Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
No new updates really. I just bought a new house and have a nice heated shop to work in now. Im currently in Canada for 6 weeks but once I get back I plan to get my truck moved to my new place and get things going again. I was thinking of getting it drivable and rocking the patina for a few years. That'd give me time to work the bugs out and save up for paint.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I finally got truck and all my parts moved into my new garage. So I should be back at it again soon. My job training is also complete so I'll be home more often now too. Life is good!

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Started mocking up the bed. Trying to figure out how I want to mount the bed and do the raised wood floor.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I finally placed the order for my front DM. I'm excited for it to arrive so I can get the ball rolling on this build.
Ive been keeping my eye out for a deal on an LQ9, still haven't found the right one yet, but I'm in no rush since I'm not ready for the engine yet anyways. |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I decided to go with the captain fab brackets and wilwood d52 calipers. I ordered the black slotted and dimpled rotors that Keith used on Tiffany.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
I got my upper control arms installed but the bolts appear to be too long. Anyone else run into this?
You can see i have about 4-5mm of bolt sticking through without any threads. |

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
You're probably going to need shims when the front end is aligned, but I agree, a little shorter bolts would still probably work.

Re: '69 SWB | Zoie Jane
Nice progress!
I think I used a washer under the head of the upper control arm bolts to bring them out a little so I could get the nut tightened. Like said above you'll likely be shimming them out anyway for alignment.
