Sometimes you just gotta say screw it and start cutting

gringoloco · 05-25-2018, 09:26 PM

Hung some body parts and set her on the ground. I foresee potential problems with speed bumps

**lolife99** · 05-25-2018, 09:30 PM

Looks perfect!

smbrouss70 · 05-25-2018, 10:42 PM

As good as it looks, I'd give up being able to drive over speed bumps!

Thanks fellas! Lower than I thought it would be, but I am digging it hard. Don’t think the long tube headers are gonna work, though...

The stance looks absolutely killer.

Thanks! Looks like the bed needs to come down a 1/4”. A little more low can’t hurt

Very nice work on everything Chris!

**Hart_Rod** · 05-31-2018, 09:19 AM

Good grief! That's the exact stance I want for my '68 Paw Paw build down the road. Looks killer.

Thanks dudes! It’s a ton of work, but the payoff is worth it

gringoloco · 06-03-2018, 12:34 AM

Yup, she’s low. Look at that tire peeking through the headlight bucket

builtbyKane · 06-03-2018, 10:38 AM

I love it, I love it, I love it!!!!

Thanks buddy! Kinda diggin’ It myself

Loosely assembled the bed, still needs a fair amount of tweaking to get it fitting right, and there’s a big hole where the floor and wheel tubs used to be...

aggie91 · 06-04-2018, 09:42 AM

I am following your other thread with the engine updates but its been a while. What bolts did you use for your engine on the engine stand? I tried some 10x1.5mm, 4" long because thats what I found when I researched but they seem to be about an inch too long?

thanks and such a killer build. Great attention to detail.
