  1. No sweat B....after removing the center get the calipers out measure what you need removed, then a course sanding stick...SLOW HERE measure till you are narrow and square. if you need a rim edge a short pc of rod will do it...cut and glue

  3. Not what I was expecting.....MUCH NICER!!!!!
  4. Great to see you back Kyle! This IS gonna be killer...
  5. Itching to see this one B !! Love the Potvin idea...great look and with a tube frame...whats a few inches!! I like the body work...IMHO drop the front of the roof a smidge....and a degree more rake on the A pillars..you'ld have to section the roof a bit.....BUT as always just go for it!!!!
  6. That is uglier than the studebaker
  7. Then it must be real.........
  8. gotta agree...this is killer!!!!!
  9. Quick answer is with a zona saw. All bodies are different , so one answer does not fit all Tim Boyd did an article a few months back...October 2009 It was in SA. 32's are easy as you can section in 2 places......this one was cut at the top of the sides...do not forget if you section the body you must do the interior also This cab was cut at the bottom.....
  10. listen to Mark...I would add to stick with sanding sticks...easier to block out and square things up.....I use Black, Grey, and Pink grits....(100,180,220) or close

  17. Lots of new stuff done this week.....not much to see as the sandpaper and sticks were busy but did finalize the firewall, stance, wheels , frame.rear suspension and floorpan is boxed in. Interior is getting ready for a herd of Naugas to run thru... The back clip and pan is primed and sealed...only a few mold lines(across the middle of the trunk .....real fun) body drop sits level so the frame got a couple of coats of gloss black will do some more motor assembly as I did build a killer set of dual pipes and turned tips for the Hot Stovebolt Senior......
