the latest on mexican flu on the news over here is that the health commitee said it isnt as bad as believed by many ........................wish basicly means you have to pay for youre own vaccination against it

Strodder · 08-15-2009, 11:31 PM

Got a little more work done on the roof. And took of the A pillar drip rail. I got it to look like it should have been that way stock. I can't wait to get a skim coat on it.

In case you forgot what it looked like here's the left side. I already hammered down the drip rail though.

While I was at it I fit the door better, and extended it to get the gaps correct at the side cowl panel. Also shaved the mirror, side trim and the antenna hole

Strodder · 08-15-2009, 11:41 PM

I still have a lot more touch up welding to do, but ran out of gas. Need to get more Monday. Almost half way around the roof. Man is that time consuming. But worth it.

BTW that parts washer solution works good. Not great but good if you let it soak. Way better than nothing.

Strodder · 08-15-2009, 11:45 PM

Also taking off the A pillar was a great idea. It was rusting underneath it. Even if i was keeping it I would take it off to clean the rust, and treat it, and paint it . It is only spot welded on, and came off real easy with a chizzle.

Strodder · 08-15-2009, 11:58 PM

I have the frame almost done on the Studebaker. Put S-10 Differential in it with disc brakes. The U bolts had to be re bent so it would fit the lower spring mount,(I had to modify that too), it's the lower shock mount also. I had to make all new bigger brake lines and fuel line.

joe231 · 08-16-2009, 12:00 AM

The drip rail treatmant is very cool!
gonna be a very subtle mod, but well worth the effort

watahyahknow · 08-16-2009, 05:15 AM

i agree with that its going to be a very nice truck .
i once read about someone closing the gaps on the doors of his camaro by welding weldingrod ontoo the edge of the sheetmetal and grind them down untill the gap was right all around it looked pretty good and i can immagine it works better then laying big welds or using filler

daverod · 08-16-2009, 10:11 AM

Damn, you busy the other day your trucks coming along. Think I'm going to take my edge off the doors. I don't know about the roof? I'll see how yours turns out . Looks like a lot of work. How bad is it just to cut the drip edge off the roof?

Thanks Joe. It's a mod that you wouldn't notice right away. People will look at it and say something is different, but can't see it right away. It doesn't change any lines of the truck. It just cleans it up.

Thanks. The wide gap wasn't along the whole door. It was only in the middle of it. It was very irregular. That's why I didn't use welding rod. It was just as easy to build it up by weld it.

You both stated what I was thinking as I was examining the work. Nice vision Strodder!!!

Very nice work.

I always thought cutting off the drip rail leaves it looking like something is missing, and plain looking. That's why I'm making it a flair. Besides just cutting it off is the easy way out.

I have problems also. All the upper menu on the font line doesn't work. Also thread tools won't drop down. I don't know who to ask that could help.
