Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Sir,
I've followed your build since I first became a member, and seeing what you've done and some of the others on this site. Is a real inspiration to me. I cannot wait to see your finished project. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Eric

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

This build is off the chart...... Got to ask what are your plans for the 8 lug mags that was on the green truck.... Would look great on my daughters build. It is a 72 camper special.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

We are back from college visits at Vanderbilt and UVA, so time to get back on the monster. This morning I am cutting and welding up my bag frame brackets.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I know these look a little strange, but the paint was wet so I couldn't show them mounted. All that is left is to drill out these to mount the upper bag mount.
The right side gets the panhard rod mount too.

Vandy! Your son must be very smart, and a hard worker. The Dores didn't do so well in Tuscaloosa tonight...but like I always say, if anybody gets hurt, Vandy probably has four or five future doctors on the field...

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I worked a while on it after church and got all my suspension brackets fabricated and painted up well. I also mounted my rear air ride sensors up inside the frame rails to protect them as best that I could.

Also seen in the shot is my upper shock mount that was angled the wrong way since I cut it off the frame ahead of the axle and flipped it to the rear. It was going to angle the shock towards the pumpkin instead of towards the outboard area. A buddy told me of a great trick, he said to ream the hole out on one side to get the shock to angle the way you want it, and then weld a thick washer to the side of your reamed hole to create a new tight hole for the shock bolt. Worked like a charm, thanks Chris.
