No, I moved the location of the A-arms to narrow the track width.

yes, and you did an awsome job! im gonna be starting mine on my 71 after I get my shop floor done. yours is my inspiration! lol

Nice to see the truck back together. The image with both doors opened brings out your hard work on the chop. Great work man truly an awesome truck. Makes me wish I had the time to get the back of mine on the ground.

yukon ratrod · 08-05-2010, 06:41 PM

heres an old photo of my 1975 chevy pick up I had after highschool. I had sold it and bought it back. the guy I sold it to had pro streeted it and chopped up the frame really bad. I ended up rebuilding the box and recut and cleaned up the chop, and ended up selling the truck to a close friend a few years back. I got it back about a week ago! I had built a chassis for it using the stock crossmember and ended up selling it to another friend. future plans are to build a new frame and Ive always wanted it black with old school flames. I think I will keep it this time! lol on this truck the door glass was moved back into the door and the vent windows were removed and made of flat glass and ureathaned into place. worked well. anyway check out my most recent project!

not sure honestly...I just know they had manual and powered bear claw latches...I got the powered ones also. I assume the popper has to be stronger on the manual ones. I have a small popper to get the door open as wide as I want (when I get to that project

dv8customs · 08-12-2010, 08:09 AM

The powered ones you are talking about just have the actuator mounted directly to the latch. I don't have that kind, my actuators will be remotely mounted. You don't really need any type of popper to get the door open. The bear claw latches open with enough force to push the door open a bit.

Driveway Dreams · 08-12-2010, 11:28 PM

Been a while since I got on again. Lookin good man. Keep at it. I wish that I could come down for the Risen show. You taking the truck out there?

Too bad you can't make it out for the show and yes my truck will be there. No excuse for missing a show in your home town.

Driveway Dreams · 08-13-2010, 12:04 AM

I look forward to hearing (& seeing) the turnout. It's gonna be huge.

dv8customs · 08-13-2010, 11:38 AM

Just came across a deal to good to pass up! Pics in a few days......

Driveway Dreams · 08-13-2010, 11:57 AM

Any hints?

*BGRAFX* · 08-13-2010, 12:04 PM

Don't leave us hanging like that.

How's the baby doin? Getting much sleep? I had to take my girl to hospital yesterday was running 104* temp. Not good for a 1yr old. They don't know what caused it but pumped some ibuprofen through IV and she's good to go.

Let's just say I wanted 22's but found some 20's that I had to jump on. They will give me a little more fender clearance up front anyways

The baby is doing great, thanks for asking. Sleep is kind of hit or miss but he is getting the hang of it.

Did you see what happened to Nate when he kept us in the dark

looking forward to the surprise!

Driveway Dreams · 08-13-2010, 01:47 PM

I thought it might be wheels.

dv8customs · 08-14-2010, 06:26 PM

Little more sheet metal fun today. Ran out of wire before I finished though...

VA72C10 · 08-14-2010, 09:46 PM

Looks good. Glad you're making steady progress on it now!

dv8customs · 08-14-2010, 10:45 PM

Trying to make a good push on it before Risen. My wife goes back to work after Labor day so whatever I get done between now and then is all that is going to happen for a while.

justpball · 08-16-2010, 09:39 AM

then stop typing and get busy! LOL post up some pics of the new wheels as soon as you can...

dv8customs · 08-16-2010, 10:08 AM
