Re: baclay9's 83' SWB Build
 
yeah i havent started a build thread..its been very slow. traded my chevelle for the truck then lowered it and found out it needs a new frame so its stripped down to cab and frame and getting ready to put cab corners and rockers on it and shaving the firewall and gonna do a frame swap this spring when it warms up. im working out of a 2 car garage so space is very limited for me . i will start a build after i get some pics when i do the cab corners and rockers

Cab is all in primer. Layed it down pretty heavy so we could block it back down after mock up. Next thing will be the doors and core support.

Mocking it up one last time to make sure everything is gonna be good. A little more moving around to do but it is pretty close.

No, ended up getting a new project and parted this one out. This truck was spiralling out of control into something that was going to be so nice I would never want to drive it. That is great and all but just not what I started out wanting.
