When the tank fell from the ceiling back onto the bench he had no fumes left in it.

I love the look of that seat. It's the first one I've seen that looks darn close to the original style but has the modern benefits. I'm not going for a 100% stock look but want to stay really close to stock. Nice score!

They had seats like yours there with the console, but the both seat backs were bent. I was going to buy the red 91 60/40 seat, but when I took my wife there to see them she hated that color red. Plus these seats are in better shape. Also they are a simple bolt in. I know that takes all the fun out of it. :lol: I have a lot more challenges left. This is one less. I'm going to run the 91 stock seat belts with the shoulder straps. (maybe)

how are you going to clear the tank of fumes before you weld it?

I welded up gas tanks before. First I have to take the sender out. Then if I smell fumes I'll flush it with water, and blow dry it. I don't think there will be any fumes because that hole has been in it for a long time. It gets real hot here in the High Desert, and that should have dried all the fumes out of it. I hope. Worst case I'll hook a hose from a running engine's exhaust pipe while welding it. A quick way would be to throw a match in it. NOT!!! :haha:

Plus they look like tuc n roll. That's how I'm going to have them done when I do the interior. I'm thinking of Red leather like material. But will depend on what color I decide to paint the truck.

Yea the Cragar's look sweet. It's really not coming together as fast as it looks. There's still a lot of time consuming things to do yet.
For the grill I thought of putting black mesh with bullets, or chrome cabinet pull handles. Or maybe a Chevrolet script on the black mesh

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I moved everything in the shop around so I could get another customers 59 FORD Panel in there. You know I need $$$ too.:lol: Now my truck is off the lift, and still have to get the steering box bolted up, and the steering column installed so it steers. Last weekend I was going to get back on it, but was sick as hell. I had 101.4 fever. I still feel weak. This weekend hopefully I'll get back on it.
Mean while I'll have to work on a FORD :waah:

Sorry, It doesn't look like your #1. It's in Alphabetical Order If I was A-strodder I would be numero uno. :haha::haha::haha:

Yea that's the seat I'm using. I might make a console in front of it, and connect it to the lower part of the dash. The console will be for the Air Bag Gauges, Control Switches, Power Window Switches, and I'll make room for a some storage and cup holders. That will all come later. I just want to get it on the road ASAP.

I hope you get well soon. Be careful takin' too much time off. It's hard to get the ball rolin' again.:lol: I think that is what happened to me when I was sick. Started going to bed earlier to get some rest and I'm likin' it.:metal:

If it pays the bills I say "work on it".;)

Thanks Allan. I did a little work today. Mostly getting hardware to bolt the Ford Engine & Trans together. All that walking kicked my ass. But I do feel better each day. With the time change this weekend it's hard to get out of bed in the morning. It's still freakin Dark.:lol:
