67 long box
I started this build about 2 years ago and lost a year and a half due to car accident but I've been hard at it since march.

Re: 67 long box
Great progress. What are your build plans?
Keep it original, mild modifications or a full blown trailer queen? Jake

Re: 67 long box
I really like the way that you fabricated the rear sway bar.
You could sell a ton of those.

Re: 67 long box
I hate spending money on parts, this way I know what I'm getting and the quality is up to my standard. Nothing worse that getting parts that are not right. that sway bar was made from chromoly 1" 4140 and 4130 hss 2"x4". I hope it handles well.

Re: 67 long box
Bent the new lip down to stiffen the panel, the repair didn't chew up to much old paint so it should be an easy blend in patina

Re: 67 long box
We just finished my father in laws Hemi Eh. It's a 331 hemi with t5 trany, out of a mustang. It has a clutch and torque converter, very strange to drive. We custom fabed the frame and body parts to match

Re: 67 long box
Doesn't look like it but that was 8 feet of weld. First one done with a coat of primer to prevent rust and start welding again.
