Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Good Job looks like its coming along. I was on CL and saw this http://lawrence.craigslist.org/pts/1492429879.html Get a grand together and get this I bet you could get it for $900 remember use your age as an advantage . I always pull the "Come on cut a young hotrodder a deal" card when buying stuff at swapmeets.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Update.
Got some work done on one of the fenders. Heres before I started:  Here it is hanging ready to be painted. (ran out of paint)  Lol So I was bored and decided to work on my new battery box. Heres the battery box that was on it lol and the bungee cords bailing twine and zipties were part of it.  Heres the box I made. I think it looks pretty good. The welds arent the prettiest but I never claimed to be a pro. lol  PROGRESS!!

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
Thanks for the comploments.
Heres some pictures. I just went and took them so sorry About the quality. I used the original bracket from the battery box that mounted to the front and welded it to the box in a few places.  Heres were I added a lil bracket to bolt it to the tire well. I just drilled a hole and used a small bolt.  Heres how it sits. It is suprisingly really sturdy. I like it. Ill paint it when I pull the fender and the wheel well to paint.  Hopes this helps.
