Nice, I am sure you will make some sweet stuff inside. You have done well on the outside, keep it up man!

dv8customs · 02-09-2010, 05:59 PM

Thanks, I am planning to make door panels, headliner, kick panels, cover for rear wall. Basically everything. Planning to cover it in a nice vinyl or preferably leather if I can find a good deal somewhere. I want to do a dash swap but don't know what I want to use. I have to find some time to wander around some wrecking yards looking for old steel dashes.

on the other hand forget that, go all out with that thing, youve done so much anyway.

dv8customs · 02-09-2010, 09:25 PM

If I were going to do that I would have suicided the driver door. No way did I do all that work just for the passenger...

dbmx66 · 02-09-2010, 11:17 PM

anything else special ur planning to with it?

No, I like to keep things simple. I'm not a fan of a lot of mods...

Seriously though, that will be it for the body work. The interior; however, is a whole other ball game

i was thinking the same thing hahaha

dv8customs · 02-10-2010, 12:19 PM

The only other thing I would consider doing is shortening the bed 1-2" to help it blend a little better with the chop top. I likely won't do it because I am so far along already but that is the only mod I would consider at this point.

would that be 2 inches in front of the rear wheel or behind? or both?

dv8customs · 02-10-2010, 05:15 PM

Just the front. The wheel is offset a bit in that direction when layed out anyway and that keeps me from having to deal with the taper at the rear of the bed.

I hear yah about the garage thing we've had 54"s in 2 weeks out

just dug it out from the last snow to rerun my air lines

Driveway Dreams · 02-12-2010, 08:29 PM

I bet you are glad you put the windshield back in, cracked or not. And we are getting nothing up here in Colorado.

spr85gmc · 02-12-2010, 10:47 PM

damn we cant even get 1/2 in of snow down here kinda jealous.

dv8customs · 02-12-2010, 11:04 PM

It will all be gone tomorrow...

spinem · 02-16-2010, 11:46 PM

with the fenders being that thin, will it lay with the wheels straight only??

dv8customs · 02-17-2010, 03:33 PM

The track width is narrowed 1-1/8" per side. This is with it laid out and before I trimmed the fender lip...

dv8customs · 02-17-2010, 03:36 PM

Just ordered my heim kit and frame notches from Suicide Doors. Going to pick up a rack and pinion in the next day or so and order my steering U-joints.
