SILVER Star
So I figured i would start a build thread for this turd I'm way too involved in. It's a 1978 that will be getting sprung over and stretched by flipping the springs. 37's will be the tire of choice with maybe widened stock wheels. Here are some progress pics since starting a couple weeks ago. Brown Santa has been bringing stuff damn near everyday.
Pulled the old body off that was pretty rough with rust and half ass patching. Picked up a 73-74 tub to use instead. I like the barn door style better. Anyway, that had about 235lbs of bondo and 126lbs of fiberglass in it. Makes no sense to me, why people do that. So with all that off I gt a pretty good starting point. Cut the old quarters out of the '78 tub and mocked them into place. May have to go back some more once I flip the springs. Should push the axle back 4-4 1/2".
