Re: Slammed 1966 GMCummins 12v

We are learning sheet metal as we go ourselves. Greg and I got pretty seriouse when the new floor went in and then we lost our minds and went full one off on the firewall and transmission tunnel. Once we got through that we had enough courage to go ahead and build the front clip.

Best advice I can offer you is be way out front on all the pieces you will need and incorporate them as early as possible to allow you to build them into your truck. Inter coolers and turbo 's have a way of eating valuable real estate then the niceties like AC and properly routed rack and pinions and power steering systems all start fighting for the tiny space you have left. It can be quite maddening if you don't lay it out when the build is still a bare frame.

One thing I did invest in was a top shelf MIG that allowed me to run .023" wire in it. That sure makes welding and patching tin much easier.


Just keep on keeping on.
