Looks great!

 

Thanks Sam and Vern, I'm happy with it so far..... now going to dive into the step notch and boxing the rest of the rear this week. That is if weather is permiting tornado alarms have been sounding off and on for a couple of days now.

 

Looks great! Very nice job. Keep the pics coming? Did you end up putting your brake and fuel lines inside the frame?

 

Craig, No I just ran the conduit.

 

looks really good! keep up the good work!

 

i agree, looks good! keep us updated

 

Thanks Gil and mnicosia23. And to think I was going to pay a friend to have all the fun Im having with her right now. Thankful that deal didnt go though!!

 

I got another question, Does any of you darksiders know how much of a notch I will need in the back to lay the running boards on the ground? I may post this quesion as a new tread soon. Wanting to start em in the morning

 

Huge. How big are the tires? I have 28 in tires, so 14 to center, 15.5 to upper side of axle housing. With a 3 in notch, the axle tube resting on the notch, the boards are still almost 5 in off the ground

That means an 8 in notch!

Sam

 

Sam, looks good! Are you using flux core wire?

 

Very good looking work! Keep it up.

 

Thanks guys, Well I almost got the notch 8''.......Ill have to go back out and measure it now but I think it was 7 1/2''.I didnt get it complete this weekend due to lots of yard work but I got a good start on it this evening. here comes the pictures.

 

 

Did you measure your real setup? Measure the topside of the axle tube with the wheel mounted or at least calculated. The measure with the boards set on the running board. Just make sure before u go too much further.

I think you're very close.

How u gonna lay the front? It takes both. Mustang II by itself isn't enough even bagged

And can your tires suck up into the fenders far enough?

This ain't easy

Sam

 

Sam your right, I left some room to do a little more trimming if needed..... basicly went as big as I could stand to look at!

For the front, Im just going to have to get it set up on wheels and see if drop spindals is the answer?

The tires should tuck, I have a friend that built a setup like this on a couple of 53-56s and tucked 20s pretty good. he told me that the front had plenty of room.....not much room fo the rear tho.

I know it wont be easy......I got a lot of calculating to do before moving on

thanks again sam
