Starting my first build 69 SWB

Thanks for the compliment on the wheels.
no i didnt title it any different, unfortunately i have been sidetracked with work. I am seperating from the Army and opening a gym so money nad time are both taken for other projects right now. but all i plan on doing right away is getting the rokers replaced and getting the electrical gremlin completely worked out. I got a awesome seat from a mid 90's SUB in great shape, havent mocked it up yet but think it will turn out great!

I wish i could knock it out a lot quicker to keep everyone, including me, interested.

Hope all goes well and your gym works out for you.

Can't wait to see your pictures of the seat getting mocked up when you have time.

Man it's Ben a while. I had a lot of lofty ideas for the truck and then the Army gave me a new timeline. I'm home and ready to start some work on the truck now. starting the 19th I will start with the help of a friend, maybe in this order:
1 rebuild inner/outer rockers
2 fill trim and antena holes
3 dis assemble front clip, clean firewall, engine, inner fenders, underside of hood
4 re assemble front clip
By then I'm sure I will have a new list of goals. Now that my gym is up and running right accros the street from a classic car shop, I'm always motivated to make some progress.

If anyone has any tips for the projects I'm planning I would love to hear them, I have watched a ton of how tos on the rocker and I'm still not comfortable, but I'm confident. The hole smoothing shouldn't be a big deal for me, and the under hood clean up, I'm guessing degreaser and a power washer will be my friends. Will probably try to redress my engine at that time, with a repaint, and new valve cover/breather combo. Replace all the lines and what not. So here's hoping I don't get another wrench thrown in my works.
