A '69 Build... "Brought to you by Don Juan Productions" Full index added to page #1
As always, for a stud wrangler such as yourself, that's some mighty nice steel fab and welding!
Thanks Brother. Missed not having ya around here for a bit. Great to see ya back!
Didn’t you just post on FB a couple of days ago about how you look in a bikini? Weird man.... just weird.
And it’s done. All welded up and it slipped up to the hanging bolts with ease. Pretty happy that it didn’t get all discombobulated while welding.
So excited to get on another project! Lol I think I’m going to work on the front upper harness mounts for the front seats. No crawling around for a bit.
Couple of pics....

Yeah, I’m fairly sure. For awhile I was going to go with a HOK tangelo, but I’ve seen some of that around and I’m kinda over it. Pretty sure it’s just going to be the hugger orange, or whatever that color of orange is called.
A full orange rig should add about 50 hp from what I’ve been told anyways.

I built a Datsun 510 way back when I was 17. Was going to paint it Red but the paint was too expensive, went with 69 corvette hugger orange! Fock did that look great! "Till I hit a rock wall backwards at 70mph and totalled it"
I need more orange in my life... walk out into the parking lot.. shaabang look atttt itttt!!!!

Thats legit
As long as it's orange. The hugger orange would look great
Dude. That skid came out fantastic. What's the weight?
496 pounds
Yes daddyThanks AJ... it probably comes in at a hair under 80 pounds.
Go to bed!
Lol, it’s still active, just in a small lull.
Been sick AF with today being the first day in over two weeks that I actually feel like a human again. It’s been crazy with two weekends laying on the couch half dead, just wishing I could head up to the garage.
I think I’m going to do some small fab on the rig, and start on tearing it apart again. I need to fix my B pillar from bottom of tub to sliders on both sides as the are a little short now, and redo one of my tube braces from the frame to the tranny skid. After that, I really can’t do anymore till after the tub is off again. That would be the rear hitch mount,
I really want to get everything from frame down, including the drivetrain, 100%. Fuel lines, brake lines, paint etc.... I was going to wait till I have tires to check articulation, but Uncle Sam would like my tire money and a bunch more by April 17. He’s a dick that way!
Then it’s all on tub work, and stuff. That’s at least the plan I’ve come up with laying on the damn couch for what feels like, forever. Whatcha think?
Feel better brother..... internet chicken soup heading your way.
