Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

Column is a 33" universal Column for GM fit. Mounts in with a flaming river "stramp clamp" at the top and make a custom plate at the bottom. Has a 1" dd end so I just milled out a jeep shaft to fit.

I usually don't spend much time on here, but I just read through Dave V and Lscustoms full threads. My brain hurts but I have new inspiration for some things. There's alot of guys on here with some really impressive stuff. I appreciate what everyone is doing, and while I'm new to this "G" thing, I have some wild stuff planned. My entire summer will be bodywork.

Re: Project "Bagging Rights"

Lookin good man.Makes me wish I had time to work on mine.
Tailgate filler looks good, hope you cut the recess out of the tailgate skin & did a butt weld rather than a drop in. Seen some really high end jobs ghost shadow badlyfrom this after being through temperature cycles.
