Nice work. I've got to ask, it doesn't look like those pieces coming off the gauge are going down the centerline of the dash. Looks off to me. Just my .02¢

I think it's the angle he is standing at with the camera. Seems centered to me. Besides, a guy with that much fab skills will definately check his tolerances and angles before tacking I would think. This is one sick build!

lol, thanks man.

FnLow69 · 11-30-2009, 11:43 PM

well got the dash all welded and smoothed on sunday. also cut out the passanger side floor where i bodydropped it to angle the fillers. I went ahead and removed the inner rocker and made the new filler/inner rocker and it also caps the bottom of the rocker off as well. hard to explain pictures to follow. got the passanger side done today.

heres the dash with the gauge and the end pieces on it.

old fillers removed

New piece ready to be installed

all patched back together

All welded.....

well do the other side this coming weekend.

Thanks, and no they're F6s from Forte Wheel, I'm considering changing wheels yet, if I could sell these for nearly what I have in them they would be gone pretty fast... Would just like 20s in the front and a wider 20 in the back, because now I'm more going for a sport/speed look than I was in the beginning

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 01:10 AM

Well i started on the four link today and got it all tacked up and had to move the driveline notch/crossmember to make it flow with the four link mount. im going to gusset the four link mount. also changed the tube work in the middle. im waiting on my panhard bar kit from SD.com to come in.

Anyway heres the picture.(cell phone pic sorry)

Justin

leftcoast66 · 12-14-2009, 01:58 AM

Wow, that looks amazing... I've been off the board for a few months, and dang, you chopped the top.

67chevemall · 12-14-2009, 11:28 AM

Awsome!!!

my67chevytruck · 12-14-2009, 11:47 AM

nice progress.

Inverter · 12-14-2009, 03:50 PM

That looks much cleaner.Where are the rocker arms going to mount?
Can you get any full view pics of the cab so we can see the proportions?

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 04:07 PM

thanks guys, ya ill get some full cab picture today. the rocker arm will mount over the axle, with the bags in the middle of the frame, they'll be inline with the axle (atleast thats what im hoping for).

*1sik52* · 12-14-2009, 05:23 PM

I see why you spend most of your time out in the garage!

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 10:04 PM

Haha, ya can get distracting sometimes....lol

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 10:15 PM

Only work on it for a couple hours today, got the body mounts gusseted on one side. also took a couple overall cab shots as requested.

Heres the body mounts.

Cab shots.

Couple better quality link setup shots.

Justin

**wancosc356** · 12-14-2009, 10:58 PM

Looks awesome man. When you cut the rockers off the cab, did you have to trim the bed to match or does it line up already?

FnLow69 · 12-14-2009, 11:06 PM

ya i trimmed the bed to match

**wancosc356** · 12-14-2009, 11:12 PM
