Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

There have been many times I had to walk away from a car at my real job and work on something else. Then I come back to it and it falls into place. BTW thanks

Thanks Dennis! I did a search of this thread for "good job" just for the heck of it and this is what it said.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

No progress on the truck for a week. It all boils down to being lazy.

What have I done now?? A guy traded me a 1986 4Runner and cash for my Turbo Miata. You know how it is when you get tired of of a car/truck. Get something else. I know it's not a Chevy, but a SBC might end up in it. Don't know what I will do. Just want to be able to take the kids off road.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I say you put a SBC in it, get rid of the front diff and the transfer case and whatnot, and BAG IT. make it a tail dragger http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...ilies/wave.gif

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

5.3 w/ 4L60E and transfer sounds pretty funny rock buggy.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You need to try one of these. They're a blast. :metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

:lol: i bet it is!! I would get into trouble with that

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan you done farting around with that Toyota yet?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

What is the hold up here? I mean aren't you concerned with cycle time and the customers rental bill......... :lol::lol::lol:
*
Looking good.. I just welded up the holes in those fenders and threw down some mud.
have a great weekend

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I agree with the SBC.;)

Maybe I would have better luck with that drive train.

If I had your money I'd have 2 of them. ;)

No, It laid down on me last weekend. It didn't quit, it's was running rough. Trying to figure it out. There's to many possible causes. Just trying to narrow them down.

:haha:
Other than the Toyota, life is getting in the way.;) BTW I pulled this on out of the woods for dirt cheap and it runs, but does need work.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

It looks really straight.
BTW, I don't have a lot of money. If I did I wouldn't be in debt. But still my bills are very low. That was the plan to retire. That's why I'm still working. I like toys. :lol: I rather be doing only my stuff.
At my age, I'm having fun. You can't take it with you.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'm just messin' with you. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers if I did. LOL. I hope to get back on the 65 soon.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

He's to busy spending all his money to work on his truck.:lol: I'll bet that Toyota cost about a fifth of the utv. I'm with you Strodder you can't take it with. I'm leaving this place owing.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I knew you were messing with me. A lot of people think I have a lot of money because of the toys I have. I just spend it wisely, and not all at once. It took a long time to build up to this point. I worked my a$$ off all my life and USED TO MAKE GOOD MONEY. But now it's a third of what I used to make. :waah:
There, I feel better now. :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yeah I paid $450 for the silver one.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat.

Still trouble shooting the 4Runner :sumo: here is a LINK to the discussion.

Shannon brought his cab over yesterday so we can get to work on his. Here is a Link to his build. Maybe I can get motivated once I get this Yoda running.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

But I was prepared for it by lowering the bills, and getting SS & Snap-on retirement. Hang in there. It should get better. Your lucky compared to other body men. At least you know mechanical also. That opens up more doors.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Does it count as progress even if I just got some metal so I can fab up the fuel pocket in the bed? I want to work on it, but this damn yoda is still fighting me for 2 1/2 weeks. Any body got a match? :devil: :lol: I've learned alot about emmisions and computers this past 2.5 weeks just haven't learned enough to get it right.;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

.....of course it counts!!! Remember, 1 thing at a time is progress :lol:........

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Darn right it counts- Some days just planning things is progress!!!
Be careful--- I have heard those Yodas are Tojo's revenge:chevy:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

How soon we forget our own motto. ;)

I guess I'm making progress every day then. :haha: Tojo's getting revenge on me alright. :waah:

Since I'm getting my butt kicked by these 2 yoda's I had to build my confidence up a little. It just reinforces the fact of why I do body work over doing mechanic work for a living. I think I would starve. :lol:

I also had to prove that I was still around and hadn't abandoned the project. I cut out the inner fuel pocket and got it bent. I used some metal from a wrecked hood at work. Then ran it thru the sand blaster on the side you see. I've go to put some more sand in the cabinet, so I didn't do the underside yet.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Nice work Alan,

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks David, it felt good to get something done on it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Nice work Alan. I need one of those benders!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thats a cool idea, i like it!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

subscribed amazing work

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'm sure they will sell you one. LOL It's good but not great. I couldn't shear the metal I made this piece out of. If I had it more secure to the table then I might be able to shear it. It weighs about 300# and don't want it to tip.

:thumbs:

Thanks for subscribing and thanks for the comments. I hope to get more done soon. I've got a couple fires I got to put out first. :waah:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Any progress on the '65? Hopefully after the kids go back to school I can get back on mine.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Got a little something done tonight. Got the other door seal glued in place.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Hey getting closer with every rubber :lol:

Any clue on the finish date for that bad boy Alan?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

nice to see you making some progress on the '65

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I don't have a clue when it will be on the road or even running. I should be able to spend a little time on it here and there. I've been helping Shannon get his metal work going and Ronnie is planning on bringing his cab to me pretty soon. He's basically waiting on me.

It's nice to see something getting done. I might start working on the hood and get it done so I can have somemore floor space. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking good Alan --What are you using for adhesive on the door rubbers?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

hey looks like it is coming along nicely can you post some more pics of the entire truck?
and also the inside and anyhting else you think might be enteresting ?
thanks looking foward to seeing more pics.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I agree. Your teasing us. :lol: :wop:
