Re: Bmi built 66
Got the bags mounted and some air lines hooked up. ( note that nothing is greased and the watts link wasn't fully bolted together in the video)

Ya I'm not really sure. I've got the bed in the garage and it needs some love. Some used bondo to fill all the seems. And they tried to lift the bed by strapping it from the fenders. So it's got a bow in it. As for the rest I haven't seen any of those parts yet.

Re: Bmi built 66
frame is off the frame table.

the owner of the frame has another truck that is on transport wheels and we put them on the frame to see how it looks. Note the front tranny cross member is stopping it from laying out all the way at this time.

Im pretty excited to see this setting in the drive way! I think for my first back half its turning out awesome.
