Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Awesome angled shots!
So what part of the PB kit are you taking off just the body drop?

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Thanks. Yes, the only parts I'm removing is everything pertaining to the Body Drop setup. Everything else will stay the same.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Pulled the body off this week so I can remove the body drop kit. The cab is going to a buddy of mines and he is gonna modify the firewall some more since it is currently impossible to get the distributor in and out.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Just another frame pic with the body off. It sure feels like I'm moving in reverse but hopefully things will head the other way soon. Next up I'm going to pull the engine and change the pan gasket.
Also gonna change all the mounts back to stock 1/2 ton body mounts.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
It's good to see that you've gotten back to it and I'm sure you'll find a way to stay motivated with it.
Earlier in your build I saw your control arms and I was wondering where you picked them up at.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Tonight I set it up on sawhorses, flipped it over and started painting it. The paint I'm using is an Industrial self-prime made by General Paint. It is very durable. I decided to brush it on, I know there will be some brush marks but I am ok with that.
I think the Charcoal on the frame will look really cool with the Gun Metal grey of all the bolt ons.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Dropped my cab off at a buddies for a little more firewall work. He has the is sweet little four door 57' that is almost ready for the road. I just love this car. Although the main body was in excellent shape, the rockers were completely gone, so he repaired them and blended the paint. Turned out wicked !

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
A pic of the engine. I don't know much about in lines, but he tells me it's just about as built as one can be 👌

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Got the frames mounted on a rotisserie for easier painting and basic assembly.
The rotisserie is designed and built by a very good friend of mine. It is a very well designed a well built unit.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Finished painting and got the front end reassembled. I really like tha contrast of the two colours of grey. I forgot that I used my swaybar on my Blazer so I guess I'll have to order another one.

Re: Forever project "The Beast"
Got the rear mounted today. Not really sure if having the rotisserie makes it much easier but it sure beats doing it in the ground. Time to start plumbing things.
