you have to talk to my daughter she really likes it,I hope to:: have it at the art of noize show and she will be driving it

64shortc10 · 01-24-2008, 01:58 PM

Dino,

The burb is lookin good! I was almost certain that it was going to end up on the C4 chassis though. I amagined it layin frame on some big rollers, but I also amagined it rained money from the Arizona skys

I really wished you would have keeped the graphics. j/k. Well I bought some conversion axles and a Kp notch for my truck, just need some time to install them now. I was going to ask about the ride on the 78 but I didnt think it was drivable yet. So the Kp 6-link is definetly worth the extra pennys? Because i'm still saving mine to get one for my 64! Keep building that varity of custom rides cause i'm loving them. Later

Wow a girl that drives a bagged truck. Is she single? haha JK

Dinos63 · 01-27-2008, 02:52 PM

I may have found my donnor engine and trans, it is from my 1994 gmc sub,i had this truck for ever.I sold to a kid and he crashed it and now wants to sell it back, I was think of using the complete dash, seats drive train, the huge system in the truck.My 94 sub has a ton of great parts still on it.I know this has been done a lot of times,but the sub was part of the family it was what my kids learn to drive in.so it would kinda be like a heart and lung transplant.but i was trying to keep it old school.i even get 20s and 18s boyds i had made..... which may not look bad a-- on the 66 sub,well i will see the truck on saturday. before the crash

Dinos63 · 01-27-2008, 03:01 PM

Frizzle Fry · 01-25-2008, 12:30 AM

Looks like someone did a 1/2 way decent job on that crossmember. It's no dropmember but not bad. I love the V6 emblems. What's going in it for motivation?

Great shop! Looks like you can build a few with the parts you have laying around.
Do you have any "tech" photos of that crossmember being sectioned?

Thanx
