just a little off the back and sides please

[eldubb440]

we have the same cherry picker

I can't really have garage art.......

A) it holds dust; and I make a lot

B) my shop is a very rough environment, grinding dust and primer overspray just destroys everything

and the truth about the sign lies somewhere in the middle


I do have a 68 R/T grille and bezels on the other side

I recently stumbled across my original GTX tail panel, I'll probably put it over top

I love seeing Rebel just relaxing in the background.

I want him to learn how to sand, but all he does is remind me he doesn't have thumbs...... if I had a task that required chewing, he's be all over it

Eldubb440, I've been working on my trunk and am now putting things back together. I bought a new rear crossmember, but what are the plates/sections called? They're like 12 or 14 guage ... quite a bit heavier than the crossmember. I need to order some. Any thoughts where? Terry

crosmembers Ive used came with those pieces, so I weld the crossmember from the frame rail side......

.on the 67, I saved the crossmember (it wasn't real bad and has the SO number stamped in it)...... so I removed those plates to get to the welds for removal, and reused them

not sure what to call them (rear crossmember reinforcement plates?), but if a new crossmember doesn't come with them, you can probably re use yours......they look pretty nasty but are much thicker and likely NOT rusted through...... before ordering anything, separate them and give them a sand blast. That edge that is chewed away can just be shrotened up a little

I think they are called bumper reinforcements...

 

[eldubb440]

I think they are called bumper reinforcements...

or maybe bumper bracket reinforcement plates

 

[eldubb440]

also, the pieces at the end that attach the crossmember to the trunk drop off....... I think they are available, but easy enough to fab up a set of your own.....if your piece didn't come with them

 

[TT from NH]

Thanks QuickBpBp and eldub440. I found the parts and ordered them. They didn't come with my crossmember. And I had already hacked up the ones I had and used some of the metal elsewhere. Duh...

 

[eldubb440]

it's not all fun and games....... sometimes you have to put in the hard hours

lots of welding /grinding here; and there are no shortcuts........I had enough welding done to keep the car rigid, but left quite a bit for rotisserie access

I been at it pretty good the last couple days

 

[eldubb440]

these should have been about 4 pages ago, somehow got passed over

Completely unrelated.
