This is my 70 4X4 which I converted. I should have started this thread a while ago. Now I have to play catch-up. Some of the pics may be out of sequence so bare with me. Anyhow, here it is.

Here are a few pics of the frame being worked on. Sorry, but I didnt get that many pics of the suspension being installed. I will however, get some when i pull the body off again.

More door

gottwake · 05-01-2009, 02:14 AM

Cool, glad thats finally done.

nuke1 · 05-01-2009, 02:30 AM

WOW, you have done a ton of work there. i really like your direction which you are going, althought going from a lifted to a slammed roadster is gonna be quite a difference. But will be a tonne of fun. i have only seen a couple of ppl rake the windsheild back the way you are doing it, usually they just lean the pillars back.If they have done it the way u are doin it they have sunk it in an inch or more to compensate for the lift at the front where the cowl was. but yours looks like it will come out good. I really want to see you finish this one, it will be one hell of a truck.
