Well we got alittle more bodywork done on cab today,,I was feeling sick all day felt like I was stuck in low gear, but O well some work is better then no work.

**youngrodder** · 12-30-2011, 11:25 PM

My truck uses a modified G-body (monte carlo, grand prix, grand national) frame in the front and rear. It was ugraded to air ride suspension. I also upgraded the 4 link trailing arms.

The progress looks great. That has to make you feel a little better.

Well,, here I am again, Man!,,, whats up with the back of these cabs, seems like everyone of them need a skim coat of filler, we are almost done with the cab then the fun begins 1st coat of high build primer.

kart34 · 01-02-2012, 08:30 PM

Any info on the black riv ? cool ride.

xpickup · 01-02-2012, 09:52 PM

2dwn4u, Looks great. The gaps look great too. Can not wait to see it all one color. They always look nice when they are all one shade.

**youngrodder** · 01-02-2012, 11:55 PM

Looking very smooth. What a difference it will make once you get it all one color.
Keep it up.

Marc

2dwn4u · 01-03-2012, 12:45 AM

Chevette · 01-08-2012, 10:26 PM

I hope I can get my 56 looking that good. You're doing a fantastic job on the body. The three window is my favorite AD. Man that looks great!

Is your 56 underconstruction right now? any pics?

Chevette · 01-09-2012, 02:09 AM

Yes, I just started to set the rear suspension up for the frame build. I ordered the steel on Friday. I'll be very busy for the next three weeks so I won't get started on the frame until early Feb.
