Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Small update: Eb got the kickpanel patches in. If this weather breaks then i can finish the chasis for the cab. Hope you enjoy watching eb work as much as i do

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Im in. Looks incredible. I would just like a profesional opinion on weather I should repair my cab or not. Everybody has an opinion. Great work Eb.

I have family that live in Dallas.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

kayotic it is ur call remember it your project. I dont care which cab u switch to there is no such thing as a rust free 35 yr old cab. That is y i decided to go this route with EB. It just depends on funds and skill level post some pics and get some opinions. I look at some so called rust free cabs that were 2000.00 with doors then have the work done on them and ur up there for a truely rust free cab. My goal is to build a really solid truck that i can pass on to my sons so i wanted it to be here. With todays primer and such it will be so i guess make ur own mind up for what suits your needs best

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

:cool: That's badass, I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with your work.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb is the man!!!! I wish i knew half the stuff he forgot

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I know rob32472, I will post pics when I get my camara back. My '70 cab is not bad rust wise. As a matter of fact from underneith it is still shiny. Don't get me wrong there is rust just not rust through. It was hit with something on the front corners of the roof. Glass is good but dented the outer and inner skins and part of the top windsheild frame was pushed in. It's like something fell on it along the front 5" on each corner of the roof. I'll get pics up here soon and i'll stop rambeling.

This is your thread - I don't mean to mud duck it.

Deffinetly fantastic work. She'll be good and solid that's for sure. I along with most of us here really appreciate the work going into peoples projects.(well most any way) I like where you are headed - I am keeping an eye on this for sure.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Small update Eb sent me this pic of more of his great work. As u can tell he welded the vent hole up on the cowl box he will box it at the top and it will stay smooth on the sides so no moisture or trash will collect there ever again it is going to be sweet when done.:metal:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

faaaaancy....

what does he use to dress his welds?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

i do not know maybe Eb will answer or maybe pm him

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Yes, I'm here....I use a variety of grinding tools. The trick, if there is one, is to go slow but not so slow you heat the metal by grinding. I have found by trying to instruct guys on this that this part takes a little of a disciplined touch to get right, Practice on it and you'll get, I'm sure.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

update: Eb sent these over on the cowl as you can see he makin the fire wall rounded on the pass side. Looks great Eb keep up the good work!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey rob, I should be finished with the cowl/kick panel area tomorrow. Then I can start on the firewall. It should look pretty good....eb

Re: Project Cod Fish

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

WOW...this looks great...definitely gonna follow this one....
Hey eb....I'm i live in your neck of the woods....would love to stop by and check out this in person....that's if you wouldn't mind me looking over your shoulder?!?!?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

gcburdic, I'm over in concord near the speedway/mall area..... where are you? I have real big shoulders =)

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I'm in Cornelius.....but get around the area working and sometimes cruising!!!....Yeah, from your website it looks like you are humongous!!!hahah....just wanna see the master at work that's all....Plus it's good to know that you're close....may need some ebfabman work in the future!!!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, no more ant hole.....I'll be sending over more pics......

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

oops forgot the pics......

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

looks great Eb Thanks again for your great work!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey EB, what do you recommend for rust above the cab vent holes? My kick panels are rusted out from the floor and up above the vents.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Mine are as well...

very nice work on these vents, i'd like to see how they finish up...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I save some flat pieces from hoods, roofs, old door skins to make patches with. I like to "recycle" where possible. I guess that makes me a "green" fabricator??? I don't know, just doing my part to save the planet.......:)

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thats what I was thinking. Seems like an easy place to patch.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

ebfabman is going to put the body filler guys out of business. When he's done with that cab its just going to be perfect pristine metal...nicer than when it was new.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

eb,you are the man!!!!!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Grey goose.... that has been the plan from the start. My goal is to build the best solid truck that I possibly can...... With as little filler as possible. Keep an eye on the project the frame and suspension are out for powder coat now should be back in @ two weeks.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

This stuff just makes me want to cut up my truck just so I can try and put it back together but I know better and won't that is a smooth looking job you do luv the pics cheers from the north

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Update eb is gettin on the move now he got the kickpanel area and the firewall in. Looks Awesome Eb!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I wish I lived near him.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, I thought I'd post a pic for you. I'll be sending over some pics...thanks.....eb

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

EB, you think it's better to weld the entire seam from floor to firewall? I just did the plug welds similar to the factory...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Mike, I like to weld it all the way to kind of seal the floor to firewall. I think it adds some strength also.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

thanks for the info... looks like I have some to weld then...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks Eb Looks great although i have to say i didn't expect any less:metal:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb here is a pic of the rear "flush" window i was talkin about today. Let me know what u think
