Thread: My From-Scratch project

Tweet

been working on this alot lately. changed a few things. when I sold my suburban, the guy wanted the third seat with it, so I got a pair of second row bucket seats out of a 2002 oldsmobile van from the "previously used stuff yard" and made them fit. had to take out the drive shaft tunnel...didnt like it much anyways...and redid it with sheet metal instead of using the 1x1 tubing. started doing the body some, and like it so far. its really starting to look like a car....at least I think so. I'm not much at body work....never really did any. using 14 gage for the floor pans and fire wall, and 18 gage for the body. when I sit in the seat, the dash is about chin level, so the roof and windshield should only have to be about a foot higher I'll post more pictures soon........seats are not mounted yet...will have a second firewall right behind motor....battery and master cylender, etc will sit inside between 2 walls. thinking about putting a removable plate on the side so I can get to the battery and stuff. just an idea for the grill...want it BIG so it looks big when it comes toward ya. has to have the HUGE headlights too.
