I think everybody got a case of the warm fuzzies from that.
Commit random acts of kindness, you might just enjoy it. |
Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Aint that the truth. The other day I went into Dairy Queen and they asked if I would donate to some kids fund. I says what the heck and gave them a buck. They gave me $2 in coupons. Then on my way out I'm in the giving mood so I jump on the Blood donation bus and gave blood for the first time. They gave me a ten dollar gift card for Lowe's.(I work there) The guy inside the bus says he lives around the corner and has a New dishwasher he needs gone so I got a Free new dishwasher. I think I'm addicted.

I did a little fabrication work on the firewall and windsheild frame. It was nice getting back on the body after spending so long on the frame. The driprail needed to be smoothed out and it came out pretty good. Also deleted the ac holes.
Attachment 1418392 This is all new to me so don't be too harsh!!! Attachment 1418393 I have moved forward with trying my hand at fabbing up parts, my first peice was the windsheild frame patch where I had to cut to lay it back. I made a template and then cut it out. Attachment 1418394 It fit pretty well on my first try. Attachment 1418395 |

I finished deleting the drip rail/wire loom gutter and moved to the cover. Pay no attention to all the junk in the truck, it was cleaned out!!!:lol:
Attachment 1418410 I used a rubber mallet and a concave jackstand to pound the cover into a slight bend in the center which in turn made it bend to just the right curve to fit the area to be covered.:metal: Attachment 1418411 A little prefit and very minimal grinding got it just right. Attachment 1418412 I tacked it on and started measuring my cowl to see exactly how I was going to make it look right. That my friends, is next weekends project!!! Attachment 1418413 |

I'm baaack!!! Have been working a lot and just have not had the time to post! My company called me back after being off just one week and I have been working ever since. July 23 is my supposed last day now. :confused: Back to the project!! Got a few minor little things done....:lol:. I cut a big hole in the tub....
Attachment 1425580 Just enough to fit the c-notches in! Attachment 1425581 It felt good seeing it sitting on the frame. Attachment 1425582 Even while still sitting on the jacks I was happy to see wheels tuckin!! Attachment 1425583 I should have pulled the wheel wells out first, but you know how it is when you get excited about something. :lol: Attachment 1425584 |

Since it was a large step I took a few extra pics.
This is the first pic of it layed out almost at zero pressure. Attachment 1425622 This is lifted to almost max. Attachment 1425623 This is a problem, it's not low enough!!! The heads on the bolts that hold in the trailing arm crossmember make the body and frame "teeter" front to back so this will have to be addressed. Attachment 1425624 Limbo contests are gonna be fun with this thing!! Attachment 1425625 Added a fender to check clearance, everything looks good after cutting out for the Slosh Tubz, doesn't look like I'll have to cut into the firewall but things change. Attachment 1425626 |
Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Looks great!
What size (diameter) wheel/tire combo will you be running when it's finished? This will dictate how low it goes. |
Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Weld the bottom of that crossmember then you won't have the bolt heads to deal with. Honestly how often do you plan to remove it? But if you do decide to remove it you only have a few welds to cut.

Body mounts will probably raise it 3/4" or so.

Yeah body drop kit is in, still have to buy the cushions. I'm missing a few items but Travis is working on it. Having flooring put in the house this week so no truck work will happen during my week off at home, but that's ok since the wife is happy.

I am steadily making progress each week! The pics do not show much progress, but it actually was a lot of progress. Only had a day and a half to get this all done so I was happy. These pics are all that I took, but I did spray both sides of the tub with rattle can primer. I hope to have an announcement about the project soon.....so stay tuned!!!
Paint is gone off the dash. Attachment 1428243 I fabbed up a filler panel and filled in the windshield pillar, still gotta weld in the other side. Attachment 1428244 Made some fillers for the taillights as well. Attachment 1428245 Bare metal shows all, found a patch at the front of the tub on both sides and the quarter panel on the driver side will need to be replaced. There was a gallon of bondo on that quarter panel!!!:metal: Attachment 1428246 |
