Might I suggest starting up another thread...?
This new project deserves it's own spot light for sure.

Any more progress made in the basement?
I looked across the field at mine the other day.

The actual build is in the projects...Grant Wheelen Project, I'm not the project manager on it

If I find my cheet of paper to tell me how to link it, I'll post it up. It's a pretty cool project, check it out

I'm trying to figure out how to put a full floorboard in a Jimmy, and I thought the fit was good here. Maybe if we put in Tim's he'll be ready for the Mich. run

From what I can tell, the crossmember is an issue, and you have to cut out the low hump, and shorten the lenght and reflange it to a 90 degree bend

Oh yes the one in the basement, forgot about her... new nose job, '67 cowl hood and inner fenders. Scap the '72 grille suround and build new eyebrows to match the '67 hood lenght
I'll try to post up pics next time

I agree on the thread, this is quite a project and one of the first I've seen using the new floor.

And Kurt, were you looking at your Blazer or swb, or is there another one that we don't know about yet?

He used to have a Suburban back there too! Almost bought the front clip off of it

I'm hoping I'll just have to replace inner and outer rockers, A and B posts and kick panels. The rocker/torsion boxes are in good shape and the floor looks pretty good too. But you know how that goes. I think I'll have more work with the firewall/windshield frame swap. The donor tub is in much better shape than the original was. Should be fun! I'm sure I'll have tons of questions for both of you seasoned pro's.
