Id just hate to promote the glass guy because I got lied to for over ten months waiting for it, along with the fit and finish I won't comment on the provider.
Thank you for the compliment, I'm finally building it the way I should have the first go round lol

OK, I do like the direction you're heading with your truck.

Thank you very much
Going with the stock "graphic red" for the year also I loved the patina yellow it was with dents and rust but it will be all shiny with all the chrome accents like drip rail tail lights and I've been debating on the factory Rams head even

that seems to be standard operating procedure for unique/low production fiberglass, unfortunately

Looks to be a tilt front-end? I think I might know who the manufacturer/provider is. If not, I've heard the same about the one I'm thinking of.

Got to do some more fab today also took some pics of prior work. I've been fabing the cage up to fit everything and remove to paint the interior and reinstall
In the pics you can see the 2x4x1/8" square tube used in place of the stock body mounts integrated into the floor to securely mount the main hoop and a-pillar bars
Rear bottom side:
Rear top:
Front bottom:
Front top also you can see i relocated the break pedal way over:
X brace tubes fit on drivers side:
Some of the four link and stuff:

Subscribing
I like the stripped-down bare-bones look.
I may have missed it, how far back did you set the engine?

Roughly 18 inches
I'm a third generation car guy and my dad always talked about the "center of number one cylinder, even with the centerline of the front axle".
So when I did it originally I cut a 2 foot wide hole in the firewall and trans tunnel and gutted the dash so it was just a skin and pushed the engine back till the plastic bowed and went forward a bit to put new sheet metal in.
Here's a pic of the firewall now, the past couple days I have been removing everything to get the frame and cab to the soda blaster

Those are so cool! Borrowed a friends '58 anglia to take my wife out fir her birthday a few yrs ago, she brings it up every time I talk about cars. Wish I could afford one. It's an old 1/8th mile car, very healthy small block, 4spd, 5.??:1 gears. It was a blast.
