Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
dash is awesome, and the front clip setting in the shop is so cool, I know you have to put it back on the truck but man it looks great sitting there, talk about a killer man cave table

![]() ![]() well i been getting some work done got the crossmember all done.. didnt really take any pics while cutting it up. ![]() ![]() test fit ![]() ![]() raised the gear box 2 inches to match ![]() i lowered the bumper 1 1/4" and i lowered the front body mounts 1/2". I am going to lower the center body mount 1/4" and adjust the bed to match the lean of the cab since my bed is adjustable. I want some rake in the stance. so the rear will be about 1 1/2" off the ground and hopefully the front bumper will lay on the ground. it will be close ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() all painted up ![]() ![]() all i have to do now is notch the frame for the steering, install a u joint on the steering shaft and notch my control arm then i can start putting it back together

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Nice work on the pancake cross member.
You mentioned about having a slight rake when done. Are you working towards laying frame in the future? Dig the front end sittin off to the side. |

![]() ![]() ![]() got some more work done today. i got it back as a roller now. all i have left is the steering shaft u joint (gotta order one) and raise the engine mounts. Im not sure if you small block guys had to do this or not but the drain plug on my oil pan was about 1/2" off the ground before i modded the crossmember. so looks like i need to raise it about 2 inches. Im sure that will open i new can of worms to make all that work. ![]() ![]() anyway here are a few pics ![]() well the bumper doesnt touch the ground but i guess its close enough ![]() not the best pics but you can get an idea of what the stance will look like ![]() ![]() ![]() more updates coming soon. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
You've got some killer fab skills, brother. I'm diggin' the truck!!
I actually like the fact that it's not dragging the bumper. I like my stuff slammed, but the whole "laying frame" thing doesn't look nearly as cool as a '60-'66 with the perfect rake. To me, the forward-leaning back window looks even cooler when the chassis has the right rake.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
thanx for all the cool comments guys!!
I got a little bit of work done today. i got most of the notching done to get the front clip to fit. my back got tired after wrestling that thing around 4 different tries ![]() ![]() bad news is my wheel tubs will need to be moved up about 3/4 inch ![]() ![]() ![]() i should have taken the advice i was given early on and just made them extra big then. this will be the third time ive had to work on those front wheel tubs ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the front clip is being held up about 3/4 inch off the mounts because the tires are hitting the wheel tubs. once i get it mounted down where i need it though you really wont be able to tell i dropped the bumper as much as i did ![]() ![]() ![]() after i gave up on that i got the tranny pulled off to get ready for rebuild and get the engine on a stand. here are a couple of non action shots.. lol ![]() ![]() also ive been doing alot of drawing lately so give as xmas presents to family. here are a couple little bit of glare on this pic but you get the idea ![]() ![]() going to try to get that front clip knocked out tomorrow stay tuned ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
Dude your artistry skills are phenomenal! You should probably be using that as a profession, but if you're like me you'd rather keep it as a hobby. I gotta admit though, your talent outweighs mine.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
You certainly know your way around a pencil and some paper man !!
I have to ask if there are certain things you do and don't do in your garage there. I am always amazed at how clean your shop looks and it occured to me that if I did not weld, grind, and paint in the same area as my build, then it would not be so freekin dirty all the time. Your truck just keeps looking better and better dude ![]()
