Hey Kimber, a big Canadian welcome to RRR. It's good to see there are some young ladies taking up the torch too. Your truck looks sweet, keep us posted on any improvements you make to her.

Hey guys, I just reread this post and there is something that I missed in the original tech. If you need to make more that one cut on the glass you need to make each cut and removal of the cut piece separately. Meaning never doing more than one cut at a time and most importantly, you have to let...

What? All this time and nobody thought that was funny. lol :D Man, I kill myself.

I've been looking at your rear window dilema and have come up with a solution for you. What you need to do is cut off the ark or curve of the frame on each side. I would say measure in from the egde of the window frame towards the center 4 or 5 inchs. The best place to cut will be where the...

That was exactly my point about the window frame now having a twist in it. Your going to find that the A pillar part of the window frame is going to need to come in more than the B pillar end, thus causing a twist in the glass. However as I said you can deal with this easyier if you put the vent...

Yes, I did it preacher, but more because I also stretched my cab. (made longer doors)

So!!!! That's what you get for listening to your wife. You should have done one of these...... When the car is all done and painted and she asked again why you didn't add a door your answer is simple and effective aaaaaaaaaahhh, oh, yeah, right............... sorry! But then what do I...

IMO I definately like it with the box sides better. What's the issue your having with the steering?

A big welcome EH! from a fellow Canadian.

Hey Dmw56 your truck is really looking great. I have to commend you for how fast your moving along. I would however like to offer a little advice on your chop ( it does look great btw ) I know a fellow up here that chopped his exactly as you have, meaning without widening the roof as it came...

Thanks Ratty, yeah I knew the WAR wasn't the best, but it came cheep. I'm not planing on running and crazy horse power. I'll be happy with 275 when I'm all said and done. Just enough power to get out of my own way. :D Now if I were to run my 454 that came out of my Chevelle that would be...

Well it's long over due, but now it's time for some updates. I've been very busy at work with a customer project, but I have been making time for my truck as well. Last summer I picked up a Ford 9" rear from a 60 Montclair which is the perfect width for my truck with out needing to be narrowed...

If compression is what your after then you should have hardened valve seats installed in the exhaust valve. It' takes some machining but worth the effort. Actually it should be done regardless, just to deal with the nolead fuel. Just a question here for myself. What kind of horsepower can you...

That's a sweet project you have going there. Keep those updates and pics coming. You might like to check out my build, it's a 51 F1. http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1392

Welcome Ian, we're always glad to see more guys joining in on the fun. One rule though....... once you start a project you have to keep us posted with LOTS of pic. :) Do you have anything particlar in mind that you'd like to build?

This is a 69 Wildcat that I did for a customer two years ago. It has the big 430 auto, and air. I did a full frame off on this one with a complete new interior, top and chrome. A totally cool ride and lots of thumbs up.

I'll second that sentiment!

I think it's great. Looks like you have it working pretty good for you.

Man that Bonehead has got some skills !!!!! I love it.
