Re: 1965 C10 - Turbo LS Ratrod

I got to spend 6~ hours welding out my frame rails, 1.5 inches at a time. alternating sides and what end i was welding at to eliminate any chances of the frame being warped by the heat. But, after thats done, it was time to finally do something with the box. It was a hot mess, missing supports. box sides cut up etc. So i had to basically just wing it. i am not going to spend a boatload of money on a box kit when i'd have to cut into it for my fuel cell sump and battery box cables. So i cut the inner fenders in equal arcs, and mini-tubbed it. I went to the hardware store and picked up some 2x6's, carrage bolts and hinges. My buddy had some epoxy resin stuff they use for making tables. I tried to weather the boards so they didnt catch any attention/looked normal but the resin is shiney as sin.. least they are waterproof for life now.
