yea if your leaving the rear end exposed make it look nice if not they just end up making a filler over the notch and add wheel tubs
the tube work looks great by the way

So tonight we tore apart the front end. Potter went ahead & cut off the unneeded metal from the frame while Rob plated the inside of the rear frame. Tomorrow i think the guys are going to build the lower control arms....

I already had 8 horns on their to start with.........4 behind the grill & 4 behind the bumper. We are going to build a battery rack behind the bumper so I have to redo my horn setup

I knew it. That bracket was put there with the sole intent of holding a silver sharpie.

Yea he called me the other day saying he wants to bag his 46 Chevy he is getting.... it's lowered now but he wants bags for ease of driving.

Not sure if he is wanting someone to do them or if hes gonna bag it...but I told him you're wanting powder work.

He has a bunch of HUGE ovens. You have to scope his shop out... it's in Alvin.

why narrowed? so the rims tuck up past the fenders?

The axle is too wide for the body. The wheels will not tuck because the stick out about an inch past the body. The axle is getting 5" cut off each end

good stuff

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:28 am

So for 2 inches of issue, you're cutting 10 inches off? I'm confused...

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 4:35 pm

I'll explain later. its also has to clear body panels. When you know how tall the tire is & how high the body panels are, you have to figure all that in. BTW !0" total, 5 inches off each end

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 6:34 pm

Yup... I do know how to add, Dan!

wacko · Post by **wacko** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:09 pm

so for the ones that still dont understand
you dont have to cut the bed flare like the one pictured above or below

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 11:34 pm

^--enough said lol

Wasn't doubting you random1 lol

Earlier in the day we dropped my axle off with Pyle Bros to get narrowed 10". Tonight potter almost completed the LCA for the passenger side. These are 3" shorter then stock. I went a head & honed out the lower ball joint mount on the drop spindles. We will be flipping the lower ball joints using Chevy Ball Joints
