Just thought I would share...
 
I think it should turn out kick ass!!

But watch out you will get a lot of crap from people because you aren't lifting it and chopping the fenders to clear 35"s on a 4" lift... :D
 
I say it all looks sweet, just please don't chop the top! Its too awesome of a truck.

Do the bags, v8, rims, etc first. If you really want to chop if after all that, go for it....but i think it will look sick w/o messing with teh body.
 
thats gonna be pretty cool, go ahead and chop it there are plenty of those around. Theres a guy that goes to local shows that has one of these, v8, mustang 2 ifs.

And is that a poor mans riding lawnmower under the grill :haha:
 
mudder... You are the first one to spot it... That's my mower chair. I swear, of all the stuff I have built around the shop... that stupid a$$ chair gets the most attention. :haha::haha::haha:

Someone asked if I am baggin' it for the ride or run it low... I am going to make it lay FLAT on the ground. There will be about 1/2" of clearance between the ground and body because the frame will just that much lower.

As for choppin the top... I'm choppin it, EIGHT INCHES!!! I will have 3 1/4' windows all around.

As for lifting it, I got plenty of 4x4's, And I love each and every one of them. But this little baby is the pavement skinner.

Thanks for all the comments. I am actually going to be working on this project quite a bit and will try to post pics as often as possible.

And for those that know about the '69. I have some updates coming for it too.

If you're going through all the trouble with building a frame and so on why not stockfloor bodydrop it that extra 1/2" so it lays body? Would look alot better IMO.

those pic kinda do... but I had way too much other stuff to work on so it got cut from the list. I was so close to just junking it. I'm glad someone is building it.

Looks sweet Lee.
