camaro__thunder · 03-17-2006, 03:40 AM

The firewall will be done this weekend... need to get some more $$ for tires now, I am getting the underdash brake setup first, and it's expensive!

FnLow69 · 03-20-2006, 02:50 PM

do you have any problems with the bascspacing on those centerline wheels i was looking at those but in 20's but was told the backspacing was to much....

Chevy_68 · 03-21-2006, 01:19 AM

Looking good man I have my entire firewall shaved as well!, as for SIXTY8c10 i'll try to post some progress pics of my truck 4 ya n sorry it took so long to respond just hardly been getting on, but i got tons of new pics so yeah. my bad though.

bagged81 · 03-27-2006, 10:01 PM

Here is a question. It may be stupid, but I am going to ask it anyway, haha. I am not sure how similar out trucks are but my bumper is level with the bottom of my rocker panel. Right now, I have 3" spindles and a 4.5" Z on my frame sitting in my garage and the bumper is 1/2" off the ground and the rocker will sit flat. If I wanted to cut the rockers off (red area) so that the doors layed on the ground, then what do I do about the bumper area (circled with ?)? Would I have to cut say 3.5" (height of the rocker) off the bottom of the bumper? Did you run into this?

camaro__thunder · 03-27-2006, 11:36 PM

new pics this week for sure.... been working Overtime @ work l

The bumper area: I am just going to drag the bumper FLAT on mine.

bagged81 · 03-28-2006, 07:50 AM

Ok, I reread your original post.

camaro__thunder · 03-30-2006, 01:22 PM

Heres some new pics FINALLY!
Like the crossmember and upper control arm rework ? I cant run 15" rims with my new lowers either they touch the rim with spindles.
I still have to drill the hole for the column, and wait for the underdash brakes to get here.

Are you getting enough oxygen sitting up that high in the air?

camaro__thunder · 03-30-2006, 07:05 PM

Hey its only 4' 2" How tall is yours?

When/if I do finally decide to chop the top it will be under 4'

hotrodhomi · 03-30-2006, 11:32 PM

Please don't chop the top. It looks good as it is.

FnLow69 · 03-31-2006, 12:16 AM

looks badass bro... are the BYC upper and lower arms? cant wait to see the 22's.....

camaro__thunder · 03-31-2006, 10:39 AM

Thats a NO on the control arms... they are one-offs

I am however selling the BYC LCA'S for $100 you would just need to make a center Shaft, get bushings and balljoints.

FnLow69 · 03-31-2006, 11:30 AM

ok the arms look sweet, i went with ART UCA and LCA.

bagged81 · 03-31-2006, 02:27 PM

Is that motor going to fit under the stock hood?

Ditto.

camaro__thunder · 04-01-2006, 02:21 AM

With the way it was the carb held the hood up alone... If I can manage ground clearance I will lower the motor some. thanks guys!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-01-2006, 08:59 AM

Any idea how the hood will fit?????? Looks like it will be sitting on top of the tires??

dwcsr · 04-01-2006, 10:58 PM

Now would be the time to put in the rack if your still thinking about it.
I just re-did my to eliminate the possibility of bump steer.

FnLow69 · 05-04-2006, 12:49 AM
