Re: Project Cod Fish
 

ALL your work is awesome!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I will agree! EB, I have been keeping a close eye on this thread and you have done excellent work!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Nice work men!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

eb - did you use filler rod to reduce the door gap?

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Rob, sorry no update yesterday. I had kid duty and my son wasn't feeling well. Here are some shots of the rocker and fuel filler fill in. Just about done with this side.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

LooseCannon, yes I welded 1/8 inch rod all the way down the edge of the door to close the gap.........Just kidding. I needed about an inch and a half of 3/16 at the "B" pillar about where the drip rail ends. The rest of the gap was good.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Its about time for a video. This is the left door closing with the weather strip installed.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

looks great EB i like the video. Really starting to take shape now!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

cabs lookin real good

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

eb i love the work you do you are a master metal man.i would love to tear down a 64-66 cab and go the route you have on this one for rob.i know the only way to get a rustfree cab these days are to build one because the rustfree ones don't exist anymore.keep up the good work.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean about rust free cabs.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

wow, great work , i liked the looks of the flush mount windows, if your gonna do that would you also remove the drip rail, i think that looks great. again great skills you have,

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

:jdp: I haven't decided if eb's work motivates me or makes me want to give up on my own metal work. :lol: Either way it looks like awesome work. This is going to be a nice truck!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I feel the same way...

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Not much progress to report on my end it has been raining every other day here. Finally got the one piece windows to Ebfabman..... Long story Maybe he will have update soon.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

I just look at the screen and shake my head with amazement!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb is back to work on the cab... Here is a pic of the roof skin fit. We are goin to weld the seam solid along the back.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

are you going to weld the seam for looks or for strength. looking good!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Both...... mostly for looks.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

EB,

Kudos on your work, I've never seen anything like it. Looks like I found my brithday-present to myself. Your videos...

That truck is gonna be nice !!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks for showing the work on the cowl area! Mine is in similar shape and I was wondering what to do with it. Your work just answered that questions!
Another question, where is the roof skin from? I need that too.
Thanks for all of the info.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

The skin came from Southern Kentucky Classics

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Thanks for the info on the roof skin. I just called them for pricing $175.00
How well is the fit compared to the stock roof?

Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for the info.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

maybe EB will chime in as the pic is all the info i have

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey guys, yes the fit is pretty good. I'll know more this weekend when I get it final welded. Right now I'm working on the dash. Kinda tagging on a few things at once to get to a point where some epoxy primer can be sprayed. I want to spray the inside firewall, the back side of the dash, and the top of the cab, before the new skin goes on for good :)

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

wow.. your a Guru at metal work. I wish my metal work would turn out lookin like that.... Great progress on the cab....

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey EB, please keep taking pictures of all of the vent work like the ones on page 3. Im following in your foot steps!
Thanks for the inspiration.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Here is a picture of the dash area.... The middle area will be used for a dvd/stereo unit at a later time. Let me know what ya think. As usual EB has done a great job

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

All i can say is WOW to Ebs' metal work, i thought i was ok,at it and i do it for a living, but wow, very nicely finished. congrats!!!!! What do you use for a welder Eb, i see that you finish it in 80 grit and finer D/A, and what are you using to grind if you do not mind me asking, we all have our own little tricks.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Hey Rob, what do you think?


.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Looks great Eb! Gettin close!

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Rob, here is the roof. A little tweaking, but the fit is pretty good. I think I will post this over in the other area for others who have asked about roof skins to see.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb please go ahead and cut the hole for the radio. it is 7" x 2" cut it low so that when the screen is open it dont cover the ac control. Call me if you have questions Thanks

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Eb here is a pic of the radio. The screen flips up out of the radio.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Looks great! Post more of the cowl area as you get to it. Thanks

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Any more progress ??

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Finished dash, and the drip rail detail where the new roof skin was a little short. I'll post some pics of the drip rails in a bit.

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

sweet progress

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

This is my favorite build. Except I don't know where it's headed, dropped, stock or whatever. Anyone know what colors it's getting ??

Re: Project Cod Fish
 

Very cool,

It might be to late might but did you consider the other vintage air controls?
