rutbeer said:No, no, no....that vette is way too complete for your next project. I think you should build an FJ45 lwb truck, but with lomusass's tub on your own stretched 40 frame. Shoot, lomusass might even stretch the 45 body for you so your stretch legs can get in under the wheel and work the pedals.
Seriously, the prices are pretty reasonable, and you'd spend a lot less time on something like that than what you just did rebuilding this entire body from scratch. I'll send you photos of how the 45 frame is factory stretched from a 40.

That way the head is round and flush and kinda matches the bumper. I plan on turned the square portion of the bolt down to .500" in the lathe. Even though it doesn't have the square I still think it will catch and tighten.

merbesfield said:thanks for the templates. off the bumper subject, but were you satisfied with the brake booster bracket you used which clears that body support? where did you get it? did you see "Daves 45" where it looked like the body support was moved to the side. i don't think that was factory? see pic.

my LV radar went off...false alarm though, it came across that you wanted to give me your LV because of a missing wiper arm.![]()
treerootCO said:Been moving my mom every day for the past week and working all night as well. This week was worse than death wrench 2006 when I decided to paint the 40 one week before CM06.![]()
I'll round up the parts and get them in the mail for you. Did Steve tell you I was planning on taking a vacation out to MN when my mom called and told me she was moving.![]()

I *have* to get back to Kenora to see my family this summer. You'll be getting a visit from me as well when I do.
