Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
If you're looking for someone to do some awesome renderings check out ctpchevy's work...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=458059. I saw some of his drawings in person a couple months ago, they're top notch...
Awesome job on your truck by the way. I absolutely love everything about it. I would love to do the dropmember setup and lay mine on the ground too, but I'm only 19 and I'm gonna have to settle with the static drop....for now lol. Check out my build if you get time away from your truck!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
very fustrated Mike here !! so i cut all of the 11 guage stuff last night and was mocking it up by tacking it all together, my plan was to tack it all together and then take it to my friends fabrication shop , get it clamped down on a welding table and finish welding it .....well it warped just tacking it together !! what the heck this is 1x3 tubing...how is that warping like that ? is it my crappy harbor freight mig welder ? or should i have had it clamped down even just to tack it together , or would it still warp even if it was clamped down ? the longest beads i ran were probably 1 inch long and about 4 inches apart from each other...i thought that would be ok on something this thick ?? any input ? it is only warped about 1/8 of an inch right now so i think i might be able to straighten that but i have ALOT more welding to do !!
