That looks great, Wade. Are you going to do the ceiling too? If you do, make sure you get a haircut and wear a goggles. ;) Good luck going forward.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Um no, I will be buying an ABS unit and modifying it. Even I am not that crazy to try and fibreglass upside down.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

or check out atomiks build on here, he basically fiberglassed the top of the roof as a form for the interior. I think it worked for him.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Here's my build page link (below). The fiberglass headliner pages start at entry # 164 on my thread. I haven't covered the headliner panel yet, (just finished painting the exterior), but I hope to pick an interior color and get going on it this summer.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

I did think of doing it the way Atommik did it. I have been following both of those builds. If I was smarter I would of used my new roof panel before it was on the truck. I don't want anything elaborate because with that dash, things can seem really "busy".

Well I got busy. Travelling, recovering from back again, starting another business yadda yadda. I am just getting ready to change the script on the tailgate and put in a new hood latch. Can't find my hinges. Your truck is looking awesome man.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Any updates?

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Any updates on your killer truck? I know its sledding season for us :bann: as my 50 pickup project will come to a halt now too but a few pics if any would be great!

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

In case anybody has been wondering, I am still alive. I have taken a break from my truck for a long time. Bought a bus and toured around the great US of A. Looking around for my final nesting place. As I write this in sitting in Arizona catching up on project I have been following. Some awesome work out the people. I haves lot of travelling to do this year again but the good news is I am motivated to start working on my truck again. We will see how it goes.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

I did restore a couple bikes I had. Guess I needed to step away from the truck for a little while.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Bikes were not as easy as I thought to do.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Last one next ones will be of work done on truck.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

I like those Honda Dream's. That is a Dream isn't it? I'd like to pick one up for my wife.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

glad to see you back in the saddle. nice work on the bikes.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Yeah it's a 1966 Dream 305. Same year as me.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Well now that ride height and bumpers are all on, it is soon time to come apart again. Few things to do before I take it apart though. Fabricate a tunnel under passenger inner fender for AC/heater hoses, hook up shifter cable, trans dipstick, figure out battery location, fuel pump location, throttle cable.....oh boy. Truck has a static suspension and needs to come down another inch or so.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Why are my pictures sideways? I had no problems before. Maybe because I had my phone sideways when I took it? Got my fuel filler figured out today. I wanted it centered near the rear. I am changing that cap as I hate it. Took the wood out a final time.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Need to fit some shocks in here.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Shock mounting is supposed to be on rear of lower arms but it's tight back there.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

OMG, this photo thing is ticking me off. Been too long since I posted I guess.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Hope my buddy likes the look of the back of my truck. He figures his AMG 550 is gonna hand me my a--. Not if I can hook it up. I don't think....

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Your truck is so fine. One of the best AD's I have ever seen. Perfect combination of class and cool. Keep up the great work.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Wow! Thanks Windows. It's been so long since I touched it I was getting worried it was outdated already.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Brushed up on my swear words today. Made a bracket to hold lines away from tire.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Love the wheels...what are they?

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Intro "Rio"

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Try to get a picture right side up this time.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Well, it was a little closer to being the right rotation. I give up.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Nice looking inner panel. Ac and heater coolant lines? Wow, pictures are really fighting you.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

nice work, hahahha I brush up on my curse words a ton while working. things have been rufffff lately. at home, not cursing in front of kids. its like an on off switch.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Yeah today I had to rework my ac/heater hoses. Kicking myself for using s/s braided lines. Miserable things. I am still in mock up stage after a two year break so I'm itching to take it apart and start finishing work. Not sure what is going on with my pictures. Sorry about that.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Been fighting with aligning up my hood and fenders before I can take truck apart. I had to fix bottom radius on drivers fender to start. Hood refused to line up. Had gap in center of fender 3/8". Shimmed up front can mounts 1/16" and it was better. Found broken rivets on hood allowing flex.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Took out grille again to see WTH is going on. Figured out my problem. Had to move front of drivers fender out almost 1/4". Now I'm happy with hood. Need to install new cable latch then fix radius at the front of both front fenders so they line up with hood. These fenders did not fit worth a damn.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Happy happy. That was two days of hell.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong with my pictures? I'm using an IPhone 6...

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

Are you using the fender braces that attach to the firewall? That is the easiest way to remove that gap

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

I can't find mine. I'm pretty sure they will clear the supercharger but my AC compressor is going to be a problem. I may have to build some as I want them in. Gives me an idea though. Maybe fab up a fancy brace.

Re: My 1952 truck.
 

nice work, as for the pics. do you hit preview bf you post? If it is clocked wrong, you have to edit the photo and save it then re upload the photo. If you take the picture initially turned sideways or upright etc, its going to clock your picture in that way. So as I said you need to edit it. Which (I4 user) you can actually do on your phone, edit it there bf you upload it to your computer. Or if you have any type of editing program on your cpu, you can edit your photo there. Its all an easy fix, you just need to rotate your images and save your file bf you upload it to this site.
