he better be...

Special-K (TIM) and I will be in B17-B19 so come by... parts, shade and beer....

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I knew those were there for something

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I'll be there but there's no hope of this truck being there...I need to go there to shop for parts to finish it

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

mmmm.....beer. Ok; I'm in

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

It's easier to test fit the parts if the truck is there, :D. Plus, if you get bored you can always start working on it..............:ito:.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

That'll be the only way for me to get Tim and Mike to help out. We could do an "Overhaulin" episode like they did at SEMA; and I know you can get a MAC flight up here

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

umm, sorry but don't you have a warehouse full of parts? :lol:


You bringing a truck or VW Jetta to Carlisle? I could use that floor about then....

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I'll measure and see if a floor will fit in my FJ

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

cool, I might hold off on the bedsides until I get the cab done.

I also need a few other patches from you....

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Hey Jon, I just wanted to say thanks for showing me around last week and letting me take a close-up look at the truck. The visit and this build thread gave me inspiration to get working on my truck again.
I started cutting out my old floor and the other rusted pieces.
That lower a-pillar area is a complicated little place. Everything seems to meet there.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Barry; my pleasure.

I think there's a thread on doing the A-Pillar by Lewis Fabrication; or it's part of his rocker replacement thread.....good pictures.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Beer did I see somebody said there will be Beer. I tell you what that makes my plans alittle easier to make now knowing I might get a Beer out of the deal.;)
I am planning on being there, if everything down here works out.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I'll introduce you to Yuengling... PA's finest

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

We should run to Pottsville to take the tour....FREE beer is even better than regular beer

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

That would be a good East Coast meeting place!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

east coast meet? where carlisle or pottsvile at the brewery LOL.
my buddy and are planning on taking the run out to carlisle on friday were taking his 71 out for a real maiden voyage

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

How about in the fall? Maybe Jon will have his truck dun by then...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

mine might be done about when my son turns 21, great brewery trip... of course he's only 2 right now!:lol:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I'll call Yuengling and make sure they do tours....I think Jim would like the Cabelas/Yuengling combo tour

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I couldn't get factory top radiator mounts to work correctly so I decided to fabricate these out of flat stock and weld them to the tanks. I'll put rubber sheets between them and the core support and bolt them through the vertical uprights

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Beer and hunting supplies, now that's a "Man Date" if i've ever heard one...:lol:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Cool, sign me up! They have fish in their store the size I fish for in NY. I wonder if I buy a rod I could try it out

Nice work on the rad. mounts. What are you doing working on a Sunday

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I wanted to get polishing on the mounts and clean up a bit before the guy comes to sling plastic

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I know your type...shower me w/ gifts, get me drunk, and a man in a uniform...I ain't falling for that old line:haha:
