I took out 6 inches out of the inner bed panels! I did it in the center of the reveals to look factory! And raised the tubs 2 1/2" and sectioned them 4" & sided them 4" for tire clearance!Attachment 1363983

Another note, spent my high school years in El Cajon cruising up and down second avenue. My buddies and me used to cruise up to Escondido some but the cops hassled us a bit so we quit. Good times. I will keep an eye on your build. Got a 63 GMC shortbed fleetside that I kinda have this in mind for if I ever sell my 67 Chevelle. |
Re: 68c10/c6build
Oh ya El Cajon? I try to get down there when I can but Escondido has Cruising Grand on Friday nights which is about 2 miles from the shop. I look forword to seeing your 63 someday! Any pics of your Chevelle? Thanks Ron

I wanted the firewall to look as factory as possible so I recessed it here because the Vette K-member sets the motor behind axel centerline I'm using the magnesium pedal assembly so I had to build out the booster master cyl area. This will also be getting a Maggie superchargerAttachment 1364091

Hi Justin yes I have built a fuel cell with an Areomotive fuel pump! I am going to supercharge it and I don't want any failures. And I'm trying to figure out the door panels now. The Vette panels that is

Re: 68c10/c6build
gotcha...what about the exterior handles?

Re: 68c10/c6build
