thanks for the support .... AL
Was already thinking about a chop ???? maybe , after .... got to keep focused....
been reading all day .... and I'm still going to do it! :LOL:
Dad and a couple of his car builder buddies are coming over tomorrow to help measure and remind me of things I should be thinking of..( rear wheel clearance and real world ride height ) so I don't go over board and make sure I stick to the plan.
and his buddies have channeled a few, and I'm not above saying " tell me what I'm doing wrong"
and I have to be thinking of head room and what kind of chop I'm wanting to do later.... so I don't go to far with the body.
Planning on welding braces across the inside and like Al said "keeping the doors shut !" :3dSMILE:
still haven't found that article about the merc but found lots of other useful stuff " even thinking about a Carson top now"
But anyway!... cutting the floor will get me to my goal in less time with less headache . thanks BBB
I'll have the wife take some pixs " because I'll be busy"
hope fully I can start tomorrow evening !!!!!
:LOL: "should have seen my helpers faces when I explained what the new plan was !" >>> :eek: " they ended up weedeating and mowing all day while I was reading and on the phone !" :mad:......... :LOL:
And AL ? where are the pixs of the 50 Ford ? may I take a gander ?
