Re: 69 fleetside project

Well i've ordered and recieved Rockers and Corners for both sides.. I priced out the OE cab supports, total cost is about 80 bux... And my buddy who has the 70 is going to help me out with the floor patching. we are going to use his as a reference and hammer them out by hand. Like you said im keeping it as Low buck as possible cause simply i have to! For the that little lip on the floor where the rockers sit (thats no longer there) im just gonna buy some L steel and burn it in there. The back brace for the cab is sturdy and not rusted through. All the cab supports are as you can tell by the pics. So pretty much everywhere i see a hole i will be patching so no worries there.

Funny you mention it i have already started tallying all the cost. haha I have good people to help if i need it... all Old school hot rodders. who do things the low cost way because thats what they were used to back in the day. Its pretty neat to hear old hot rodder stories... anyway, the cab is by far the worst part of this build everything else is solid and needs minimal if any patch work.

As for my age I guess im not that young. 24, im used to being the young guy around here. Not to many guys my age are into the older rusty stuff. They are all into the nice shiney brand newest car out there. Not my style particularly so my crowd is usualy guys at leat double my age. Guess i dont deserve the name. seeing how there are guys younger than me on here.
