Allan things are back to normal with regards to my subs, thank you if you were the person responsible if it went higher up thank them as well. I'm a happy camper once again and that trim is the icing on the cake on one beautiful truck...Vernski:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Great build thread. I know how it is to get side tracked with life, the wife, the kids, the wife, the house, the wife...well you know what I mean.

The '65 I'm building is for my son, and she was "All for it".

the other night I had to remind her of that when she started griping about the black stains on the white switches (that I just installed all over the house...some people are so ungrateful :devil:)..

So basically I'm 'blaming' this whole build on her.

Plus the kid is 15. So I figure by the time he heads off to college, he'll need something "more economical" to drive. So the '65 will probably get a LSx drivetrain.

Yee haw.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

silver looks great alan, cant wait to seethe trim on it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

looks great like the silver with the orange you got me thinking

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looks awesome Alan.......Again you are killing me :fry:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks Alan, for posting the trim and paint process pics they should help me along when I do that part. I have to drill the cab/door and fender holes on mine as well as painting the stripe. Did you make any hole templates by any chance????...lol

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks, and I agree

Thanks and I have 2.5 spindle drop in the front and 4" spring in the rear.

Thanks man, I've still drooling over yours.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story or novel would be a better word. ;) Maybe I will see your build if you have one going or catch it in the future. I haven't spent much time on the forum lately. I've got less than 2 weeks before our annual get together and cruise in.

Some times these things just fix them selves. ;)

Been there with dirty light switches. :lol:

:thumbs:

Thinking will get you in trouble. ;)

Remember it's 4 against one here. :haha:

I did make a template of the door and made one today of the cab corner for future use. I couldn't mail the door one cause it is a big piece of contact paper.

Got the over flow bottle intalled. Thanks Mark for the suggestion.

Removed the cowl seal and no change in hood. The left hinge seams to be worn out. I'm guessing. The right side of the hood will come all the way down
Also installed the thin trim and the replacement wide trim came today. Thanks Mar-K

Also got a Fiamm horn installed and working.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Dude i love looking at pics of this thing :thumbs:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I have nothing else to say that I didn't say before. I'll say it once more.

:metal:AWESOME!!!! :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking sweet!! things have been on a roll I have not checked in lately, and man what a lot of progress shes got to be getting close to being finished now!! ( I know they are never finished but you do get close sometimes)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey Alan,

You are my hero and I want you to adopt me so I can inherit your truck. :c2:

I hate to be a DUMBASS (that's what my mother affectionately called me), but I can't see any plumbing to the A/C pump. You have more than impressed me with your innovative technology as you always do such trick stuff, so who knows.???

I paged back thru the NOVEL but couldn't find it, so what did I miss....? DUH:hh:

Blinded by the brilliance, lost in my own fog. :uhmk:

aka: Danny

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks again Dennis!!

Thanks Kevin, it is definately close.

Danny, the AC and heat might be a winter project if I don't get to it before then. If my plan works you won't be able to see much of the hoses. BTW thanks!!

All the trim is in place. I just need to remove the door trim panels to install a few nuts.

I also got the lights in the hood wired, just need to clean it up some. I didn't do the sliding door contacts for several reasons. I'll get some pics of the wiring when i finish it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I know what you will be driving on 4-21.
Congrats on a great build that gives us alot of great inspiration.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Man those last little details make all the difference. One very COOL truck.

:metal: :thumbs:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You're almost done with your truck, So what's next? Do you have any other projects in the wingshttp://wtriders.com/WTR/Smileys/default/icon_shrug.gif

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yes Sir, that's the plan!! ;)

:thumbs:

The bad thing is most will not noticed all the little details, but it pays off when people notice.

I can't afford another project like this. Maybe it will bring me some work. I'm still plugging away at the Mustang. One thing i plan to do is get caught up on all the builds here. I've neglected the board for the past 2 months due to me trying to get this thing ready for the cruise and parade.

No progress today, but Monday I hope to get it on the alignment rack. Then get it back home.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

What's funny is, I have the work but no time to do my own..:waah: :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

He can come help finish mine ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Ronnie,

He's already got experience on the 60-66 body style, now he needs to practice on a 67-72, preferably a '69.:lol:

Keep up the good work Alan.:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

that truck has turned out great very nice!!!!! i love all the details you put into it gets my mind moving:lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

This thread should be in the FAQ section titled How to completely rebuild an entire 60-66 truck and do it right. Nice job Alan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You have plenty of help Ronnie. Alan can come visit here in So Cal for a while, and help me finish mine..:haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I've seen it too many times, bodymen with their own projects sitting in the corner. I vowed to myself that that wouldn't happen. ;)

See bottom line. ;)

Thanks neighbor, when do you want to start on yours?

Thanks and be careful when your mind is moving. It prolongs your project. :lol:

Thanks :metal:

All expenses paid?? :lol:

Looks like I'm up for the highest bidder. :haha:
