Oh, no no no Mitchatollah! Although one of my idols, Elvis groupies aren’t on the list of items I’m hoping to attract with this build. Not without their charm, GILFs aren’t high on the radar. Actually, I don’t know what I plan to attract on this build other than a bunch of old dudes nodding their heads in appreciation, “Hey…….nice”.
It appears now after talking to several fabricators that I’m headed down the road of making my own chassis rather than the donor route. Fortunately I have all the photos of the factory chassis saved, dimensions, measurements, and access to one being restored to concur anything I need concurrence on. Daunting? Yes. Doable? Probably. Stupid? Absolutely!
But if my previous threads are any indication of the ambition of my builds, this should hopefully provide months of much needed comic relief to break up the daily grind.
So what’s next? Off to the supply house for more steel. And Mitch, only reason I didn’t go aluminum is I have never welded it or worked with it, But fear not! With Tig welder in hand, I’ll probably be making a second body out of aluminum…..maybe.
Cheers
Dave
