Silvius · 10-14-2007, 09:10 PM

Tigman · 10-14-2007, 09:11 PM

Building a tube frame chassis for my wife a 4x4 with 14 bolt ff rear end and a dana 60 front! It was a total rust bucket. The cowl was really bad so I cut it all out including the inner panels so I could blast it all. Makes a body wonder whats hiding under all these restored trucks. Knowing good and well most people will not take on this far apart. Got a new floor with the braces as well as all the other pieces to build the cab. Gonna build the upper firewall from the toe board up with a setback to be flush with the cowl with no venting for water to get into!

**clay68c10** · 10-14-2007, 10:51 PM

And the truly scary part is how much rust is hiding in there with old Chuck M.

**FleetsidePaul** · 10-14-2007, 11:07 PM

I see Manson too....Thats freaky...put it on Ebay!

earl87gta · 10-15-2007, 01:40 AM

looks good I still can tbelive you didnt just get a new cab.Ii think I have a fire wall thats in good shape if you want one come get it before I throw it a way.
You guys need to say it Jesus and then out it on ebay it would bring more money that way.

JHART · 10-15-2007, 01:46 AM

Lookin good! Its good to see that some people are not afraid of getting after it. Some people just blast it and paint over it.

I wanna see some pics of the camaro!

Bishops Trucks · 10-15-2007, 02:45 AM

Name the truck Charlie, pedestrians beware!

Tigman · 10-15-2007, 06:45 AM

Ole Charlie is gone!! Blasted away! Never noticed that, it's funny what other eyes will see! Not into gloryfying anyone but our lord Jesus!! The Camaro is the one that's been on Dream Car Garage, Hot Rod, Super Chevy,Popular Hot Rodding, Chevy High Performance, Don Garlits pick of the week on inside drag racing.

Bishops Trucks · 10-15-2007, 07:22 AM

I was just refering to a parody of the "Christine Plymouth Fury". I in no way would glorify Charles Manson. Have a since of humor, it will make for a nice day.

earl87gta · 10-15-2007, 07:28 AM

You defently need to start a thread on the Camaro. Sounds like its a sweet car.
So are you going to start a build thread for the rest of it. I love the 4x4 builds.

Poor Ole Charlie. Did you see the Sandwish tha looked like it had the face of our lord Jesus on ebay it sold for a few 100K.

72GMCburban · 10-15-2007, 07:31 AM

Wow! that is a serious project. I sometimes wonder what my trucks look like between the metal, now I am scared to know

Amazing what an imagination can do to you. I was going to ask what are you all smoking But I finally did find the image. I wasted 15 minutes.

However, it looked more like Lenin to me?

67ChevyRedneck · 10-15-2007, 10:52 AM

I've always wanted to cut my cab apart and sandblast everything, but I'm not sure if I could get it back together

Great work!

This is creepy, I see two images.

The second one reminds me of th e clown thingy from the SAW movies.

72BlckButy · 10-15-2007, 02:26 PM

The rails, or should I said the lack there of, looks great.

Tigman · 10-17-2007, 09:18 PM

A few more pictures!

earl87gta · 10-17-2007, 11:47 PM

JCA1972 · 10-18-2007, 02:41 AM

69face · 10-18-2007, 02:52 AM
