Re: my radical 60 build

I would love to see the bed. If I remember right, when I looked through your pics you had some photoshop stuff but not pics of your creation..

Re: my radical 60 build

pics in post # 233 and 234 are about as far as I have gotten...
I have a straight front bed panel to replace the bent one that is on it, and have it set up for the new bed floor, but haven't torn apart the bed to re-install it.
I came to a stoping point with the left bed side I was looking down the fender in the front trying to get stuff lined up, and noticed a "wow" in the bedside, put a straight edge against it and it has a 1 inch drop from the wheelwell to the cab, so I am probably have to re-do that piece, that is where I stopped....

Re: my radical 60 build

Wondering if you have any updates??? Caught this thread and it inspired me to attack some things I wanted to try. Looks great so far and just waiting for some more greatness.

Re: my radical 60 build

....well this is consistent
looks like I work on this once a year...

got the garage cleaned up , and re mocked up the rear and bed...
got the passenger fender lined out, and did some brainstorming on how to finish the top of the back of the bed...

If I am gonna get my shop back this has to get welded up so I am going to go after it.

Re: my radical 60 build

Nice progress. I just rearranged my shop to. Got the 65 back on the lift. Now it's time to get more serious.

Re: my radical 60 build

i think i seen an elcamino based on that year impala , it looked realy good
its going to be hard to shape those inward curves from scratch though
getting existing wings from a wreck or at least having some trimpieces to cap those wings with might help a lot in shaping the wings in the first place

Re: my radical 60 build

I decided against the scoop that I was trying out in post 243. (maybe waiting a year to weld it up does help!)
I ended up with 2 sets of fenders, because the white ones were rusty.
cutting the wheel well out did not leave enough material to form the side, so that was why I was trying to do the scoop.
A brainstorm later , and I cut the piece I needed out of the junk white fender...
it seems to fit and flow right.
I dropped the wheel well about 2 inches, and moved it forward an inch: that seems to put it in the right place .


now I need to get the right side done before I forget what I did on this side!!

Re: my radical 60 build

working on the hood hinges....
cut the ends off some fender wells, capped them and turned them upside down, then bolted a set of 60 Pontiac hood hinges to them (just something I had laying around that seemed to work) then I cut the inside out of a junk 60 Plymouth hood I have to start the hood mount process.....

Re: my radical 60 build

I am trying to over build the mounting area on the hood, 60 Plymouth hoods are problematic in the hinge area, they tend to bend.

so I will weld on some support, and then cover it with a thick piece of sheet metal, all the holes marked are where I will plug weld it to the support and surface....
