ill be watching this one cant wait for it to start. truck looks good too and looks like the bed is already done for the most part. your going to be working your a$$ off that week but it could be done with some help from friends and being well planned out. i thought my sfbd was going to be a 3 month process but its been 10 due to adding more stuff than i originaly planned. my advise is have everything you need and if you want to hit your timeline dont start the "might as well" bug, thats whats been getting me behind. good luck and cant wait to see how it goes!!!!
project: one week bd
3
Ive had my trucked bagged for almost a year and ive already decided to body it. this will be my first bd. gonna traditional bd my truck thanksgiving week. running 18/20 combo and gonna keep factory ac with a 225/40r18 up front. will i need to invert the fan to inside the firewall and is there a good thread with pics on how to do it? i have a sheetmetal blowerbox now that clears when laying but i will need to make a new one. also running stock upper arms and my control arm hits the coil now when layed so im gonna also have to get uppers, probably gonna run mmw flat plate uppers. i hope to have the cab and frame horns done in that week not worried about the bed cause i can drive without it. computer will be moved behind the dash and everything else is staying under the hood, hopefully the battery too. now i need to start gathering parts so i can have it all so what all do i need? heres what im ordering first a smaller brake booster , trailor fender for firewall, and upper control arms. whats the best/easiest to mod brake booster? i wont be running abs also. if anyone has some good threads on bd with ac let me know lol ive been looking at all the good ones showing how and where to cut and all that

basicly on the last pic i welded a piece of 1.5" metal across the bottom then seam sealed the shit out of everything in there. now i just need to make a plate to cover the hole and bolt it in. i can use the top two factory nut sert and prolly just use self tappers for the bottom two. also goin to use some gasket sealer for when i bolt the plate down to seal it up. this seemed like the easiest way for me, hope it helps!
