I think everybody got a case of the warm fuzzies from that.
Commit random acts of kindness, you might just enjoy it. |

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Aint that the truth. The other day I went into Dairy Queen and they asked if I would donate to some kids fund. I says what the heck and gave them a buck. They gave me $2 in coupons. Then on my way out I'm in the giving mood so I jump on the Blood donation bus and gave blood for the first time. They gave me a ten dollar gift card for Lowe's.(I work there) The guy inside the bus says he lives around the corner and has a New dishwasher he needs gone so I got a Free new dishwasher. I think I'm addicted.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I did a little fabrication work on the firewall and windsheild frame. It was nice getting back on the body after spending so long on the frame. The driprail needed to be smoothed out and it came out pretty good. Also deleted the ac holes.
This is all new to me so don't be too harsh!!! I have moved forward with trying my hand at fabbing up parts, my first peice was the windsheild frame patch where I had to cut to lay it back. I made a template and then cut it out. It fit pretty well on my first try.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I finished deleting the drip rail/wire loom gutter and moved to the cover. Pay no attention to all the junk in the truck, it was cleaned out!!!
I used a rubber mallet and a concave jackstand to pound the cover into a slight bend in the center which in turn made it bend to just the right curve to fit the area to be covered. A little prefit and very minimal grinding got it just right. I tacked it on and started measuring my cowl to see exactly how I was going to make it look right. That my friends, is next weekends project!!!

Of course we have to do that occasionally. I did weld some square tubes to the body dolly to keep the tub from sliding off, safety first!Quote:

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
I'm baaack!!! Have been working a lot and just have not had the time to post! My company called me back after being off just one week and I have been working ever since. July 23 is my supposed last day now.
 Back to the project!! Got a few minor little things done..... I cut a big hole in the tub....Just enough to fit the c-notches in! It felt good seeing it sitting on the frame. Even while still sitting on the jacks I was happy to see wheels tuckin!! I should have pulled the wheel wells out first, but you know how it is when you get excited about something.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Since it was a large step I took a few extra pics.
This is the first pic of it layed out almost at zero pressure. This is lifted to almost max. This is a problem, it's not low enough!!! The heads on the bolts that hold in the trailing arm crossmember make the body and frame "teeter" front to back so this will have to be addressed. Limbo contests are gonna be fun with this thing!! Added a fender to check clearance, everything looks good after cutting out for the Slosh Tubz, doesn't look like I'll have to cut into the firewall but things change.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Looks great!
What size (diameter) wheel/tire combo will you be running when it's finished? This will dictate how low it goes.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd
Weld the bottom of that crossmember then you won't have the bolt heads to deal with. Honestly how often do you plan to remove it? But if you do decide to remove it you only have a few welds to cut.
