SHOWOFF!!

jk...awesome work, pics like these make me wish I would have back halved mine. No matter how much work I put into making the stock rear work, it will never look as sweet as this.

Badass, I'm hopin 2 have my 66 there as well... Proly just cruise it round, but looks gorgeous the way u've got yours set up and I love the details on the frame like the little squares over the welds, amazing details.

Lowering the motor mounts, is it 1 inch extra that I get by doing this, and how was it with the rest of the truck, was it a pain to get it all to line up after lowering them 1 inch and do the rockers lay out after the 1 inch adjustment?

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
 
thanks for the good words guys.
I didnt lower the motor mounts, i lowered the body mounts one inch, and pulled the engine forward one inch as well.

got the bed sides 2 weeks ago and got them together but im waiting on my tailgate skin to come in. pics soon, maybe tommorrow?

Looks Sweet!!!!! I would love to see a pic of the bed so i can prepare myself on how much bed i will have left:whine:when i get done. What company did you go with for the fleetside bed? Where the panels straight? Anyways looks great and check my progress out. I am waiting on a bunch of parts to get it a rollin chassis and finish the rear suspension. Talk to you later!

Re: [PROJECT] FnLow 69
