New member new Project
Hi all
I'm one month into project, but it's hot down here in Rocky Point! No AC in the shop, so I'm taking it easy. Did Bell Tech static drop four years ago, when I first aquired it, then got real busy at work and home, now I finally have time to get back into it. Stripped to bare frame, cleaned and epoxy coated the bottom of the cab. Gonna slam it and bag it and just generally clean up and paint most everything (original colors) and put it back together with stock engine and trans for now until I save more money. Plan to go V8 and automatic in near future. Will be asking for advice a lot through this project Thanks in advance, Rick |

Re: New member new Project
I like the idea of the raque and pin steering! How difficult is it to do that setup? Cool project! Keep it up!

As far as I know my brakes, spindles, and fuel tank haven't come in yet. Without them I can't complete the rolling chassis. Got most of the black polyurethane on the frame yesterday and today. |
