wayno Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 My Nova looked like that, I had to put extensions on the hi-jacker shocks to get it high enough for the tires to clear the rear wheel wells, that was in the late 70s. Back then I seen people with wrinkle walls on their cars with inner tubes inside them driving on the street. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 It's amazing how far we've come. Back in the 70's, nobody even had a tubing bender for building their own roll cages, now it's not uncommon for a home garage to have a CNC mill. Body mods these days are easy, because the tools have become so inexpensive. 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Looks great. I thought you said a while back they were going to triangulate the control arm geometry. 1 Quote Link to comment

It will be a Aeromotive fuel cell with fuel pump in tank now. 20 gallon. 24x20x10” and we will push up to underside of bed to hide. 45 minutes ago, d.p said: Holy shit man. For once I am speechless.

He did not see my rear end until I brought it. He did not want to weld to pumpkin. Not that he can’t by any means. Just did not want to ruin it. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Bed should be mounted and going unde the knife, will try and post pics tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Couldn't do a truss with a center pickup or side pickups for triangulation? Not enough room? 1 Quote Link to comment
