

theres no way i would cover that up !!!

texastrendz · 07-14-2010, 04:44 PM

boy nathan sure does like that bead roller. was that a new toy yall purchased and wanted to test the strenght of the tool. just kiddin, fab work is excellent as normal.

Frizzle Fry · 07-14-2010, 04:54 PM

What are you finishing the metal with to get such a clean look including all the inside corners etc?

VA72C10 · 07-14-2010, 05:10 PM

For the final step, we have a large electric angle grinder that we run a 7" 3M maroon scotch-brite pad on.

Thanks for the info. Looks extra clean!

texastrendz · 07-15-2010, 10:04 PM

i use a dual action (DA) sander with fine paper and good dw-40. gives you that nice photo finish that everyone likes.

mcbassin · 07-16-2010, 12:22 AM

Killer style and fabrication as always. Gonna be a shame to cover it up with the bed.

texastrendz · 07-16-2010, 09:29 PM

when you shaved the firewall did you cust out the metal or just cover it over. it looks like you cut it out, just wanted to know, thanks daniel.

Cut it out and butt-welded the new piece in.

PBFAB.COM · 07-22-2010, 06:40 PM

More Updates... Built a tubular center structure for the chassis. We will integrate the transmission x-member into the design as well.

SCOTI · 07-22-2010, 06:44 PM

Sign me up! How much room is it leaving you for exhaust along the inside rails?

68GMCCustom · 07-22-2010, 06:55 PM

looks like theres room for 3+" exhaust between the fraim rails and the new tubular braces.

I have cut boxing plates for before and behind the trailing arm crossmsmber to strengthen the center of the frame....looks like Nate came up with a much sharper solution. I have to say that looks pretty good!

jwalk · 07-22-2010, 07:22 PM

Got to have it!!!!!!!

Mike J · 07-22-2010, 08:23 PM

wow, that is a great idea, and a really nice looking piece!
