Ta2Don recently made some too, but different. See his post #1855 HERE. Thanks for sharing the idea. Do they stay tucked under the seat during hard braking? I mean, do they like click into position with a detent or other design to keep them from moving left and right during hard cornering?

McCoyAZ · 11-15-2015, 12:11 PM

Sold mine.

Got tired of paying people to do crap work only to hire someone else that did crap work.

Too old and too easy I guess.

IF I do another one I will buy the tools and do it all myself.

LT1 Burb · 11-15-2015, 02:10 PM

Getting some painting and assembly out of the way.

mjh1965 · 11-15-2015, 03:47 PM

Got some truck time in today
I managed to get my front suspension all built and assembled . So next weekend all being well I will tackle the rear end . Then I could have it rolling again ..

**Classic v6 GMC's** · 11-15-2015, 10:33 PM

Not all today but we got most of my dads 283 put together.

LVPhotos · 11-15-2015, 11:06 PM

Jelous, my 283 had no side engine mounts... original and at one point painted orange. Wanted to save. Love a high rpm small block.

lol yes it is overkill but my buddy was doing a roof two blocks away and who cN resist easy lifting and toys.

62stepside longbox · 11-16-2015, 01:31 AM

Built myself a rear bumper out of a front bumper that I shortened 18 1/4'' and welded strips on the back for strength and filled the bolt holes in with weld. Should make all the factory guys scratch their heads

robber grin · 11-16-2015, 10:54 AM

Hey PS congrats on the new digs. Great body of work going on here everyone - inspires me to get back to it! rg

nail pounder · 11-17-2015, 02:37 PM

Saturday, too much work and not enough play, so my girl & I installed everything to be legal and went out cruzing and to dinner. Still got a lot of work to do, need to motivate to cut and buff paint.

She's had her hand in everything over the last year of working on it. It's been a great experience for both of us. Quality father/daughter time.
