Re: 1969 project shortie

Another "z" pic. I left a opening so I could run any lines or wires thru. It's gusseted on the top and bottom then I capped it.

Re: 1969 project shortie

Thor brothers rear step notch kit. A lot of welding (which I'm no pro) but fit together nicely . I boxed the front section for more strength.

Bag mounts are also suicide doors, panhard mount from ebay, shock tabs from ebay. Made my own 2" blocks from .250" wall, bought shock studs from parts store.

Re: 1969 project shortie

Thanks. I went with a speedway generic radiator that didn't include the coolers. On my next build I want to use something a little better. Thank you!
