Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
thanks for all of your input , it is appreciated, this was my last idea , so hopefully it will turn out looking right, im thinking about shooting it with a quick coat of spray paint ,satin black , so i can get a little beter idea of what it will look like finished, the fenders flare in the front and rear, which is kind of cool because it gives extra turning room

You can use your bed mount rails as a reference point to see how close it will be to the bed floor if you don't have the bed on or available. If the diff is not going to poke through the bed at the resting point you want to achieve then it might be worth the effort to rework the frame notch structure to try to get it all below your relocated bed floor.

A little contouring at the forward transitions to the original inner fender will finish the look. You are on the right track and making good progress.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
great idea i wouldnt have come up with it unless i had the stuf laying around and would be in a creatve mood , it looks a lot more like it belongs there than a trailerfender , i wouldnt be suprized if there more people that going to use this trick in the furure
i've seen sumtin simulair used once when the set an engine back inside a car and needed to put the firewhall back they used part of the bucket of a wheelbarrow they just cut it to size welded it up and they where done in no time flat , looked good too with the compound corners on the bucket and all that
__________________
i got a job again and having fun at it too idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts Last edited by watahyahknow; 08-25-2010 at 08:57 PM. |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Looks like it is about 9" above the top of the frame rail at the center line of the axle. How tall is the frame notch?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
It is really starting to take shape. That little change to the wheel wells really made a big difference. Great work.
