That's a bad asp body buck.  Should make it much easier to do the lower part of the body. Ingenius.

Hey Phil,
It looks like the body work is coming along nicely. Your doing a great job!!! Boy, that body work takes a lot of time, doesn't it.


I really like your body buck. Excellent idea you came up with. Having adjustable height is really cool.

Great Idea with the Body Buck.   If you don't mind, what did you use to build it?  Looks interesting.

The body work is looking good. It's definately a lot of work.  I was using the new DA I bought the other week.  Man I wish I would have had that when I was doing the initial body work :-)

Cheers,

Hey Ryan,
As you may know, I'm an Electrical Superintendent (Electrician). I used 1 1/4" Electrical EMT Conduit, Factory 90's, Couplins, Connectors, Uni-Strut and Strut Straps. I aslo welded Couplins to casters in order to roll the entire stucture with ease. Building it only took 30 Min.
My first body buck was made of wood and was set outside for a few months and when I took the body off it to set on the Frame, it almost fell apart. My new body buck is made of galvinized steel conduit, should last me awhile.
If anyone is interested in the "Nuts and Bolts" of the metal body buck, I can make up a materials list and the exact cuts and placement of the conduits. Just let me know.

Hey Phil,
I would love one.  Let me know what weekend you will have it done and I will come down.  I want to see your car again too.  What is your beverage of choice? I can't take one for free, need to at least replenish some of the fluids lost when you put it together.

Let me know......
