Re: 1969 build

No expense spares on this build. Going to swap a rack and pinion while your at it?

Re: 1969 build
Big thanks to Member Bike Papa for putting his 510 project on hold to fab me up a drivers floor pan and drivers rocker. You can really see from the pictures that he has great attention to detail and make sure his stuff fits EXACT as it should.

Re: 1969 build
it was important to match the curvature of the factory rocker as well as the reverse tapers of the two horizontal sections.
This was not a difficult piece to make. it just required some careful measuring.
it also helps to work for a sheet metal shop!
