Another Build ?

Until I have to load up my shop stuff I'll keep plucking away at. I would like to get the body bolted down some how before i start towing it

Added 3 more inches to Channel job, now it's 11", cut off what was the heater tube along the bottom to get some ground clearence [
I'm thinking about a two inch sectioning and then this old fart can step into it

Looks like space for your butt is rapidly disappearing![ddd[ddd[ddd
Might want to get the frame shortened and the body fitted before you cut any more......[P[P[P

I'm having trouble imagining enough room in there as well.[P[P

If you go with the rendition of Doc's which is very cool then, the way the frame rises to go over the axle is going to interfere with any seating.
You can cut the frame and do a rear kick up behind your seats to go over the axle.

Yep, that’s why I posted that. If you put the axle in the wheel well, the frame kick up will be in the seats way. Maybe stop the frame in front of the axle and suspend the rear on semi elliptical springs?

Thanks Guys

Old Iron / Bamamav:
That thought has been in my head since yesterdays cutting
I think i'll do the step-up and incorporate the shorting with it. [cl
Fortuitously I have a some what small butt
I'll a plenty of time to think it out after the move [S

Question

What's the shortest driveshaft anyone has built the worked[S I'll only have maybe four inches of wheel travel[S
I think I'm trying to squeeze five pounds of poo-poo into a two pound box

And, the move is on hold for how long i don't know. Found out there are not any homes for sale in Durango, the realtor one to show and it was a cheapy at $650,000
Looking at Farmington NM, looks like a nice little town, and afordable[cl
Stay warm

Sounds like me on the picture thing. Good luck with the move.

Safe travels.
Don't even get me started on lent out stuff.

It didn't take long to get the word out that I quit loaning my trailers or anything else out.

I should have listened to grams "never a leander nor bower be"
But what the hell, I'm easy.
So here's the rig almost ready to go[cl

You are going to get some looks towing that down the road.

Consider hunting up some quarter panels off a '60's car and past them on it.
