Whats happening with your build?

Normy71 · 11-23-2010, 10:17 PM

Thanks for the interest my Dad passed away in July and I just seem to have lost the go. Dad did bring me a set of Doug Thorley headers up from the US before he passed away.
He was very interested in my build also.
I plan on getting back into my build soon.
All your builds on this great site keep me very interested.

If maybe your looking for motivation to get started on it again. You could change your routine of the build and build it for your dad. Make it like a memorial and put in memory of your dad on the tailgate or something. Just an idea to help out.

Normy71 · 11-24-2010, 09:29 PM

That would be a good idea, might help me to get going.
This is why I like this site so much.

That came from a young gun. Glad I could help. Once you get going you'll get a lot more motivated through it. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, with your build.

shawno72 · 11-24-2010, 09:44 PM

Hey that looks to be a great start. Cant wait to see how you shorten the bed

yukon ratrod · 11-25-2010, 01:23 AM

great project! nice to see the newer engine and trans combo. Im doing a 72 that I had shortened as well. check out my thread, perhaps some of my box picts can be of some use to you. I cut the box in such away that theres no seam in the middle at the front. if I can help in anyway let me know. keep up the good work.

Normy71 · 12-07-2010, 05:01 PM

Finally got out to the shop
This is some pictures of my Headers on.

Normy71 · 12-07-2010, 05:09 PM

Next was the passengers side sheet metal after lot of head scratching I decided I need to make my cab lift.
The cab tilt works quite well, one person can handle as long as you use the wooden cab dolly underneath for a lever to lift it up.

Gordonr1973 · 12-07-2010, 10:56 PM

Sorry to hear about your dad....

New pictures are looking good.

Gordon

gopokes · 12-07-2010, 11:19 PM

Cab tilt looks like it works awesome. Good work!!

Normy71 · 12-07-2010, 11:23 PM

Thanks!
I wish I would have had the tilt when I started the drivers side repairs.

chevy88 · 01-10-2011, 08:51 AM
