I wish! I only had Sunday and Monday off...and the same yesterday and today. Ah well...gonna get the fire wall grommets and pad before I do the wiring. But working on getting the column mounted to see what mods I need to do. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Ordered up a brake master cylinder and some other parts. Life has been busy and winter has kept me staying careful with how much money I spend as my job can turn seasonal. Will be starting a new job soon with better pay and even More hours so....MORE TRUCK PARTS! :metal:
Small update for now...should have more tomorrow. Clear coated the master cyl to keep it from turning into a pile of rust within a few months. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

TJ-- a little progress is better than none. You're doing a great job, no cutting corners now. I see your saws in the background, i have a few myself that i restored. couple of pics (last one is waiting) I have friends that just moved to Grants Pass, if and when i get up there will try and come see your tk if ok.

Stay warm---kimble

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Kimble! Those are some nice restorations there....I'd love to have that super d44!

Couple more updates today....got the master cylinder mounted up and am mocking up the steering column. More updates soon folks. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

It has been a bit since I've checked in... Looking Great Brotha!!!:metal:

You'll be driving this one soon...:uhmk:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks man! Hope to be! :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

More work showed up! :metal:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Have fun T.J. Why are your toolbox drawers empty and not full of tools? HAHA

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks BJ....those boxes are the old one from work. Just upgraded to a bigger one as I ran out of tool space!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey TJ, I just caught up with your build and the truck is looking great.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hey, I actually have a 12 drawer top/3 drawer bottom set of Craftsman boxes from that exact same series/era as your top box. Came from an old Delta mechanic and has a F.O.D. warning sticker on the side of it. I just wish the top box had rollers on the drawers.

Hope you get some more work done on the truck soon. I just signed a contract on a house with a large shop (think it used to be a service station...supposedly built in '45)...looking forward to being able to get set up and start working on my stuff again soon! Still haven't fixed any of the crash damage on my driver, lol.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Time is a flying...especially working 10 hour days 5 days a week. lol But the weather is getting nicer and I'm itching to get back at it. Had some time and a bit of energy left this evening to tackle drilling holes and mounting one of the sail panels. What a job and very tedious as to not scratch and chip paint. Came out nicely though. Hoping to install the other one tomorrow. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Progress is progress! Sail is looking good next to the fresh paint

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks guyz! Hoping to get more done throughout the week as the weather is supposed to start getting nicer. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Looks great!!!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Mid-shift kit came in for the tremec so hopefully this weekend I'll start digging into getting that installed which means I can finally install the trans tunnels. Also working on getting the gauge cluster mounted to the bezel. Got the other sail panel installed this evening, but didn't get a picture yet. More updates soon. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Gett'n there!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Hoping I can pick up the pace soon. lol Thanks buddy!

Re: Project two tone.
 

Well recent events have kept me from the shop lately. Anyhow, spend this evening removing the trans and installing the mid-shift kit. More work had to be done than originally intended so I pulled the trans to make it easier. Only took about 15 minutes to. Love old trucks. Anyhow...as she sits and it'll be back on in the morning. Now I can paint and install the tunnels and drive shaft.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Glad to see you are able to get back at it TJ.

Re: Project two tone.
 

Thanks Palf!
Had a rather motivated day and got the trans installed along with getting both inner fenders painted up. Just need to cut and buff and they'll be ready. Next the rad support and drive shaft. :chevy:

Re: Project two tone.
 

Last couple of pictures. Nice not having the shifter wedged under the cab any more. lol
