Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Well, things didn't get as far along as I wanted them too.

Upon further examination of the frame rails, there are some pinholes that I'm taking care of right now. So, just getting back into the ryhthm of welding sheetmetal again. That'll come in handy real quick like, Hah.

The driver side is by far the worse, and when it's done I might take a pic for you all. I'd rather not though, because it's going to be pretty ugly. Strong, clean, and safe, but ugly...

I also did some more reasing over on stevesnovesite.com about minitubbing. Followed a guys thread where he did a very very stock appearing minitub. Alot of work, but very worth it. I thought about it, and then realized that stock doesn't mean much to be at this point, so as soon as the frame rails are done and my crossmembers are welded back in, we're gonna hack the living hell outta whats left of the wheel tubs. Bwahahaha.

It should turn out alright, and I'll be sure the rear seat still fits back there. But, it sure won't be anything I want to show off too much. This is my beater hot rod. I don't particularly mind if it's a little rough around the edges, especially in places no one will see. As long as it's straight, sound, and safe - I'll roll it.

So that's where it sits as of now. I'll try to get some more done tomorrow.

-Sam.
