Bigfoot 455

I have yet to take the inner sections apart. It sat in the car outside for a long time before I got it. I want to make sure the insides are still good. The main tub looks good so far. I think I will get out there today, so will let you know.

I pulled it apart today. the inner pieces seem stuck so I am letting it soak in PB Blaster. it should come apart tomorrow. otherwise the main cavity looks ok.

I can help with the air cleaner. I have yet to open it up and take a look inside though. I will do that tomorrow.

Made some progress! Looks like I will have to stretch the chassis about 12". Still tacking and aligning the extended cab section.

Damn. I just scrapped my 34 sedan stuff a month ago. all 6 seat sections because nobody wanted them. If you need any other parts, let me know and I will put the word out.

Another inspirational and color test piece.

I cut out the wheel wells to put in the bed sides. I plan on using the lower section of the doors I removed to fill in most of the space. That should help form the bottom body line and start the curve so I have a good place to start from

Been awhile, but progress has been made! Got it totally disassembled. I blasted the cab, started making the floor structure, and squared up the rockers and roof. The extended cab section lines up better than I hoped it would.

Will be able to attach the extended cab section once it is on the new chassis. Lots of wood to replace with steel before that happens.

Picked up as a 4 door sedan in Kansas

I don't remember the old one's sign in stuff but merging them would be nice.

Some time ago I was a member just starting to build a 37. Now I am building a 34 pick up.
