Jeffs70 · 03-18-2010, 01:33 PM

looking great keep up the great work,
also the hood hinges do they hold the hood up by them selfs or do you need a bar in the front to support the hood?

**67cheby** · 03-18-2010, 01:45 PM

Porterbuilt is in the process of making an add-on gas strut to hold the hood up!! waiting for it to be released

Jeffs70 · 03-18-2010, 04:47 PM

ok awesome Ill wait till then, thank you

GVizzle · 03-18-2010, 08:02 PM

Looks good Mike

Slmd92DIME · 03-18-2010, 08:18 PM

Looks good man. I like the bag mounts

smashingchuck · 04-08-2010, 11:52 AM

Couple things... did you make the battery box or is that a kit, are you planning on sliding the box forward to reduce the gab between the bed and the cab, and are you going to weld a mount onto the that tube work so the front bed support has something to attach to? Looking sweet!

**67cheby** · 04-08-2010, 12:16 PM

the battery box is a dirt track batt box my friend sells them for $40, yes there will be flat mounting points for the bed, and yes the bed will slide forward a little bit

Bazooka · 04-08-2010, 03:02 PM

everything looks great. I would like to build a 67 or 68 someday myself.

**67cheby** · 04-08-2010, 04:48 PM

ya and i want a 60s bodystyle also

**67cheby** · 04-09-2010, 09:26 AM

got the upper and lower shock mount bars in just need to put on the shock tabs now

panhandler62 · 04-09-2010, 10:13 AM

Man... I am sooooo stealing that battery box idea.

**67cheby** · 04-09-2010, 10:16 AM

as many trucks as i look at every day i am sure there isnt one original idea on my truck.. Probably all stolen !!!

Just make sure it runs and moves under it's own power and your good to go......they will not allow you to push or trailer in unless it's in the swap meet....

**67cheby** · 04-10-2010, 09:18 AM

so now i guess i have to having running and driving by my goal date...... stakes just got higher, man that would have sucked to get there and then find this out, thanks for the info

72BlckButy · 04-12-2010, 02:38 PM

**67cheby** · 04-12-2010, 02:43 PM

just got off of the phone with my bodyman and painter, he said it would be done by Oct for the Goodguy show, and he doesnt have it to start on it yet, i guess i should have been more specific and told him the 2010 goodguys show hope he wasnt talking about the 2011 show

72BlckButy · 04-12-2010, 02:54 PM

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 09:59 AM

yesterdays progress... stripped the seat covers off of my buddy buckets, discovered i have one 67 seat and one 68 seat, looks like i will have to contour the foam on the 68 seat to match the one on the 67, Next i hinged the pass seat to fold forward like the drivers seat very simple just took an hour or so to do,, Last i put a 2006 jeep grand cherokee rear seat drink holder in the center of my buddy buckets.. i think it pretty sweet what do you guys think

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 10:01 AM

last two pics

nastyc10 · 04-16-2010, 02:38 PM

**wancosc356** · 04-16-2010, 02:52 PM

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 02:57 PM
