Rear view. Mind you that it isn't all the way layed out in this out there's still air in the bags. Enough for when I cut the rockers off

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Thanks man. Most of the fab work was done by a friend who owns a shop. I did the notches and the front end (besides the pancake). Now I'm doing the floors from scratch and finishing it up

Decided to put some plywood down under the main part of the body. Didn't want it in the gravel. Haha

Nope. She's not going to make it this year unfortunately but I'll still be down for sure. I've been busy and wasn't able to get it moved on time so I lost a few days on it. Schools coming to an end and the stuff I have to do gets crazier before it ends. Luckily all my senior students are gone so my class sizes dropped about a 1/3. Makes life easier.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Well sorry for the lack of updates. Progress has been very slow with many headaches. Currently I am trying to get a brake pedal in the thing. I had to cut off the actual pedal as it was hitting the floor not allowing me to press it down.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Finally got the truck running and tried moving it around. So the throttle stuck and the brakes didn't hold up and it went through a fence. Luckily the body wasn't bolted down so it just slid on the frame not causing much damage. Just a dent in the rear door. No biggie.

I have no idea why these keep posting sideways. Set a grill on it just to see.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Thought about it. I don't know. Just something afraid of something breaking going down the road. Dont want to hurt anyone or wreck the truck. Guess it's just easier knowing the porterbuilt ones will bolt on, be good quality, and fix my problems. Lol. I may look into modifying mine though. I have a couple sets.

Re: Free Candy Inside: 63 Long Panel Build
Went to my moms for thanksgiving. That's where I keep the panel. Tried fitting the hood. It now clears the tires. So even though I still want to get some porterbuilt control arms at least it will work for now.
