Well i finally rounded up enough pics for a halfway decent build thread so here they are.

Frame

scotts62 · 12-06-2008, 06:22 PM

More

scotts62 · 12-06-2008, 06:26 PM

Ya some more..

Its a little farther but these are the most recent, there will also be another tank on the other side of the fuel tank but its not cut out yet.

joe231 · 12-06-2008, 06:45 PM

cool man!
now you need to get that camaro done and get busy on the '62 again!
....like i have room to talk

TimE · 12-06-2008, 07:20 PM

All I wanna know is where are ya gonna haul stuff at?

j/k Scott. It's coming together nicely.

Keep us updated on pics!!! You know Joe will bug you if you don't!

On a serious note, when you get the frame finished will the front crossmember/LCA's be on the ground aired out? Or are you going to set it up with a "safety factor" just in case? Also diggin that 9". Can't wait to see it in person next summer.

scotts62 · 12-06-2008, 07:39 PM

Thanks Joe, actually about to try and start the ol camaro here in a bit, so if you hear a loud boom at your house you know what it was

Thanks Tim, ya the only hauling in this one after its done will be foldup chairs

CA's are sitting on the ground now might make a oh cheeit safty for it up front but ill get to that when it gets a little closer. Ya it should be lot farther by the time you swing out next summer, now that i said that Joe will hold me to it so i had better huh

I like what you are doing with your center counsel. That's how I'm doing my 63.

1966gmc · 12-06-2008, 08:23 PM

*drools
I found one of them on a site about a year or so ago and cannot find it now. What a great way to be different and get rid of a metric ton of weight. Looks good man

joe231 · 12-06-2008, 08:25 PM

yeah and not to mention get rid of those dirt and moisture trapping fenders

No problem Joe

Ha, you ain't tellin me nothing. Last winter when I re-installed my engine, one of my hinges decided to tweak and wouldn't shut. I removed them to install new ones and almost got killed by that titanic sized hood. Good times
