great build lookin forward to seeing it done keep it up

**CHIZZLER** · 08-28-2011, 10:59 PM

sure dog.they are called fulton visors.they came in many models. they repop them for about $500.you can find originals on e-bay for about $250 and up.the right one for your truck would be the 807 series.good luck.

**CHIZZLER** · 08-28-2011, 11:15 PM

there happens to be one on portland craigslist in the auto parts section.search visors.its in canby for $350.looks really nice.good luck

fredscarryall · 09-04-2011, 08:03 PM

nice work.i bet it felt good to take it for a cruise.craiglist can be a scary thing when it comes to motors. mine was a craiglist 383 stroker motor with 450 horse and a 500 lift cam.i know for a fact its a stroker motor, but when i fired it up, the cam sounds stock. i should have checked the cam, crank and timing gears but they were already installed. looks like you beat me buy a couple days on being able to drive.if everything goes good i should have mine back from being wired on wednesday or thursda.

bjcaldwe · 09-04-2011, 09:39 PM

Congrats. It is definitely looking good.

**CHIZZLER** · 09-24-2011, 11:24 PM

well guys been getting a lot of little things done.got the air system all done.i need to talk to justin(scotts hot rod) about a front sway bar.got the new window gasket to make one piece side windows.i have only seen one company that makes side window kits and it uses the factory trim on the outside.mine will be without.been workin out all the small issues.seems i have a pin hole in one of the front bags.rear shocks are a little to short.all this little stuff takes so much time before you can even think of getting it on the road.oh well.thanks chizzler.

Scottshotrods · 09-24-2011, 11:30 PM

thanks justin.

**CHIZZLER** · 10-09-2011, 10:55 PM

well got some more work done today got the templates made for the one piece side windows.also if you have a panel or burb you will know about the rear door handle sag.we took it and welded on it till it was straight.also got the shifter finished with the pabst blue ribbon tap.i got all my parts painted to put my unrestored plate on.should be getting my sway bar from scotts any time.i guess were gonna take a front splash pan and cut it to fit the back.nobody makes one. more pics to come.thanks chizzler

fredscarryall · 10-10-2011, 12:07 AM

the shifter handle looks awesome. i got a fiberglass rear bumper filler off of ebay, it came with some crapy fiberglass brackets. so i need to figure out a way to mount it. modifying a front filler to fit the back is a good very good idea and it would mount really easy. have you talked to steve the glass worker about your side glass. he has alot of solid glass templates and uses some really good quality rubber seals. steve installed mine but i already had the side glass. the install looks really nice and he is very affordable.

texacokie · 10-10-2011, 12:10 AM

Looking awesome man!

**CHIZZLER** · 10-10-2011, 12:22 AM

thanks guys.fred i already have the gasket for the windows.i have a guy in woodburn thats gonna cut the windows.were gonna do all the windows including the wing and door windows in either smoked or green.is your filler panel a repop or a used one.any pics?

fredscarryall · 10-10-2011, 12:34 AM

my filler panel is a repop fiberglass. i would have gotten an original but like you i cant find one anywhere. a tint in the glass would be really cool.i bought some smoke tint side door glass for my 50 chevy truck from lmc and really liked it.

**CHIZZLER** · 12-25-2011, 03:28 PM

merry x-mas everyone.can anyone tell me who is making a rear filler panel (splash guard).been trying to find one.been working on the burb and got all the windows in except for the doors.just went up to chevs of the 40s and got all my door window seals.drove it a couple times on some farm roads and everything is working well.will post some pics soon.thanks chizzler
