Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I was looking at *****in products and noticed they have two floor kits, one stock and the other for their firewall kit. Which one did you use? That dash is exactly what I have wanted to install in my truck and had almost given up on the idea until I saw yours. I've got to have one. Don

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Ok lets cut this top off!!!! Put up tape to mark initial cut lines for removing top, at this point I have cut about 3/4 way around the body.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here I've cut the extra material off at the rear top body line. You can see the inner and outer skins.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I moved around on this build alot to kind of keep things moving and not have to wait for parts, etc. So I stopped on the top at this point and moved on. Later I will go back and chop the windshield. Next job was to get a gas tank built. I came up with a design I wanted, made a cardboard copy to check everything, then I made a drawing and sent that to Rock Valley in Illinois to build. It will be a 20 gal. stainless steel tank.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Forget to mention that I had removed the original crossmember at the rear of the frame and installed two new 2" X 3" rectangular tubes. I welded in the two tubes before removing the old crossmember.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
On with todays upload
Tilt column from a 79 Chevy Caprice that I picked up at a salvage yard. I wanted the dimmer switch on the column, this time.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
The day my crate engine came in. Engine came from Jon Barrett in Oklahoma. It was called their Challenger engine. 320 HP is a 350 bored 30 over, blue printed, balanced, ported, polished, 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, etc. It had been run on the dyno and was ready to go. (This was my first time buying an engine. Normally do my own. I am very pleased with the performance and everything about this engine.)

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here I have dropped the engine, trans in place. Put the radiator (Walker Z Cool mate series with their 17" 6 blade fan and shroud) in place. Start setting up the mounts. Headers are HPC (High Performance Coating) in Oklahoma City (very nice product and great service).

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey guys, I know it's Easter weekend and that is family time to many. Thought I would post up a few today, tomorrow I may not get a chance.
At this point I'm about 7 months into my build. I have reinstalled everything on the frame, put the body back on for further mock-up. Here I have the inner fender panels, radiator, front bumper, etc. mounted.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I had received my new seat from Tea's, had to install and see how it looked. Fit just the way I was hoping, back of seats even with the back of cab.
