I have 2 R.O.C fenders I didn't know what to do with. ..
Now I'll cut them up and use the asian tin to do the same.
Looks good. . Just took a couple double takes to realize what you did.
GREAT idea... thanks..

Nice job! The wheel opening mods look great.

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

The front wheel openings look sweet:metal:. I've always thought there was a little too much room on the front openings

Thanks, guys! Here's a shot after paint:

I know I have said it before but I love your truck. First time I have seen the sectioned fender on this body style. Might have to try it with my 66. Looks great!

First green automobile I have ever liked.

It's a good looking truck.
I'm selling 2 of my extra trucks to get the funds to get my prostreet done.
I want to make the Pontiac Heaven event..
Won't be painted but will have a pontiac mill.

I thought the Pontiac Heaven event was always in April. .
Maybe I should check.

The extended rear wheel tubs got painted today. Just a couple more small parts and I should be able to start finally putting parts onto the truck and clearing out my office and other creative storage areas...uh, I mean bedrooms. ;)

I got a few small parts back from the anodizer and powder coater yesterday afternoon, so I was able to get some of the cab moldings and trim pieces on, as well as make sure the instrument cluster still fits...

Then I got a little gift from a buddy in the mail today...I'll have to machine it, but I think I have my column shifter handle. :hm:

real nice color on the truck and I like what you did to the front fenders .

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

Started to arrange and layout the bed wood planks, marking for cuts and notches to accommodate the extended wheel tubs...

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

After struggling with finding a decent door weatherstrip (bought one from Steele, tried a friend's Precision) without any possibility of closing and latching my doors, I broke down and ordered a set from Honda. Having gone through the pains of gluing in a weatherstrip before, resisting using glue turned out to be a plus. I was most concerned about fitment and staying put at the top of the door - it fits nice and secure...oh, and I can shut and latch my doors with a single finger. ;)

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

Looks nice, I'm definitely going to use the Honda seals on my truck. Even the original seals don't allow the door to close properly

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

BEAUTIFUL! Luv the color combo!!!

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

Thanks, guys! California Car Cover Co. embroidered the cover...

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

After being way over center on my door adjustments trying to make the aftermarket door weatherstrip work, I installed a Honda push-on weatherstrip, removed all of the shims from the hinges, and adjusted all four hinge mounts and striker. Finally, success and the door opens and closes with ease...

Re: Intro and Some Photos of my '63 Project
 

Nice, do you mind telling what year and model Honda are they from?

Back window in...finally. Had a little issue with getting the chrome lockstrip - kept getting the black one shipped to me:

Thanks! I got the bed wood and strips cut to size to mock up the center before pulling the bed from the chassis again:

My powder coater said that he could match my paint color for a few smaller items. So, I handed him parts of my Chassisworks dual 15 lbs. nitrous bottle bracket:
