Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Would you happen to know the part number for your headers? I saw in a earlier post they were Sanderson. Nice work on the body lines.

I guess I've never paid that close attention to exactly how the cowl fits with everything else.... GREAT......Now that means more work that needs to be done and I still haven't started...exactly....well sorta. It IS a stripped tub now.
Very nice work.. :metal: |

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
I'm going to be running chrome 67 hubcaps on this truck, but I'm contemplating between stock 15" steelies and 20" centerline smoothies. They will be painted or powder coated an off-white/ cream color. Does anybody have a set of the centerlines for sale?

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Body work looks great, nice clean gaps.
I agree go to Delmo for the smoothies.... When did you swap to the Dropmember? Last pic of the frame, it looked complete but still had a stock front crossmember... |
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
Great work on your build so far.. I understand what it's like to not have much time to work on it.

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
I started a couple new projects. I have to replace the inner brace on my hood, so bought a piece from a board member and proceeded to drill out a thousand spot welds.

Thanks Keith (n2billet) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7196/6...2ff79b38_z.jpg Speaking of Porterbuilt, I owe the following rear wheel tub mod how-to to him. Thanks for posting those pics in the Old Aux thread Nate! Marked out the 3.25 inches I had to remove: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7039/6...28305da8_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7067/6...8e5b8179_z.jpg First Cut http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7056/6...ae5c8b9f_z.jpg Second Cut http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7057/6...771cc9dd_z.jpg Ready to tack. Notice the one relief cut required. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7070/6...20b1ff20_z.jpg Bought some bedsides. Heres the bed just sitting there on wood blocks. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7038/6...e49d0598_b.jpg |

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
I wanted to get people's opinion on something. I am going to make new inner bed panels that will have the same body lines as the factory ones do. I can do this by removing all the spot welds on the factory one and modifying it to fit the raised bed floor or I can leave the factory inner bedside panel in place and fabricate new ones to go over the factory one. Any opinions on which route to take?

Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
I say do it like Cheby's if you want the detail of the inner body line.
VA's idea is pretty slick too. I think i'll do mine like NACHO truck. looks like delmo just unbolted everything and reinstalled the floor 10" or so higher. Im sure its more complicated than typing that though. |
Re: Project: Bad Bagged '68.5
The way I want to do it is so the upper body line is eliminated since the tub will extend above that. Thanks for the replies. Something to think about today at the day job. Rather be working on the truck!
