Flush mont windshield wil be a nice addition as long as it isn't 20hrs worth of body work to do it to an almost done cab.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Gas tank strap looks great! I built something very similar for my battery. Are you worried about sideways movement with it since I do not see any little stops on the strap to prevent it or is the fit so good that it is not of any concern?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

very nice i wish i kicked myself a little harder to get started on my own stuff the weather is good out here but money and workspace is a little low ......oh whell

about the flush fit , that would be nice it will make a lot less windnoise too , i would do them all around though (one piece side windows too), i seen a video a while back of a guy that made a rearwindow that rolled down electricly , dont know wat truck he used or wat window he used but it looked verry trick he prolly welded in the complete window surround with the channels motormounting and guiderails , mightve used a blazer suburb rearwindow

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

Cheb, your build is truly impressive and beautiful. One thing I noticed is that your not running your exhaust all the way out the back or to the side. You have a turn down under the bed. I think this is going to be a big mistake, I think it will get dust, exhaust, dirt and everything else all over that beautiful freshly painted chassis, and under your truck. And it will raise dust and dirt everywhere you go. Don't get me wrong, your truck is going to be awesome, just a suggestion that maybe you didn't think of? Cant wait too see it finished.
