Cool GL T1.
Will be watching this :) @ Hebster: You can use this, simple and cheap, I've tried similar, works fine! I had them on my 1967 for two years, much better visibility :D http://cgi.ebay.com/36-TOP-LED-Car-T...ht_4063wt_1139 |
Love keeping the metal looking stock. The flip flops gotta go while welding though (if it was me)

Heh, thats my buddy in the flippies. He never takes them off unless he's riding his Harley.

So, not much to report other than i now understand why people use trailer fenders when tubbing their buses. Its a ****load of work to make it look proper. We did manage to cut out the original rear hoop/brace and add our own frame brace. Now we are going to be working on the repositioning of the shock mounts for the rear. The picture im posting doesnt show the 3/16" brace that we made between the framehorns, but i assure you there is one there now.
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...8_266211_n.jpg ive also decided on a color scheme for this project. It will be the original Velvet Green on the top, and Porsche slate gray metallic from the beltline down. Let me know what you think. http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._2139835_n.jpg im gonna be working on this again this sunday, so more pics to follow. |
No photoshoped.... Bodyshopped!! :lmao: :rockon:

You're going to run add-on rear 'skirts' like in the picture,
or run factory rear wheel openings? Seems like after taking all of the trouble to tub the rear, you would want to put the rear flares back to stock. And avoid the "Jersey look" cut rear wheelwells...:D JMHO... |

What im doing to the rear openings is filling them in so it looks 'stock' but using Dzus fasteners so they are removeable. Thats the only way that id be able to get the gigantic wheels out of there. i didnt cut the wheel arch out, that was done by a PO . . . . |
Update: since doing the front wheel tubs, I've had to notch the frame for the tie rods as it sits a good 1.5" lower. I've also picked up a T3 turbo for it. Can't wait till it cools down so I can get back out there.

Front tie rod notches are done. Going to start fabbing the Turbo header tomorrow. Any advice from you Turbo pros?
|
Ahhh... the memories. From tubbing my bus to having to remove the bolt from bottom coilover mount to get the wheel off. Good Times!
Your project is really coming together! Jeff= |
Thanks Jeff! I know what you mean about getting the wheels outta there. That's why I'm leaving the rear cut.....
