Re: 68 project
 

Love the steady flow of updates. I agree, it could lose another inch or two in the rear. I'm just picturing it tucking those tires and it would look rad!

Re: 68 project
 

My thoughts exactly Corey I have plenty of fender well clearance to get down more.

Re: 68 project
 

Got the hood stripped and skimming with bondo. Hood is one of the worst panels to get straight. :smoke:

Re: 68 project
 

Ugh !!! 😆 Hood panels suck but I almost have it flat now.

Re: 68 project
 

Vintage !!! :mm: :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Looking good. Are you running 4" drop rear springs. Are you opposed to blocking the rear end an inch or two. To get your hieght your wanting. I couldn't find and 6" drop springs.

Re: 68 project
 

Right now I have 4 inch springs and 2 inch blocks. I am going to get a set of 5 inch springs

Re: 68 project
 

Shop clean up day :mm:

Re: 68 project
 

Ok. I read threw the thread he other day. Don't remember seeing how you dropped it. Plus you will drop another inch I would think. Once the full wieght is in the rear. Maybe 2 looking good though.

Re: 68 project
 

Yes, I figured 2 more would make it look right . :mm:

Re: 68 project

Re: 68 project
 

Looks good ,you using wood or steel floor ?

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks Jess, I know a lot of this from reading on the forum here, Also I did take auto body in vocational school before I went into the military ;) The other project is my bosses 75 k10 he bought when he was 16 and is restoring for his son with an ls2.

The crossmember seems to be well but I have not added my rear shocks yet.

Spring would be fine with me but there is still yet quite a bit of work, all the body has to come back off, probably end of next week I will start taking it back down to get it ready to paint. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

It is a wood floor, probably going to be using Walnut ;)

Re: 68 project
 

Got 2 more wheel wells ordered hopefully will be here Friday so I can finish the tubs up this coming weekend :metal:

Re: 68 project
 

Not a whole lot of action tonight as far as pics but did get one, started welding my first tub up, looking good so far. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Nice. Can't wait to see this bad boy.

Re: 68 project
 

Ride on over one day and check it out ;) I am close to taking it back apart to finish up the motor build and the transmission I am probably going to be going with a 200r4 or 700r4. Also about to start prepping to paint everything and then reassembly :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

I will do that. Truck is coming along nicely.

Re: 68 project
