Ya.. You have a better place for that extra money-- like in that
Beautiful Hope Chest !

They both look good, me i'm still holding out for my car body to come back from the panelbeater.

I am going to pro street my Dodge swb pu Pro70, did you do all your frame work yourself or did you buy some of the parts aftermarket? Sorry if that sounds like a dumb question but I have no idea where to get a narrowed rear end. I think I can fabricate the rest myself. Good Idea or Bad?

Nothin' wrong with that idea. Just takes time & patience .

The "Z" is an Art Morrison chassis. It didn't start as a 25.4 chassis, so I'm making a few changes along the way, but having something to start with saves a ton of time. Rear suspension is a hybrid mix of Art Morrison, Mark Williams, Aerospace Components and home fabricating.

Got Pics.?

Not exactly a newbie just havent posted much lately , anyway I am building a 40 ford coupe. I just got the qtr patch panels
in last week and after a little rage gold
I primed them tonight. I also got the deck lid and hood about 90% finished . After these areas are done I intend to jump ( not really) on the roof, after that the fenders and doors . I hope to be ready for paint in april or may. My frame is done So I hope to be cruisin in May
or June but who knows .

here is some that i have done not much but i started weldin the trim holes up on my door.

let me know what you think need to know if i'm doin it right or not.

that was one of the holes i welded up here is a pic of the hole door

Looks good to me but I am not a pro body man. I think that if it is filled slowly with out wrinkeling the door metal and you can cover it with a thin coat of putty you have accomplished your goal. Thats what I did and I may suffer down the road but it looks good so far.
Sounds like you will be up this summer darin, got any pic's?

Do you have any links for art morrison products Pro70? I am very interested in building a real ground pounder, something that sets my insides againest the seat when you stab it!! I think you are going to have a real back tweaker when your done, I would love to take a ride in that car of yours!! OH YA!!! Nothing like american muscle!
