Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Nice work on the tub. Are you just shortening the height or making it wider, taller? I bet that is really time consuming.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
The bed is coming together great. Are you just boxing off around the tires in the bed rather than building tubs? Will the tires sit under the floor or extend beyond the floor some? If so how are you going to cap those off?

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
That is a lot of work. It looks like it is really paying off also.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
I'm trying to see if there would be any interest if we started making rear inner fenders out of fiberglass. They are a pain to make from steel so I thought maybe there would be a market for them. I could use the ones we just built for a mold.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
I would say yes. Although, I think you would have to offer several different heights though since everyone has a slightly different setup.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
I agree with Hart_Rod and it would make my life easier instead of trying to modify mine.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Seth, the rear tubs came out nice. What did you do with the inner bed sides? Can't really tell in the pictures.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Thanks Josh. I ran the sheetmetal clear over to the bedsides and used 3M Pannel Bond to glue them. It added back the strength to the sides and finishes off the wheel wheels

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Fresh black paint looks good. I bet that take a bunch of work. There's a bunch of surfaces to spray there.
