Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Very nice build. You have great talent. Did you build the shop and house with Insulated Concrete Forms. Looks a lot like the stuff I built mine from. Think it was called BlueMaxx at the time. Love the tools you have. Wish I had made my Shop/ Apartment bigger, Lots bigger like yours. Again, great build and talent. Jim

Awesome job on raising the rear section 3". That is a cool mod for sure. Looks a ton cleaner than a Z notch. Nice!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Your work is looking slick. Any reason you chose to install jack screws vs coilovers? Cost? What are you going to do with the frontend?

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
thanks, i started with bags but you dont see air in race cars. i did coilovers on a 71 15 years ago. trying something different. working with steve at hotrods to hell in northern ca. he builds alot of silver state classic cars and specializes in truck arm tech. as this project snowballs we have decided to build a new front x member with all new geometry. 2" 3 piece front sway bar and adjustable coilovers up front. loosing the steering box and using a woodward power rack. the spindles and hubs are all off modern cup cars as is the rear end, i want to push vettes! check out hotrodstohell.net he has new truck arms in stock

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Looking amazing! I absolutely cant wait to see this chassis completed. This is the kind of top notch work that most of us envy and few can complete. Great work!

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Thanks! I wish I had the skillz that these people possess. It's very cool to sculpt with metal like they do. It's artwork. Anyway, perhaps these build threads will give you inspiration for the project to follow this one.
