Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Speaking of the Chevrolet script you used on your bed notch cover...does anyone know what member used an enlarged version of this classic script to make a custom machined tailgate panel??
I remember coming across it on the forums somewhere, I just can't remember where... Thanks, Trevor

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
5th step is an extra one that i added, i shortened the front frame horns 1/2 inch just to tuck the bumper in a little closer, once again i used my square along the bottom edge and marked back 1/2 inch and cut it off. 6th step i held the front pieces of frame horn all the way touching the old frame and marked the holes with my trusty silver sharpie, took them over to the drill press and drilled them out

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i wonder why nathan doesnt just makes the front longer and includes the bumpersupport , if he does it that way the cut on the frame doesnt HAVE to be straight to give a good result
to be honest i never even considered the bumper needing to be lowered

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
I'm curious, and may have missed it, but I thought the body was already sitting on the ground. Was there some small gap that you are closing? How do you protect the bottom of the sheet metal (the pretty part) if its able to drop all the way to the ground?
