Another fab project completed on the 68 (pics)
 

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile now, and since my new shop toys came today, I couldn't resist jumping on it.

I had already welded up the hole for the blower motor, but I didn't like how that side of the firewall had the "jog" in in, compared to the rounded part on the drivers side. So I filled it in. The new shrinker/stretcher I got today was just the thing I needed to do this too!

Glock, you are a truck building stud.

Everyone needs to look and learn from this guy. He's a master.

Glock..When I need some cool fab work done I'm headed your way...

ondrew

Glock,
Too cool, I just got done doing the very same thing last month. I just never seem to post pics tho. I think both of us are at about the same spots on our trucks.
Have fun

Thanks for the comments guys! Doing this stuff is just too much fun! I enjoy learning how to do new things as I go through this project. I figure this will be the one and only time I have to do EVERYTHING I have always had in mind if I were to customize a truck. They are all small and subtle, by I know they are there.

silvertonguedevil - The more little things I get done to her, the more excited I get too! I can't wait until this thing is ready for paint! :D

Tx Firefighter - Dude, you are embarrasing me!! I am just a VERY lucky guy, very lucky to have the place and the means to do this stuff. I am nothing more than a shade tree hacker having the time of my life learning new things!!!

Cethern - We are about an hour apart, come have a beer anytime!

roj2323 - If I can get my other cab brought over to my place from my Dad's so I had a pattern, I may be able to do that.........

Bowtiefreak - I think this is the best mod that can be done to the firewall next to shaving the heater stuff. Get some pics up dude!!

Looks really great! Can't beat having fun doing something like that.

It's the most fun I've had since....well, that's private :)

I just finished up doing a frenched antenna on the drivers side a little while ago. I'll get some pics up later on.

Wow that looks great. I would like to see a photo of it when you get it primered. Keep up the good work.

Look's damn good I have been about half way through that same mod for about 3 month's now ,just can't seem to find the time to finish it....

Glock,I see you have a scooter in your garage. What is it?

Damn they got a tool for that?? I used a sand bag and a mallet to do that on 68LS1's truck. I gotta keep up with these new fangled inventions their making.

2004 Yamaha V-Star. I wanted a Harley Fat Boy. but didn't like the $15,000 price tag!! Got the Yammy for $5600 brand new, and I got them to throw in the windshield! Looks just like it, sounds just like it, runs just like it, just a lot of $$$ less!

...........and you're ridin! :metal:

Amen!! Plus, I saved lots of money so I could trick it out...bought some sweet saddlebags and modified them, made some highway bars, better exhaust, rejetted the carb, better intake system. Runs like a bat outta hell now, and sounds 10x better! :burnout:
