Haven't been on in quite a while and it was interesting reading through your work. Looks like you're making great progress, I'm envious!

Keep up the good work, can't wait to see pics of the finished project (if we ever completely finish).

Take care,
Jon

Daniel U · 04-29-2007, 10:38 AM

Thanks Jon. I'm looking forward to posting pics with some color and getting her down the road. I'll try to get some more pics this week.

Daniel U · 04-29-2007, 02:38 PM

I'm throwing the idea around about scrapping the interior/wheels and stereo for now and just drive the thing ASAP. My dd is getting tired with 166k miles on it. I hope to start on it after the truck is finished, if they ever are?

Daniel U · 04-30-2007, 05:58 PM

Here's a couple of shots of the speaker box/amp housing. The 6X9's will sit to the left/right of the 10's.

i know you are already doing this, but rear speakers in a regular cab truck are useless IMHO. i unhooked mine in my truck, and never missed them.

Daniel U · 05-01-2007, 11:22 AM

The dilema I have is where else to put them. I refuse to cut my doors and the highs are behind the dash grill. I want a full sound range. The professionals I've talked to said they'd be good there. They also mentioned the small amount of cab space and having plenty of sound for the truck.

1-ton of fun · 05-01-2007, 11:59 AM

you will hear them, but the sound will be muffled. if you could, i would make or have made some pods to hold some mids in the kick panels. if you can't make that work, then put them back there.

it is more about the quality of the sound, and not just the volume. the subwoofers are fine back there, it is putting the mids back there that i would strongly advise against if possible.

I think if he put some 6.5" 2 ways in kick pods you should have enough mids depending on the crossovers you'll be using. That should provide better all around sound quality, BTW: Daniel, are you just putting tweeters in the grill? Do you have space to put a 4.5" 2 way?

Daniel U · 05-01-2007, 02:43 PM

Maybe mounting them above the sub box pointing up, kinda where a head rest would be? Maybe that would be too loud?

This is the 1st vehicle I will own with a "custom stereo". So I'm still learning by trial and error. When I talked to the stereo shop, they recommended this set up, as I didn't want to put anything in the doors or kick panels. If I'm not happy with the sound whe it's finished, I can always go another direction. As of right now, I'd like to keep the aftermaket stuff as hidden as possible and keep a factory-ish look to it. I know the A/C and CD player won't look correct, but function beat fashion on that one. I have to say, Paul's metal work on the lower dash to extend it was done well:

Daniel U · 05-03-2007, 03:49 PM

The cab is off of the truck for the last time. The underside will be undercoated shortly. It should be sealed in black soon.

Daniel U · 05-10-2007, 03:43 AM

My custom plates just came in from DMV:

watahyahknow · 05-10-2007, 05:19 AM

i was wondering if you want the ceiling allso stock , you could make speakerpods in both front upper corners just above the a pillars and put the same upholstering on there as you do the ceiling (sorry forgot the correct english word for it ) if you use fabric you might not even need the speakers to stick through and mount a set of say 5 inch mids in there , there verry close to youre ears so they dont need to be realy loud

Not sure if I want speakers in my headliner. I got some pics of the chassis today:

solidaxel · 05-10-2007, 10:06 PM

Daniel, that looks like gloss black is it?
I think I like that better than satin black!

Daniel U · 05-14-2007, 01:07 AM

Yup, the chassis will be gloss black. I haven't decided on the inner fenders yet. Eveything else will be GM Polo green.

72blazercst · 05-21-2007, 01:18 AM

Daniel, where is Pauls shop at I live in Salinas and well be down there next Sat,
If you or Paul dont mind i would like to check it out in person

Daniel U · 05-21-2007, 02:04 AM

I don't mind at all. Will you be there Sat. morning for the show? He said he'll be there too and doesn't mind letting me have the keys for a bit.

Daniel U · 05-21-2007, 06:28 PM

Here's some shots of the chassis reassembled with motor/trans/fuel tank and suspension sitting on 14" front 15" rear rally wheels.

Paul's been doing side work, so no paint or undercoating yet

texascowboy593 · 05-21-2007, 07:15 PM

Man thats looking good Daniel!!!

Daniel U · 05-22-2007, 02:22 AM

Thanks Tex. The hardlines for the trans. are ran as well as brakes.

sevt_chevelle · 05-22-2007, 10:01 AM

Daniel,
I was reading thru your build again and wondering how you used the the stock turn down handles with the bear claw latches?
Maybe I missed it but is there something special that can be bought to make this work or did you need to fab up something?

Looks like you will have a great truck on your hands when done

Daniel U · 05-25-2007, 12:24 PM

This should explain it better than I can:
http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/...latch_install/
Let me know if you have any other ?'s. I believe the latches will work with most cars/trucks with a little modification.

sevt_chevelle · 05-25-2007, 02:23 PM

Daniel, thanks for the link, very clean insteal on those latches.

But what am wondering is how you hooked up the stock outside turn down door handle to work with the bear claws?
I want to run the stock handles on my 49 and want to rid itself of those god awful stock latches.

Daniel U · 05-25-2007, 04:51 PM

Well actually, it hasn't been done yet. I'll get some shots of it when we get there for you.

Daniel, I was reading thru your build again and wondering how you used the the stock turn down handles with the bear claw latches? Maybe I missed it but is there something special that can be bought to make this work or did you need to fab up something? Looks like you will have a great truck on your hands when done __________________ Currently working on How To Videos and custom metal 70 Chevelle gettin Sliced and Diced Anything But STOCK 70 Chevelle SS455 not a typo its a BUICK BABY 49 and 72 Chevy Trucks restored to original...close to it Drommer Stor....Norwegian for Dream Big http://s969.photobucket.com/albums/a...lle/?start=all https://www.flickr.com/photos/47922830@N03/ Pictures of my work and projects

This should explain it better than I can: http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/...latch_install/ Let me know if you have any other ?'s. I believe the latches will work with most cars/trucks with a little modification. __________________ Mom's 1954 (TBI 5.7/700R4/14 bolt 4:10) 5 Chevrolet window 3/4 ton long bed Pick up build thread ->http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=228674 My 1954 (TPI 5.7/700R4/10 bolt 3:73) Chevrolet 5 window 1/2 ton short bed Pick up build thread->http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...3&goto=newpost 1960 (400/T350/?)

But what am wondering is how you hooked up the stock outside turn down door handle to work with the bear claws? I want to run the stock handles on my 49 and want to rid itself of those god awful stock latches. __________________ Currently working on How To Videos and custom metal 70 Chevelle gettin Sliced and Diced Anything But STOCK 70 Chevelle SS455 not a typo its a BUICK BABY 49 and 72 Chevy Trucks restored to original...close to it Drommer Stor....Norwegian for Dream Big http://s969.photobucket.com/albums/a...lle/?start=all https://www.flickr.com/photos/47922830@N03/ Pictures of my work and projects
