Harleys Unibody
 
My son Harley and I have been working on his 61 Uni for the last couple of years. We finished welding up all the unnecessary holes in the frame, and boxed in the front of the frame back to the cab mounts. We sandblasted the frame and finished painting it. We have the 312 finished up and got everything running. We were supposed to finish up the body work this summer, but we bought a new shop and house so we can't go any farther untill this winter.......bummer......lol.

Here is a pic of the finished frame and power plant:

Got any more pictures of the truck?

fabmandelux 06-12-2011 11:53 AM

I've got tons of pics of the frame and suspension during the build, but all my pics of the original truck we're lost when my old computer died........

One neat thing, Harley paid $125 for it AND DROVE IT HOME!

Nice price, how about so new pixs of the cab?

fabmandelux 06-12-2011 12:06 PM

I'll get some pics when we pull it out of the back of the barn to move it to the new shop.

Should be in the next week.................

Wow Don! i'm glad everything worked out and no one was hurt.

You should have been here when he called.........

My heart was just sick when he called twenty minutes after leaving the house, and asked if I'd bring the tow truck. My wife said I looked like somebody had died.......

Harley and I are damn lucky............

Almost together!
 
This is the closest the body and chassis have been in over two years......
