[VTrocker]

ha! I wish. Father in law was kind enough to let me use his shop and store (short time) cruiser. it's about 20 min from home (condo).

Man that looks great. I might have to follow suit.
Question: What did you do to replace the rear body mounts?

nothin'. the body will slowly be deleted.

 

[VTrocker]

progress….. baby steps… work has been nuts the last two weeks. got out "early" this after noon….
deleted rear frame and cross member, "finished" bob welds and grinded down, filled in some off the ol' flare holes i had just plugged 2 years ago, and some other small stuff….

 

[VTrocker]

Looks good. How hard was it to weld the sheet metal?

I had not welded sheetmetal before.... I got the hang of it near the end..... Lots of boogers to grind down.

How is this project progressing? I rolled my 94 recently and a buddy is encouraging me to do this exact thing to it.

Gonna do same to my 60 but keeping the roof also new body seen as how I don't have any straight panels anymore

I'm waiting for finished pics of this, now I know why I haven't seen it rolling around the hood. What does it look like now?

He kinda fell off the face of the earth. Saw him at FG and have not heard from him since. Not good.

I'm going to help cage this bruiser. Sometimes life gets in the way of wheeling, but the itch always comes back!

 

[VTrocker]

like lee said, picking up some 1.75DOM next week and will be laying cage in no time. That, new rear link bushings, F/R locker rebuild/cleaning, and maybe might actually wheel this piggy this year! hope all is well with everyone!
