Finished most of firewall--then shaved rocker pinch weld on driver side this evening-finish weld in am-then passenger--Sure is nice to weld on original rockers-not much blow through like on Chinese versions!!............jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Very nice! I love the pinch shaved...even if the truck isn't laying frame I just think it looks better because that pinch is the lowest point in the lower body line...

Got a little more done in last 3 days--Just realized 2 things today while i am sanding ---Why I looked at 15 trucks before I bought this one and why I love this homegrown rotisserie !! Cab is turning out very cherry and sanding these pinch welds is a breeze with the rotation...............ya'll have a good week.........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Well got some of the "itch" taken care of this wkend--sort of---Got most of the PB stuff in epoxy-Don't laugh at my parts hanger-works flawlessly-Thanks to my attic mounted hoist and a few accessories!! The bungees just stabilize-hoist does work!! When done it easily disappears !!.
Trying to get most of this done before vacation-My swapmeet schedule kicks back in soon after for the Fall season---Some of u know (and the rest of u will now) that I am the owner and promoter of North Houston (Humble) swapmeets and Conroe also--Going to get busy very soon!! A couple of weeks from now I am going to offer a special swapmeet deal for board members here--Stay tuned-and have a good week!! jim |

Ok guys and gals--need to apologize for starting this thread and leaving it hanging for almost 2 months--Vacation-swapmeets--and what's in the pics below have had me tied!! Probably expecting frame progress but as i was waiting on Nate's stuff -I started on the cab --I've had this change in my head for 3 years-WARNING --U NON-MOLESTERS NEED TO TURN THE CHANNEL--
I've done every dash option possible for the stock c10 dash over the years but i never liked the flatness-love the truck-just not the dash--SO here we go-- 2 "55" belairs donated their dash--2 c10 doors donated some skin-and U can guess the rest--Still in early stages-Dash was made to remove ONCE for lower body work and then be welded in at windshield when reinstalled-upper part of dash between clusters is not as flat as will be when permanent--more original holes to fill--will fill ya'll in later on hardware placement........jim |

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
WOW!!!! Love that dash!!!!!!!
|
Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Super nice!!!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Man, that's unreal! I am entertaining modifying my dash as well, but nothing near this extreme. I am looking forward to seeing what this ride looks like after you are finished. Keep up the awesome work.
|
Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Super nice metal work on the dash fabrication! Like the ssr console idea too. Try not to leave it hanging for two months again:)

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
KILLER JOB on the dash !
