Shop clean up day

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.

[GR8-68]

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

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.

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

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

[GR8-68]

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.

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

[rusty76]

I will do that. Truck is coming along nicely.
