While I'm looking for my camera I thought I'd post some (old) pics of my nephew's work. These two brothers (Josh and Ryan Huffaker) have some mad skills when it comes to body work and painting. I plan on having them lay the paint on Tangerine.

Thanks FrankieD,,,Yeah they are a couple of crazy young guy's (in their 20's) but they've proven they have "the skills" !! Can't wait for them to paint Tangerine, guess I'd better get busy!

**fakerwade** · 04-27-2012, 06:28 PM

So I took a little time off to get all the "honey do's" and spring cleaning done and I went to Portland to the big swap meet. Felt good to re-connect to the world and I even got to meet some board members. Oh yeah, I also found my camera, so I'll be posting new pics soon. Thanks for your patience.

Nice Pontiac!! 71 or 72? LeMans or tempest? My dad just recently sold his 1070 Pontiac Tempest T-37. He had owned it for almost 30 years. He still has a 1970 Pontiac LeMans Sport Convertable!.

I believe it's a 72 Lemans Sport,, they each have one. The one that's not shown is in the process of being painted. Your dad's T-37 is a real sought after car, I think I would have kept it and sold the convertible, but that's just me.

I'm sure his convertible is cool too, my dad drives a 74 Eldorado convertible that I refer too as the "the aircraft carrier". It's just nice to see that old sheet metal driving around,,, these old cars sure stand out against all the "cookie cutter cars" these days.

More camera drama,,, after finding my camera I dropped it and it broke. I figured that must be a sign,,, it's time to buy a new camera! So R.I.P. old camera.

I kept some pieces from the rear section of the Yukon floor and used them to blend the floor to the back of the cab.

Thanks guys,,,the fun continues!!

**fakerwade** · 05-13-2012, 04:08 PM

While I've been working on tying up all the loose ends on the cab, I've also been working on my radiator core support. After wasting a whole lot of time cleaning up and trying to modify the 70 core support, I finally decided to build my own. The Yukon radiator was just too big to use the 70 core support. I''m not finished with it yet, here's what I've got so far.

Thanks FrankieD!! The shop is actually an import auto repair facility where I work, I fix Japanese and German cars. My boss is nice enough to let me work on the truck on my own time. Pretty cool boss!

Little closer,,, still got a long way to go!!!

**fakerwade** · 05-21-2012, 01:26 AM

I thought I'd let you guy's in on what fresh he11 I had to go through to put my rocker panels on. I know I've talked about this before on this thread and on MCBASSIN's thread,, it's nice that the aftermarket makes parts for these old trucks,, but it would be nicer if they actually fit. I bought these from Brothers Truck and I used the video's on "mobile hot rod repair .com" which were helpful,, but in order to get these rockers to correctly line up with the door, the front fender and the cab corner,, I had to "split" the rocker lengthwise. I know I'm not the only one who's had to do this , I've seen others on this site who had to do the same.
.
.

,
.
.
After I split the rocker panel I welded a piece of half inch flat bar to inside of the split.
.

**fakerwade** · 05-21-2012, 01:32 AM

After completely filling the split with weld, I did a bunch of grinding sanding an polishing to make them look normal again. I had to do this procedure on both sides.
.

What a lot of fun!!

67c10rustbuket · 05-24-2012, 06:34 AM

That Rad support is awesome! Of course you wouldnt be happy with "it doesn't fit" and put an old one in there. Why didn't I think of that

Probably because my skills are not as great as yours.
Them rockers suck!, seen it a few times but it seems I have been blessed by the taiwaneese rocker man. Mine seem to fit just fine but we will see the truth this weekend when I finally put them on with the welder instead of my mock up screws. Keep it up Buddy!

May be these trucks came in different sizes or the Chinese can't convert inches to millimeters.
