Thanks buddy, So i got the rest of the firewall in and have started doing the floor, the rocker boxes were toast so had to replace a good bit so just been doing that and alot of card board cutting!!!!

68burbanontherocks · 07-13-2012, 04:50 PM

So had to cut out the rest of the floor in order to get the bottom part of the firewall in place, it is kinda a pain but now its all done and im pretty happy with how it turned out.

68burbanontherocks · 07-13-2012, 04:54 PM

So to fix the rocker boxes and reinforce them for the floor i put a 1x3 1/8 rectangle tube parrallel to it for the floor to slide into place and the body mount cross bars to weld to. Should be pretty stout.

68burbanontherocks · 07-13-2012, 04:58 PM

So next i cut the rest of the floor out, and slid the new floor in, no bracing yet so it sags pretty bad just wanted to make sure the track idea would work, plus wanted to see what it would look like!

Wow. This is stunning. Kudos for just going for it, dude.

Thanks buddy! I really appreciate it, i got the rest of the firewall in and am just making up some cardboard template for the kick pannels, floor, and body mounts. I should have some pics up by the end of the week.

thor · 07-16-2012, 02:20 PM

Yeah buddy! That's a lot of work (massive understatement)! Gonna grind those welds down and smooth 'em out?

Psh no way! Robs power!! Haha the burb used to have a vintage air kit in it but i ditched it and now all you gotta do is roll down the windows

speaking of windows i found a kit to eliminate the little vent window so you can just run a one piece window. I was pretty dang stoked about that.

yes, those kits are awesome. I only asked because you closed off the side vents! Mine doesn't have A/C (because of money, not the power aspect. lol) and those little side vents are my best friend.

Haha yea i hear ya there man. I just didnt want any debris ect getting in the cab. Plus when i lay dynamat down it will make it that much easier lol

68burbanontherocks · 07-17-2012, 12:00 PM

Ok so i got the firewall in and now it is time to get the first piece of the floor in place then start making my body mounts to attach the floor to the chassis. Heres what ive got so far....

68burbanontherocks · 07-17-2012, 12:02 PM

Decided to put the diamonds going down since im gonna dynamat the inside it would make no sence to just cover them up!

68burbanontherocks · 07-17-2012, 12:04 PM
