66 Crack 'OOOO' Lack
-
well this has been a long time in the making
dustin travis and i have been working on this periodically for about 2 years now.. but now its back in the shop
the car did not make it out last year...... for its deadline
but will be out sometime this year
everything is being touched except for the motor/engine bay
the car has been fully bagged for years
and was we painted it about 4 years ago
now its time to make it nice
cut out all the rust and start fresh
dustin plans on having this car forever
the many rims of the cadi
17" smoothies....
there was something in between this but im not sure what
maybe dustin can chime in
then
22" wires....
then to the present
20" smoothies
now for the good stuff
like i said before all the rust was cut out and replaced with new metal
along with the floor pans
and trunk
all the chrome was sent out for re chroming and is complete
-
the car never really laid out so now we are attending to that
the front needed some trimming
new lower bag plates
and later we are going to raise the motor an inch and section the engine crossmember
right now im trying to talk him into bodydropping it and rolling the pinch!!!!!
a four link for the rear is in progress
more on that later
now to the single hinge rear suicide doors
now to the interior
the interior is getting a killer stereo install
and the seats and headliner were totally re done
-
parts installed for test fit and primed
rear deck fitted with a set of separates and 4 ports for the sub enclosure
some trunk side panels being fitted by shady
thats all for now perdy much up to date
more updates as it progresses -
four link was made and installed
and dustin was hard at work cleaning off the firewall
and getting the body ready to remove
a little over an inch to lay rocker Not pinch!
more tomorrow -
body was completely lifted off this weekend
we assessed the situation
and decided to go ahead and stock floor it
soooooo
everything was removed again for like the 80th time
and the trans tunnel was cut out along with the firewall which will be smoothed
laying pinch now....
laying rocker this week!
-
Nice work
Ron -
we have changed our minds
car is up in the air
awaiting the donk chassis !!!!!
hidious pinch is rolled
-
well the car is officially tore the fck down
i guess you could say this is the redneck way to remove the frame
and the chassis is underway
wacky ass four link
and hideous -18 deg pinion angle at ride height
cross member cut out
new upper 4 link tabs which set the pinion at -3 at ride height and only changes 5 deg throughout the entire suspension travel
and the frame was notched with 3/8" plate
not the prettiest notch but it is strong and will work
there is no room under this car.....
passenger frame is cut and ready to be plated with 1/4"
the whole frame is made from 1/8"
and there are no crossmembers (stock)
because with the body drop the rear floor pans are 1/4" off the ground....
