Thanks, it was much easier than I expected. I should have done it a long time ago. Better late than never.
Now I need to hit up tower paints for some blue/white paint.

Sorry. I have been busy at work.
I bought sheet metal for the tubs but until I can get over to Gab Fabs shop I dont think I will be able to make them.
The stepped arms arent too bad to make, I could make you a set if you want.

Engine is in and running. I dint have heat riser block offs so its loud, I will buy some and toss them on. Brakes are bled except is seems I have a bad soft line so I will replace it next.

CLICK ON PIC FOR VIDEO

I also decided to try flattening out a wavy curled up interior panel.
I hit the whole back side with the mist setting on our shower then put a shitload of weight on it and let it sit for a few hours. Worked really good, I bet it would work better in the summer time.

Still need to make quick pins for the shocks so I can pull them out of the way when I jack up the rear since the tire drops so far (adjustable spring plates)
Then I will be able to drive it to my friends for rust repair.
Getting new inner rockers, long rocker, cargo rocker,front floor sections, cargo floor sections and a few small things. Then I will build the tubs and seat frame.

Would love to see more pics and some upclose pics, maybe pm me with some measurements and so forth. Any help is greatly apprieciated. I am putting 3 together to make one. will end up with a 23 window when finished, I know some people may say that is sac religous, but it is what I want and have the means to do it.

I am willing to help any way I can. Let me know. Cool

Chase-What is that steering wheel off of? It is very interesting. Nice job on the tubs, BTW. Very subtle.

What ever suspension help and lots of pics, putting a lot budget build time into this, as I do as much as I can with as little as possible, Like your rearend on it and the front end stance.

The wheel is off an late 39 or 40s chevy. It was splined but also had a woodruff key so I just filed the splines down to the correct taper and it worked perfect. Also the horn button fits perfectly. Cool

I had an old Merc wheel on the mango, I like using stuff you dont see often.
I made the tubs out of too thin a gauge sheetmetal so I will be making new ones.

65VW69Stang, what are your plans? There is a HUGE amount of info on this site to answer any questions you have.

Firstly, kudos for warning people about carnage, and doing so without getting belligerent and defensive. It certainly makes the post more pleasant to read.

Secondly, kudos on what looks to my eyes like excellent craftsmanship. Those are some fine looking welds, too.

cage66 · Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 3:41 pm Post subject:

Thank you, Im an iron worker so welding/fabbing isnt too big a deal for me sheetmetal is a little harder to deal with (less forgiving).
I usually dont post my builds here because I try to avoid drama, especially online drama. But I know some people will appreciate it and maybe I can help others out. The people who dont like it arent wrong, its just not their style. I figured there is no excuse for people to come on and bash me with the warnings.

Not sure what happened to this picture but here is the trimmed cradle
