'67 Chevy II Project

I notched that rail because it wasn't trimmed properly. The rails aren't much taller, but are a little different. I need to measure to verify. The tolerences on these cars weren't good from GM, as I'm sure you've seen

Yeah I figured out the poor tolerances pretty quick, seeing how nice your work is and the care you're taking to make it just right makes me wish I had a nice table to keep everything true and square, oh and more patience. Can't wait to see some more progress. Did you decide of wheels yet??

[wiedemab]

I was pretty happy with how we had everything fitted up with sheet metal screws so I took it all back apart to finish welding the frame close-outs and made the front and rear flanges (I guess that's what I'll call them) for the inner wheelhouses.

I decided to tig these in since it'll be easier to grind. I made the pieces on the Shrinker/Stretcher.





Front of wheeltub area



I'm hoping to wrap up the other side tomorrow and then start welding it all together for good

Fit looks nice and neat. Good work, check out my last pictures if you want to see the church boys headers in the dse clip.

I saw that.... I'll be interested to see what you have to do to make them work. I'm also considering the Ultimate Headers as an option.

Welding in the DSE tubs for good. We wanted to have the quarters fitted while doing it...... Makes for some uncomfortable welding though.

Add bifocals to that and try it!! LOL


Looking good Brandon!

Yup, I am glad they are hard to see because some of my plug welds above the tubs are disgraceful...
