That looks slick.... How is that accomplished?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

one piece products is working on this it will come in a kit. Maybe captkos will chime in.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I like that. Do you have a pic of the windshield you were telling me about?

Re: Project Cod Fish

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Woe looks like you have a lot going on here keep up the good work.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Here you go...the firewall supports and a little clean up......

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

hey eb is this hole for the clutch rod or what i cant remember? If it is fill it. Looks great BTW

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Yes thats for the clutch rod. I'll fill it. There is another square hole maybe needs filled too.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

This one...........

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

yea looks good to me

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

EB...VERY NICE! If you get bored and want to come to Jersey....

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

LOL.....OK, if I do I'll let you know :)...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, notice anything different?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

yea eb cab corner is missing!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey thats pretty good, but the braces are gone.....and you know what that means.........

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Door hangin time!!!!!! Frame is all ready startin to put it together this weekend it turned out awesome! Can wait to make it a roller.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb, here is a pic that is close to how i want the dash to look except i will be keeping the ignition switch in the stock location

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

That should not be a problem and looks good too.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Rob, preliminary fit of the right door is good which means it will get better as the cab corners and rockers are done.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Video of the door closing...WARNING.....noisey!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey EB that sounds like music to my ears!:lol:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

that sounds awesome....Rob, I guess if you want to quiet it down a little, add some dynamat inside of the door....by the way...looking great eb!!!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I am going with lizard skin for sound i hear it really works well

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb this is exactly how i want the dash. I will cut the a/c vents and control in at home with my plasma cutter or something but this is how I want it to be

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

That looks good. I'll take care of it for you. Do you have a closer pic of it?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb i dont have a closer pic, but basically just smooth the radio area and we are good

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I got ya.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Not to stick my nose in on your project or anything, but the hole where the factory ac/heater controls were is too big for a din sized radio. So it would need to be smoothed also, then cut to the proper size.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

eb, just looking at the door to cab fit brought up a thought. I see so many trucks where all the panels create a valley at the edge (if this makes sense). I would like mine to be perfectly flat when the time comes. what can a guy do about that?

BTW, I am really diggin' the way you get butt welds to come out so good ie. the lower kick panels. I also like the fact that you seem to address each piece individually by removing it ie. B pillar jamb.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks for the compliments 68C15. My goal is to help Rob build a solid truck. He wants real good. I want to do my best to help him reach his goal.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

update: its rolling! still got some work to do but here she is it is close quarters so pic are not the best.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Here are some pictures EB sent of the other door. still has some work to do but looks pretty good

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, that roller is looking good. looks like you'll need this cab soon. Just about got the door issues sorted out so now its on to the cab corners and rockers. When they are done, the doors should fit very well.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

hope to get the engine and tranny in this week, bed will be at the blaster tomorrow and on to the body shop. Still looking for a good 68 clip though it may take a while I am even willing to trade my buckets and console for one and still no bites. I hope i can find one..... guess we will see. Thanks for the great work and good communication I can honestly say that we seem to be on the same page with the build. You are "The Fabman" not a fabman. So props to ya man:metal:

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

do you just do this on the front of the floor at the fire wall? or do you do it at the back of the cab floor also? do you plug/spot then complete weld on inside and or outside of cab? thanks, jon

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Jon, I just weld the floor to firewall all the way across. The rear floor to rear cab panel get plug welded across the outside like the factory then seam seal the inside. At least thats the best way I found to do it so far.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, how about this?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

and here...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Say EB, you think you could have left a little more gap there, The man might want to open door once in a while...

They sure didn't look like that from the factory...

A+ work for sure.



Currently my door gaps range from 3/16" to 1/2" to allow for play in the hinges... HA

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Awesome!!!! Man I think i will put a 01 on the side and crawl through the window. The cab corner looks awesome.
