Re: my radical 60 build
Hey Jon,
I finally got ONE of those springs out for ya.... work has been hell and baby prep has been eating a lot of my time too. As long as KD keeps quiet that's the story I'm sticking with anyway. 60 is looking awesome. I'm out of the zoo all next week 8/7-8/11 for work but I'll pop that other spring by the 15th. Also got some heavy boxes in for the burb you might wanna see. I'll try to catch you sun 8/14. Josh

Re: my radical 60 build
slow going this month...
I have the top chut down 3 inches, and I have figured out where the cuts need to go to widen the roof , and retain the steel headliner. the roof needs to be widened 3/4 of an inch to get the pillars to line up, and the windshield to fit. I am taking lots of pics as I go, and hopefully when I am done , we will have a coherent how-to for chopping this year truck. |

Re: my radical 60 build
Man that thing is freaky looking. Its not my cup of tea, but then again a buddy down the road told me to sell my 65 and pick up a 70 so I know its all an acquired taste.
I say keep going man this is really cool doing it differently. The wife asked me what it was and I told her UH, I don't know. hahaha I did see an article some where on the net talking about doing a 60's chop, but for the life of me I can't remember, but I will give it a looksee if it helps out at all. |

Re: my radical 60 build
I've been procrastinating.... but I did set a goal to have the roof welded up by the time you visit for christmas,alan!
I did find, and get (they were 3 hrs away) 2 more 61 plymouth front fenders. The ones that I used were pretty shot, there was rust, dents, and old (rough) bodywork done to them. The pair I just got are not rusty, and will save me a ton of work around the headlights where the others were shot. I also scored a pair of 61 ply. parklight lenses, which are not hard to find, just hard to find not $80+ a pair! I also got the chrome trim I was missing on the left front fender, some 62 buick headlight rings (more custom work) some 57 buick roadmaster armrests (even more custom work) and 2 more red 62 buick taillight lenses-these will replace the clear backuplight lenses- I also scored 2 deluxe 60-63 instrument clusters, one with an air guage! |

Re: my radical 60 build
That's a wild build! Hat's off for taking your vision and running with it. Looking forward to seeing it come together.
Maybe you could keep the theme going and modify some old Plymouth valve covers for your SB chev? |

Joe, are you going soft (get your mind out of the gutter) on us?
I guess I'll have to do it for you. ![]()
