Got my radiator in today very happen with the fitment. Mounted a brake booster on the firewall but decided I will probably replace that with a frame mounted unit to clean up the look of the firewall. Replaced the door pins and got the hinges all sorted out for the most part. Also got the other step and cab corner in today.

A bit off topic but got my dads motor almost done for his model a.

Is it bad that I'd rather have that gen 2 camaro in the background more than most trucks?

bowt1ed · 02-13-2015, 11:48 AM

Worked on an updated ventilation system, not to mention Fred Flintstone brakes, for my cab!

OrrieG · 02-13-2015, 01:22 PM

Also good for real time engine, steering and brake system monitoring. No need to mess with pesky heater cores either. AC can be a problem however....

*itstheshu* · 02-13-2015, 08:57 PM

Finished my c notch. Now I need to fab up shock mounts.

la hi · 02-13-2015, 09:46 PM

Complete tear down of the 49, cab is off all panels ready to sand and primer. Waiting for a good S10 to pick up to start the build. Motor on stand and ready for rebuild.

iowaboynca · 02-16-2015, 03:30 PM

Happy President's Day! Hopefully you get the time to get something done. Me, I cleaned out the garage and will start looking at building an engine stand for when i yank my 235.
