'67 Chevy II Project

[wiedemab]

Welding the rocker in.

[wiedemab]

Capped off the front of the rocker and started a mockup for the front lower fender mount.

Added some additional locators for the framerails.





And -- gone is the back of the car!!!

[wiedemab]

Test fitting the rails.



I also test fit the trunk pan. All of this stuff will be fitted a bunch of times with screws and clecos before any welding is done.

Also - to note: the doors were filled to the old quarters prior to final removing them at the factory spot welds and won't be removed until the new quarters are fitted.

It's not much of a secret that I'm a big fan of DSE's stuff, so I was happy to finally be able to put my money where my mouth is and buy some parts from them.

Basically everything with the exception of headers and a fuel tank - I'll get that later.





SKF bearing upgrade.



I won't bore you with too many pictures of their parts, but it suffices to say they are like pieces are art -- -nice stuff!

[wiedemab]

OK - - a couple more pics of my favorite part!

I find myself just staring at this housing from to time - - Love it!





The welds are just plain pretty!

[wiedemab]

Back to drilling spot welds.





This pretty well catches up to where I am today. Next steps are to fit up the quarters and tail panel.

I'll probably post pictures in slugs like this - -I get busy with work (my real job) and trying to keep this project going....and I have a family, and other hobbies. If you want to see any specific pictures, ask - I probably have them. I just tried to grab the highlights so far.

Thanks! I've been posting pics on Facebook and a few people have been bugging me to start a thread. I'm pretty pleased with the progress considering I hauled it to my house on March 27th of this year and for the most part, I'm a one man show working on it after the kids go to bed. Dad has been a huge help - he's been doing body work for - - -well, let's just say a long time! He's my consultant!
