well the thrashing on the racetruck has come to a crawl or should I say a stop.
I brought home the 65 coronet so i could paint it to make some $$$$ and I worked on it last week, but now I have decided to sell the 65 the way it is and get squattie done first, squattie only needs a few things befor paint, so I want to finish it then back on to the race truck Ron...

Well Ron, I've said it before, and I'll repeat it now- You do [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean] good work!!!!

Do you mind if I "lift" some of the pics of your frame? I've been hitting walls with the hot rod community the last couple of years when talking about my "Race Truck" (a name I coined for it in 2003). I also want to channel the body to drop the nose without losing ground clearence. i want to lighten up the frame as much as possible, and am planning a similar rear end set up as yours (it currently has a ho-made version, made with water pipe and bumper jacks!!!).

I just discovered thisd thread, and am very pleased with your documentation! It'll help me out a LOT!

Thanks so much for sharing!

Eric

Shame its come to a stop Ron.. However, even if you do nothing for a year you will still have more done than the rest of us. It will give my silly dial up internet a chance to catch up anyway! I love looking at your pictures and have learnt many little tricks from them!

If I didn't have so many cars already i'd be buying your '65 I love those early B bodys!

Eric, RJ has to move from the house that he is in next month, so so much for getting paint on it

G, I actually touched it today, but only to move it outside to the carport area next to the garage, the new plan is to work on the 65 for a few days and get it in another coat of primer and then its done and ready for sale.
then I am going to Finish squattie so I can have it ready to sell, then its back onto the racetruck and the roadster PU Ron...

Ron,
You know I'm gonna love that truck when you get it finished!
Hence, when the day comes that you get ready to sell it and build a Willys Coupe...
I hope I have my Challenger sold by then with a fistful of dollars to buy the truck.
Besides I need a truck for a daily driver!!!
