'52 Rot-box turned tire roaster.

Finally, something cool to look at. My buddy Dave and I got my sheetmetal rails tacked together tonight. It was quit a feat bending the top and bottom plating. We made a "bender" so to speak out of an old 14" steel wheel and a link bar end welded to the bench, which actually worked amazing.



Step by step of how we put them together. It took us a while to figure out a decent process to get them assembled, but once we did the first rail, the second one was a breeze.









The final product, tacked together.



Tomorrow night they will be welded and we hope to at least have the front clip tacked in aswell. So far it has been a very productive weekend and it's only just Friday night (Saturday morning for those of you just getting up).

Now finish the truck. K thanks.

We can start being nice to each other again... My beard is back over an inch so I will begin to actually call it a beard again. It's a slow road to recovery, but I know you missed me.

FINALLY! I missed you so much my little brochacho.

Shut up, Hitler.

Excellent.

I'm in for this too! Can't wait to see where this goes!
Plus, your threads are always good for entertainment value...

Thanks, man! I try to entertain, hahaha.

You paid very little for that donor car.

This thread might drive me mental.

To be fair, were we not mental before this thread showed up? Certain we were.

i've got tubular lowers for that rear end for gbody if you want them for cheap. brand new with poly bushes, never used. ill be back in toronto next weekend.

Thanks for the offer, man, but we'll be scratch-building a 4-link in the coming weeks.

You should favor nothing from canadaland.

Shut up, Hitler.

[aLaFleur]

Looks sweet Jeff! You're my fav Canadian!

No burnouts in the donor car!? I am disappoint.

this is going to be one BAD ASS truck mate. I will definitely be subbing to this one.
and i'm with Oxer, the rear tires of that cutless should be painted to a road somewhere

Haha, I'm kinda pressed for time, I need to get this car stripped ASAP and out of the shop so we have space for other projects. I took it for a quick boot up the road Sunday to make sure the tranny works and all seemed well, so I tore it down. Sorry, fellas. I'll make up for it in the spring.

I got the rear-end out of the car last night. Originally, I wanted to try to use it, but I have a buyer lined up so I think I'll let it go. I'll likely wind up using one of a hundred S10 rears I have laying around (again, for the time being).

Also, I managed to find my old AVS 5-gallon air tank (definitely needs some cleaning up and a new bracket) and half of a set of Moroso solid motor mounts. I know I've got the other half somewhere, will just take a little digging.





Once the weekend rolls around, there should actually be a considerable amount of work done to the frame, I can't wait.
