Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I got my CO today. That means I can move into the shop. I can't fully move in yet. I need to get the sheetrock up on the ceiling before I get all my stuff in there. I should get my power meter set tomorrow. Maybe I can start working on the trucks soon. It has taken almost 4 months to get to this point. It has been well worth it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Looking very nice.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Looks good Alan. So when do I move in? I can only assume that the right bay is for my '69 right.;) :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

very nice

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

It could be. The problem is I already see limited space once I get all of my crap in there.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Nice start on the truck and a great garage.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

looks like we share the same problem- "It followed me home" syndrome!:c2:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:four::four:I have finally moved in just a few minor details to do, but I am ready to do some restoring.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

It seems as if u may be missing a few sheets of sheetrock...lol...very nice garage, i would love to have one that size, and very nice trucks, the 55 is sweet, as is the clean frame of the 65, nice job, keep it goin...

I wish I could of finished the shet rock. I left it open for water and cable and maybe another door in the future. Plans might change once I start working in it.

Today is the first day I could really do anything, I didn't have much time, but I did get the cab braced up so i can cut the floor etc.

Let me know if you think it is braced up enough.

Shop looks nice!
Good luck with the rust repair. I just finished mine about a month ago. It is well worth it in the end when you have no rust.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Making some progress today

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Hung door and fender for first time. The gaps need a little work but not bad for first fit. The floor and floor support are just tacked in place. I still have inner kick, A post and inner and outer rocker.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Lookin good Alan.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

excellent work!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan:

Great job on the rig and the shop. It appears you are building an entire cab from scratch. Nice work and please keep the pictures coming.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I had bids for a dried in turn key with no mechanics for about 28K. I contracted it myself and saved about 10K

I WANNA SHOP ! I WANNA BOBCAT! I WANNA DO A BODY OFF!
I WANNA-I WANNA-I WANNA!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I would cover up the insulation with something just screwed on that you can remove later, just so you are not breathing that stuff all the time.. I like the shop too.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

nice, are those new doors?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Yes the doors are new doors that I got from Goodmark. The fit is alot better that I thought. I thought that i would have to do adjusting. So far so good.
