Chopping the top Been a while since my last update. Chopped the top today.

A little more progress. Mocked and mounted the panel truck fenders with 6 inch extension that I made. You can also see how I had to split the running board to match the front fender which actually works out real nice as it lines up well with the rear fender. Also began building the lower...

I think you may be able to see where it enters the front of the cab in some of the pics

I left all the mounts in the stock spots however I did need to cut open the front of the cab to allow room for the frame.

Steering clearance and engine placement Below are some pictures showing the placement and clearance around the stock steering box as well as the radiator and the view of the transmission inside the cab. Going to build a sheet metal tunnel fram out of round stock. Hope these help

Thanks for all the feedback. I did use the stock steering box and worked the motor around it. There is about a half inch between the header flange and the box. It also didn't leave me much room for the fan due to the forward position so I am going to run a thin electric. Let me know if you...

I am. If only my welding was that good..... :) Not sure what color by flat and with some old skool pintstriping And thanks for the feedback!

Sorry about the pic orientation, took from my cell phone and didnt double check before the post. Made some progress today. Zapped the front fender together. I needed to add 3.5 inches to give enough steering clearance and still doesnt look to out of position. Also did some rough fab work on...

Got a set of fenders for the back from a 1938 panel truck. They have the right shape but are going to need some good patch work and be widened with some mounting flanges to fit. Wish I could run fenderless, but dont think i can get it registered.... This should keep me busy for a while

Its not a composite as it's all one year and make however I have no vin on the body for the DMV to inspect

Looking for guidance and experience on registering your rod when there is no vin plate. Ihave a title but I don't think that will do me much good with no plate. Do you register as a kit car? Is that a pain?

Installed the fuel cell and fuel pump brackets. Ran the fuel lines up to the motor. Fabbed up the collectors and exhaust. Running flowmaster 44's so its got a pretty good tone. Mounted radiator, alternator.... Started it for the first time on saturday and broke in the cam. Pretty pleased...

So I'm way overdue for a post. Tough to pull away to update when building is more fun :) Try and get caught up... some members asked for pictures of the pics of the front frame Z location so I tried to get some pics of that. After z'ing the frame, I had to cut the gill and nose to line up...
