So ive been meaning to post some more up to date pics but they were all on my phone. I get bad about not taking pics during the work cause i just get cought up in what im doing and documenting it is just an after thought. So heres where im at right now....
1. Clipped the drip pan off the sides and tach welded the roof down.
2. Replaced the rocker box on the drivers side.
3. Lots of little body work here and there filling gaps n such.
4. Building a tube frame chassis. All 2" .120 wall DOM tubing.

Haha thanks man, yea to each his own i guess. Theres going to be a lot of people that think it is stupid or gaudy yadda yadda which is fine to me as long as they recognize and appreciate the fab work that went into it thats all i can ask for!

Haha thanks man! Yea ive basically become best friends with a bench grinder. All of the notches are done free hand so as the project went along you learn some tricks. Primarly whatever you think you need to take off, material wise, grind off about half and test fit haha!
The car if its blue is a 71 challenger rt with a 383 stroker. If its a truck then its a 59 chevy fleetside with a crate 350 regardless thanks!

I know about take about half off other wise you end up with a pile of tubing that is worthless to anyone other than the scrap pile.

Yeah, it was the Challenger. I'd love to have one some day!

Haha! Yea i learned from the first messup to always cut the long pieces first that way if and WHEN you mess up you can use that piece on a short piece.

So started welding the chassis together and its just taking a bit of time cause just want to make sure it doesnt warp real bad by heating up. So the technique is just weld a few joints then do some body work and let it cool down. When body filler is applied while waiting for it to harden weld a little bit more ect.

In the mean time i transfered the body from my house where alot of the work was done to it and brought it over to my friends shop so that i would have a bigger spot to work on it as well as making the chassis mating alot easier.

68burbanontherocks · 05-19-2012, 03:35 PM

Body transfer

68burbanontherocks · 05-19-2012, 03:37 PM
