Geoff - Thanks for the link that should come in handy. Buy the way where do you pick up your sheet metal from? Just sheets not replacement parts.

Thanks,

Engine and Transmission removed. Doing all this myself, I didn't get any chance to take photos of the process.

It's been awhile Geoff....gosh since December....don't forget I'm close...let me know if ya need a helping hand

Re: Project Rusty (70 C10 Suburban)
 

Thanks man... Everytime I turn around to do something, I have another project waiting for me. I think I am caught up with the other projects. Hopefully I can concentrate on this again.

Re: Project Rusty (70 C10 Suburban)
 

how's it coming Geoff?

Re: Project Rusty (70 C10 Suburban)
 

Hey dude - its been crazy over here. I finally finished the 100 ft run of #2 thru the attic for the subpanel. I can say being 6'5 350, I am not made to be crawling around in an attic with temps of 100+.

I have so many projects around the house to do. I live in older home that previous owner never took care of. So everyday a new project shows itself.

Now I need to run some drops in the garage for the compressor and welder, both being 220 30 and 40 amp. Once I can get to this - I can finally get to cutting and welding.

With the storms we have had around here, I had plenty of trees to clean up, that is finally done now. Wife has just laid down the hammer - no more spending until summer is over.

So I need to find some cash to finish up the garage wiring and I can start making progress. But until then I have plenty of yard work, drywall, well house rebuild and bathroom to prep for remodel.

I am so jealous of all you guys that get to work on your trucks. I just want to start (cutting, grinding and welding) - but so many other projects I have to get to first.
