Where`s the rest of it? I know your further along than what you show.You had the truck body on the corvette frame in your introduction post before. I really like what you`re doing.It takes balls to cut up a perfectly good Corvette.[ddd

Nice work so far.I know you`re probably running out of interior space but a 6" channel would probably bring the body down between the wheels, to match up with the low corvette stance.

 

[philobeddo]

Yes,I am running out of cab room.I maybe should have chopped 4" to 5" off the top instead of 3", that would have brought the body down (aesthetically) a little more.I dunno,may still chop it more.The cab/floor is sitting about as low as I like from the road.Anyway,thats where I am as of now.Next will be finishing metal work on cab,bed and (grill) front end.Once all the tins are done,everything comes off and it's on to the maint,engine/tranny/susp, etc. A ways to go yet....thanks buddy....
