Just one thing before I forget. The one inch deep cross members under the front floor are very close to the frame. They clear (I hadn't noticed until today) by maybe 1/2 inch.

Wish I could say I cleverly planned that....I just guessed on cross member depth and got lucky.

I can't help to think a cool sliding door on each side that would let you have access to that area, as like a hidden compartment or an endless amount of things you can put in there.

Kinda this direction 99 & R46? Since I didn't go with the chopped pyramid idea ratty, (still think it would look pretty good) I thought I would give this a try. Still in rough mock up stage. Gotta make the ends of the box and the side close outs yet.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

I purchased a DIY weld it up yourself finger press brake and showed putting it together here.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=657465

Looks like a nice unit.

So I used it on some 16 gauge to make the box for the side. Manufacturers website and videos explains it will bend up to 110 degrees.

Hello Advanced Design. I like that press brake that you made. You stated that the radius was too big. I think that you could solve that problem with a smaller bottom die. It would take some more fabricating but it just might work. Just some ideas. Who knows where this will lead too. Hope you don't mind.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

great story I tell yah, I wish I had some stories like that. Only one I got is my friend was into the custom scene years ago bf I was. His life went one way and mine came into the car/truck scene. I now own his 3 cars he had (all projects of course). But he finally got his 54' belair 2door he's been after for a very long time, so he's kinda back in the game. I did the engine for him on it. Funny how things come full circle.

It doesn't look like you need much help though.

I've built cars, trucks & bikes and I love them all. I wish I had more equipment though ...

Keep us posted.

R46
The 99-r46 box is a pretty good idea. Have to see if I can do it. Hear you on equipment. I love'em all too r46. Just want one of each.

Awesome idea Earl! Will see what I can do with that. I really like ideas and collaborating so thank you for sharing!

Now that is a good story 99! Good he is back in the game. This farmer friend of mine since we were 5 had a 1970 Demon (50,000 miles rust free) he was building in the real early 80's. Had Wayne County speed shop do the 340 engine (were dominant in NHRA pro stock then) and it was wicked. I did the 727 tranny....extra clutches, reverse pattern valve body...

He almost finished the car, got married and put it in a barn. Fast forward 20 years his 17 year old son (one who built the 30 x 40 shop) drug it out of the barn, got me, his dad and uncle involved and finished the car off. It was like the early 1980's again. And really good to see the young friend on the streets in the Demon. Yep, it still sounds wicked.

Two days after ordering from Swag, the adjustable flat top showed up. It is heavy and well made and allows for bends beyond 90 degrees.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Thanks guys...appreciate the props!

99 the finger brake was $279 or so a couple weeks ago on Ebay. The adjustable flat was $119. Both prices included shipping. The regular press brake was quite a bit less and frankly I don't know how often I will use the fingers.

Look's really nice...Any ideas for the door yet?

Maybe a stereo cabinet magnet/button (you push in and its pops the door open)

Sorry guys...here is what I was trying to communicate...don't know how I came up with speaker magnets...related to stereo I guess.

R46 also suggested for the cover to use brushed aluminum with aircraft rivets. That would look pretty cool too.

Thanks for all the ideas guys!

Thanks R46. The storage box does look way better than the jagged hole. Probably have about 8 hours in that one. Next 99r46 box will go quicker!

Mark, I am way open for door ideas. Was thinking of something that mimics the glove box and speaker cover... don't know yet. Believe you used the speaker magnets on the Dodge truck you did?

what if you mimic the rest of your panels with a bead roll cover. toss a hinge on the insdie and a push to open style magnet on the inside.
