my build

[clemson71guy]

well the windows are offically done, so thats one less worry
I think i want to lower the truck somemore. maybe get a drop spindle and cut a coil or 2 in the rear to make it a 4-6 drop then get some shock relocators and then it will be perfect.

you cant cut rear coils. they are tapered aat bolth ends, but.. you can use lowering blocks.

what is the tint on the windows. is that the one peice kit that comes tinted or did you have them tinted? . that looks just like how i want them on my 68.

[clemson71guy]

ok well i guss ill just buy new drop springs for the back if i dont like the 4 inch drop it already has
the windows came tinited, on the box it says its medium tint
i was trying to get it close to my rear window tint which it smoked and it looks just like it so i guss them are smoked to.

well i havent really had time to work on it, but these next 2 weekends im going to be busy on it so be ready for some updates.

[clemson71guy]

well i got a little update, yesterday we went and done some more work on the fenders just pounding some dents out of it and the hood. we might go and work on them more this weekend and if we do ill be shure to take some pictures.

good luck with those windows man, i really hate playing with glass. so i feel ya.

and those radiator hoses are sharp...dang. thats wayyy too much chrome.

lookin' good, as always.

-Sam.

[samwise68]

glad to hear ya got the windows squared away man!

it always seems the minor little gremlins always take the most time.

and no worries on the liscense. just don't rush the build to drive it because you got your lisc. Not saying you would, but i'd hate to see a great looking build like this end up kind of haphazardly thrown together, just because of some anxiousness.

still looking good as always man, keep at 'er.

-Sam.

[clemson71guy]

thanks sam

well not much has been getting done as you can tell. but i went out today and finished wiring up the gauges and pretty much decided that i am going to trash that cover, so my dad got some aluminum and cut out the holes for it and put a bowtie in the middle of it, i will get pictures of it when he brings it home from work
the front fenders and hood WILL be painted by the end of next week, even if i have to paint them myself.
and thats it for now

[andrewt2]

I like the cover, want to sell it?! lol

[RCbowtie69]

looking good, keep up the work, one day it be all done and looking good forever. i have a 69 swb i've been working on. hope one day i can post some pictures.

[clemson71guy]

thanks RCbowtie

very little progress latley...i think my dads starting to loose intrest so scense i got my lisense friday i drove down to the shop and put some more bondo one one of the fenders and its ready to primer and the other one is new so its ready for primer, then i got the hood pretty smooth but it still needs some work.
put some small stuff on the truck like all the glove box bumpers,ashtray bumpers all that stuff
tomorrow im going to try and get the locks and the outside door handle hooked up and maybe go get some mirrors for er.

[clemson71guy]

well today i took the top radatior supports off and painted them again because they looked like crap.
then dad got home and he came up with the bright idea of using silicone to hold the windows in insted of that rubber crap.
so we went to a boat store and bought some "marine grade silicone".
so i guss we will see tomorrow if his idea will work or not.

[jwcardy]

looks awesome man...i couldnt think of a better father/son project...

[clemson71guy]

well guys i havent even touched my truck in a while, so its just been kinda sitting here wating. now im looking for something elese to drive until the summer...maybe it will be done by then.

[DrtyJack75]

Your build is SICK!! Dont lose faith, I want to see the finished product...

[cflvulcan]

great build, this brings back memories of when me and my dad first did my truck...

[andrewt2]

We need updates this has been such a top notch build i hope your not getting burnt out with it!

[84 400]

cool build man. Me and my dad are rebuilding a 1956 willys wagon. School really slows me down (back at school now so nothing gets done for 2 more months but I don't loose intrest........) Can't wait to see it.

very inspiring build im prob about the same age as you its cool to see other kids my age on here

I wish i had that much money to put into my build

[clemson71guy]

thanks allen123 your truck is nice man. i wish mine was drivable. and its nice to see im not the only one that still has a 2 stroke lol.

[allen123]

haha not many people still have them

[clemson71guy]

ok i got the main fuel line and the return line figured out i just need to get fittings for the fuel pump
in the cab


This is them coming out of the cab and the rubber line connects them

then they run up the frame to the fuel pump and thats it i think
the only part that still has me confused is this

i know there vapor lines but what do they hook up to?

[clemson71guy]

got the hood latch and the rear bumper brackets sandblasted, primered and painted today. i think they turned out pretty good.

also im thinking about buying these seats, scence the seats i got for free are pretty much crap.


what do yall think about them?

[LuckyHenriksen]

Seats are badass man
