A little update.... Got boxing plates fab'd and welded in as well as my recycled crossmember. I also got my tubing bent for my 3 link upper bracket. Now I just need to trim it to fit.

Looks good!! Now paint it!! :thumbsup:

Well a small update. I picked up (feel like I stole it) a barely used tko600 off of CL a few weeks ago and ordered up a quicktime bell and so I decided to pull my 6.0l off the crate and tear all the truck acc off and put on my used weiand intake on and set them up in the chassis for some motivation. I'm gonna try and spend a little time on it after I get back from sema. I am trying to finish up a 69 chevelle resto I have to have finished in 2 weeks to deliver back to the customer down in cali on my way to Vegas so I wont have much free time to spend on it until then but it sure is hard not work on it now that I am finally making some progress.

Had some down time today while waiting for parts for another project so I decided to spend a little time and narrow the rear frame rails 3" per side. I had to cut out my rear crossmember and 3 link upper mount so I will have to redo that as I did not originally intend on narrowing the rear frame. I also ordered the new RideTech single adjustable coilovers front & rear for the car and they should be here some time next week.

Just a small update. had some time this morning to fab up some gussets and got them all tacked in place. Now I just need to cut out the flat plates to finish boxing in the gussets and then do all the final welding.

and hope everyone is having a happy and safe Thanksgivings. :cheers:

Keep up the good work Luke. Looks good.

Nice, Luke. Looks a lot like my own Malibu. Really want to do something similar to mine to get more drive time ( than a 1/4 mile at a time). Got mine in '72, 2 years after high school, and my 2nd car. Thanks for posting and giving me some incentive to get to work on it, again. Brought back a lot of memories.
