Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

For a minute I thought you had been in my hometown (Corinth, MS) at First Baptist Church. :lol: Congrats on the award!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

At the end of the 2014 show season you should take a picture of all the trophys you won with C-10 in the back ground. That would be Kewl. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan,
Your truck ROCKS!
And I can never seem to get that cooler out of my mind!!! Soooo cool!
If we ever happen to get the chance to meet up, you had better hide that thing,...and hide it well, for your own good!!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

His cooler is very nice ,someday maybe mine will be if the bodyshop still has it .

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

When you flipped the jump seat brackets, did that keep the front brackets from being too far forward? I have the same seat mounted (without modifying the bracket), but it sticks out to the front past the hump.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Maybe this pic will help. I mounted this panel between the front legs of the jump seat.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great idea! So, I'm guessing that you had to account for the height difference between the front of the center hump and the back before you flipped the legs inward. Also, did you mount the feet directly to the floor? I'm thinking that this may be what I do too.

Do the feet feel pretty safe (as in the weld won't break in a collision)? Should I do a lap joint and plug weld, then stitch weld the joints?

I'm sorry for so many questions; I am a wood-worker, not a metal fabricator. I'm learning thought! :four:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I don't mind the questions at all.

It's been a while since I've done this mod. I did a lot of test fitting. My seats are power and I centered the range of motion up/down and front to back while fitting everything. That way it could be adjusted somewhat to another driver if that need ever arose.

I did a lap joint weld and bolted on top of carpet with reinforcing plates under the floor similar to the factory except bigger plates.

Great picture. Hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great picture. :metal: MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congratulations on everything! And thanks for the help a few days ago.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I just got caught up on your thread, I hope your holidays are going well !!

Love the photos, the Christmas Card is one of my faves of your truck.
The young lady in the bed is a fantastic photo, and I think the photographer nailed it with the red of the Coke.
It stands out and draws you from the big red carrier, to the tats on her arm, to the bottle and to the lip stick; and framed by the tail lights.
In all that classic orange, I just think its cool.

:thumbs:

Anyways,
Happy Holidays !!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks guys!

As some of y'all have seen on Facebook I'm back on the fence of selling it. After 3 years of carshows I've learned that car shows are not fun to sit all day any more.

I'm thinking if I did list it I would ask 50K and if I put it on eBay I would list at 55K

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Good luck with the sale if you decide to. I know what you mean about sitting around all day at a show. I've had nice cars\trucks but now I build to enjoy . My current build will be nice but I'm gonna beat on it with a smile.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Have you thought of putting it in Auction?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Very good build thread
If you sold it would you do another one ?
Congratulations on winning truck of the month on the Facebook page ��

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Well, I voted for you as well, and despite my wife saying my truck has to have a white roof, I still love your whole colour combo.

Well done.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats on the TOTM!!!:thumbs:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks guys for the votes on FB.

The reason I was thinking about selling was to help get a new house. We were able to do it without selling it. :) we closed this past Friday on our new (35 year) old house. The girls set up the extra family room in the basement for my trophies. I like it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Where did you move to Alan ? Still close by I hope .

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

We bought in hickory flat area. We are still in old house but in process of moving. Trying to time the sell of the house to coincide with the end of the school year.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats Alan! We're in the process of looking for our first home. It's a bit exciting & frustrating all at the same time. :lol: Hopefully we'll find what we need/want by Summer at least. Glad you were able to keep the truck. :bowtie:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan ,if you need a trailer to help you move I have a 6x12 that is sitting here empty .

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats on the New to you house...:mm:

As for the Trophy room...:clap:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:agree:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Saw the updates on FB, congrats on the new house and shop!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats Alan on the move, the hardware, and being able to keep the truck.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats on the new house, and I like the shop too. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Congrats on the new house and I'm glad you got to keep the truck. Just seemed right after all that work.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

glad you didn't sell alan, and congrats on the new house, man cave looks great.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thank you. House buying is very stressful.

Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

Thank you Don. I'm liking the roomas well.

:thumbs:

:thumbs:

Thank you. I'm glad it all worked out.

Thanks Dennis. Maybe it will as organized as yours.

Thanks guys!!

I've been working in the new shop getting it ready to move in. For those that don't know it is 40x30 and had a beauty parlor in the back 15' and had a walkway going back to it. First I removed the hallway wall.

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps7ce801ca.jpg

Then the back wall.

The carpet shows where the wall was. It has a bathroom, hot water heater and faux fireplace with an LP heater installed.

http://i803.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps212e9d77.jpg

Now clean it up, pull up carpet, add electrical for lights and 220. Figure out how I will park cars in it so I can locate where the lift will be. The ceiling is 10' so I have to raise it 2' to clear lift. If anyone has some scaffolding locally that I can borrow it would be much appreciated.

Once I get moved in the outside needs some cosmetic work as well as the house.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

As much as I liked your other shop this one looks like it will work out much better for you .If you are on Amicalola EMC you can buy your electrical supplies (wire,breakers ,etc )at cost ,much cheaper than the local supply houses .Water heaters too.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

That shop looks great . I would need to win the lotto to get one that large in the Uk congratulations on the move and not having to sell the truck

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Amazing build thread Alan. You have given me so many ideas my head is spinning.
