Thank you I guess Yea me too... really want to move on to the body and cage. Not much to report but a hell of a lot of work. Disassembled and finish welded all of the tube work. Have some time off, so should get a good go at it this weekend. Merry Christmas to all!

Ok I'll bet most didn't see this coming... got rid of about 35 lbs. of dead weight completed all of the base frame finish welding top and bottom. This week I get the cab up there and start the cage!

Spent a good part of my day cutting the floor out of the truck. Had to laugh about the patches that people had used over the years to repair the floor and body. I cut through bondo, silicone, liquid nails.. the best repair was that someone had boxed the forward cab mounts with plexiglass and liquid nails... looked good covered with under coat.

Still need to trim the outriggers so the cab will drop into position. The lower rocker will be be 1/2" above the bottom of the frame rail. The outriggers will become the anchor points for the roll cage and serve as the new cab mounts. The ends of the outriggers will have plates that are welded to the A-Pillar and rear C-Pillar and floor pan.


Some pics

I'm not sure I understand. Which one of those shouldn't be used?

You're doing an awesome job. Such a cool build!

Re: 66 Pro Street Build (Domeringer)

I'm building my cage so it won't be seen above the bedsides like a 4x4.
Your build is coming along nicely.

Well I sure would like to go that way, but the truck will be going to the dragstrip occasionally and unfortunately without the bars I could go no faster than 10 sec.... building to go 8.50

In my younger days I used whatever it took to keep going, so I'm generally amused by others efforts to repair that way. The plexi and liquid nails did have me scratching my head though... no wonder it felt squirrelly when I was driving it. One time I hit a bump and the hood popped open.

Thank you both! and Happy New Year!

Did get that body in place so... time to bend some pipe.

Re: 66 Pro Street Build (Domeringer)

I'll find a way to satisfy the rules and not have it that way.
Nice to see your updates. They are motivating me..

Thank you... now go to work!

Ok... Sunday update! Got the cab leveled and nailed down. Spent the day getting dimensions to do the main hoop layout. Back to my regular job tomorrow... hope to get cracking on that cage next Saturday.

Had to get the door up there to check the cage inner door clearance, so visited the scrap pile and made this deal up... works great! Here's some pics

Re: 66 Pro Street Build (Domeringer)

Hi Chad,

Yes the back panel of the cab is pretty beat from some heavy stuff sliding forward sometime in it's life. If you look at the first pic in the post, the cab back panel will be clearanced for the drive shaft because of the body drop and motor position. Can't wait to start the body work at this point! Never thought I'd say that! LOL.
