Finally!!!! My first ground up build. 27/28 Dodge

cranny · Jul 23, 2012

put the body on to see how she looks. Left the frame rails long until i get my motor in. then i can burn in my front crossmember. I might channel the body down a couple more inches to hide the luv frame a little more.

Anyway here's where i am right now.

More updates, set the body down over the frame about 4 inches and started building my sub floor.

Cranny. Man that looks great. Can't wait to see it on the street.
Gonna be ready for the Knuckle Scrpers BBQ in the spring? Or better yet Palouse days in a couple weeks?

Nice build you have. what kind of exhaust system are you gonna run? Open headers or full length style? Just curious. Thanks.

cycledog · Sep 11, 2012

Dang, that's almost ready to cruise.

marked my centerline for my spring perch, set it at 6 degrees, and tacked it in.

earthman · Sep 15, 2012

thanks for the update.

cranny · Sep 24, 2012

mocked up my front end somewhat. still have to get my rodends. Also getting my rearend setup where i want it. How do you all like the wheels i got for $20 a set?

cycledog · Sep 24, 2012

Great snag on the wheels. Those will be perfect for some tall skinny tires.
That is really coming along, do you ever sleep?

cranny · Sep 25, 2012

tacked in my lower bars of my triangulated 4 link.

Finally!!!! My first ground up build. 27/28 Dodge
