Very nice start. Watching your build may cause me to spend some money upgrading my build with a turbo. Looking good so far. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the great feedback. Time for more pics:

Moved the truck on to my framerack:

So long old friend:

Looks like we're committed now:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_118.JPG


Jeremy had these mandrel bent rails for another project but we thought they would work better on this truck:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_412.JPG


Squared, leveled, and tacked together:

Drilled holes in the factory frame rails for more weld area for the new rear rails:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_119.JPG


I think we're getting somewhere now:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_317.JPG


Frame curves from welderseries.com. Really nice pieces!:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_411.JPG


All welded up:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_219.JPG


Little grinding before they get welded to the rails. I'll finish blending them to match the radius of the rails:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_316.JPG


Easier to get everything lined up on the bench:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/.../photo_413.JPG


Really think the frame curves give a finished look to the rear of the rails:

Very Nice!!
I really like the end pieces on the frame rails. That's a nice touch to an area that often gets forgotten.

Your fab skills are top-notch, and I can't wait to see what you're going to do next.
