I think everybody got a case of the warm fuzzies from that.
Commit random acts of kindness, you might just enjoy it.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

Aint that the truth. The other day I went into Dairy Queen and they asked if I would donate to some kids fund. I says what the heck and gave them a buck. They gave me $2 in coupons. Then on my way out I'm in the giving mood so I jump on the Blood donation bus and gave blood for the first time. They gave me a ten dollar gift card for Lowe's.(I work there) The guy inside the bus says he lives around the corner and has a New dishwasher he needs gone so I got a Free new dishwasher. I think I'm addicted.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

I did a little fabrication work on the firewall and windsheild frame. It was nice getting back on the body after spending so long on the frame. The driprail needed to be smoothed out and it came out pretty good. Also deleted the ac holes.

I have moved forward with trying my hand at fabbing up parts, my first peice was the windsheild frame patch where I had to cut to lay it back. I made a template and then cut it out.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

I finished deleting the drip rail/wire loom gutter and moved to the cover. Pay no attention to all the junk in the truck, it was cleaned out!!!

I used a rubber mallet and a concave jackstand to pound the cover into a slight bend in the center which in turn made it bend to just the right curve to fit the area to be covered.

Hahaha, now I am getting pressed for pics!! Really did not get anything significant done this weekend except cleaning the shop!! Of course we have to do that occasionally. I did weld some square tubes to the body dolly to keep the tub from sliding off, safety first!

Thank you sir! I have to weld a small piece on the driver side and put some more tacks on it before it's done. Hope to get that done this weekend!

I guess I was posting while you wrote this! There was a little progress made on the top of the windshield frame, just not anything noteworthy really. As for the cowl I am considering a couple of different approaches, one I can do with my limited skill and tools the other will have to be a paid job.

Since it was a large step I took a few extra pics.
This is the first pic of it layed out almost at zero pressure.

This is a problem, it's not low enough!!! The heads on the bolts that hold in the trailing arm crossmember make the body and frame "teeter" front to back so this will have to be addressed.

Looks great!
What size (diameter) wheel/tire combo will you be running when it's finished?
This will dictate how low it goes.

Re: Buried to Bagged 1972 2wd

Weld the bottom of that crossmember then you won't have the bolt heads to deal with. Honestly how often do you plan to remove it? But if you do decide to remove it you only have a few welds to cut.

I was thinking 22X9 front and 24X12 back. Then we have to really get technical and ask what tire size. After deleting the bolt heads I will have a better idea of what I am really dealing with.

I was planning on welding it, just really surprised that it made it sit that far off the ground with the body on. I do not have the body mounts in yet so we'll see how that effects it. Next is body mounts and measurements for all the stuff that will be hidden.
