It was fun going back thru this thread. Almost eveything i had done here i have tossed out.
Something about it didn't set right, i quit work and just kept looking at it and after a few months i realized that it looked like a kit i could get from speedway!
I cut the frame back apart, the rear kick is now gone and i pinched the front rails a couple inches. I had to tossout the interior to make room for some suspension stuff as i switched to quarter ellips and the actual frame ended at the back of the cab. I added an ealy style rollbar - just below your head of course - to support the gas tank and some suspension stuff.
I am in the process of remaking the interior, i have just made one other change (i gained a little more seat room by relocation some suspension fastenors), i hope to save what i've done in the interior but if i have to do it for a 3rd time then that is what i'll do.
I just finished remaking the passenger door and have pulled the sheetmetal off the upper section of the cowl to make new. The door latch insert looks wonky in the pic, it must be a combination of angles because it is deadnuts when the door is closed.
The gas tank is '30s chrysler, i relocated the filler and the fuel sender etc, that is what the skim coats are on the tank. I think it was made to set upright.
I am useing cowl lights from an old truck for my taillights - i have no idea how i'll get them red but that is tommorows problem.
The roll bar is chromemoly as well as the gas tank surround.
