Free Candy Inside · 04-16-2015, 07:26 AM

Went on another drive. Still working some bugs out of it. Having issues with the new battery that I just bought in the fall. Ordered an expensive tool to help out with some of the floors. More to come on that later.

Free Candy Inside · 04-16-2015, 07:27 AM

Another shot. Hood isn't full installed.

Free Candy Inside · 04-16-2015, 07:28 AM

Tucked away in the garage. Tight quarters with all the other junk I have in there.

66PANEL · 04-20-2015, 02:05 PM

Look's like your coming along, and it looks good to( except for your leg, it don't look so good!).... anyway so do you think you'll make Beatersville? Mines going to be down to the wire, but I will definitely be there!

Nice to see it back on the road. Bet the drive with no floorboards was fun!!

gostranger · 04-21-2015, 06:03 AM

that is awesome!!!!

JamieGallien · 04-21-2015, 09:07 AM

Cool truck. Doing the "Fred Flintstone" drive is a right of password for owning these trucks I think...

Free Candy Inside · 04-21-2015, 11:40 AM

Thanks everyone. My big gift to myself will be here tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

Free Candy Inside · 04-22-2015, 10:22 PM

Since I sold my 52 Packard and over doubled my $ on it I decided to go full I'm on the panel truck build and bought me a new toy. Went with a 36" with industrial motor and adjustable shaft

Free Candy Inside · 04-22-2015, 10:28 PM

Decided to skimp on a stand so I dug out this old engine hoist I bought probably 10 years ago and never bought a bottle jack for it to make it work.

Free Candy Inside · 04-22-2015, 10:30 PM

Cut up the hoist and made a stand. Need to paint it.

drtydog · 04-28-2015, 04:15 PM

Stranger candy always tastes better! What kind of firewall sections? Like a skin to go over the factory one or a complete replacement? I bought a large enough machine to be able to do things like that once I learn it better.

Free Candy Inside · 04-29-2015, 09:44 PM

Got busy today on correcting some previous mistakes. Think I got them sorted. Started on the passenger side floors. Decided to be conservative with the bead roller for these two panels. Plan on doing more on the other parts of the floor.

MY HERO!!!! I'm thinking about getting some matching Ohio ones!

AJCK87 · 05-01-2015, 10:45 AM

Looking good man! Good job on the floors, that bead roller will make me tough.

Free Candy Inside · 05-02-2015, 07:14 PM

Cut the **** out of the factory hinges and got them to clear the tires. Going to brace them up more and probably add some gas assist lifts to it to limit the travel and hopefully keep the hood up. Big relief that they fit cause I got $400 estimate from Porterbuilt for their hood hinges + 4 other hood plates since I will have 3 hoods soon (gmc apache, Chevy apache, and factory). I was going to order them but unlike most on this forum, I'm not very impressed with their stuff. Another local member on here spent thousands on their front end and nothing fit. It all looks amazing but all had to be modified to actually work.

Free Candy Inside · 05-03-2015, 05:15 PM

Went road tripping with my gf today for some parts

Free Candy Inside · 05-03-2015, 05:17 PM

Picked up some 8' bedsides, some extra bedside pieces, some smaller stuff, and an aluminum 63 grill for $200. Should have enough lower bedsides to fix the body on my panel truck now. Only 3 weeks till the show I'm trying to make it to. Crunch time.
