Jared, I can't say enough about your panel, you as a member, and your craftsmanship.... they are all awesome!!!!

Guy's this panel is about as nice as you will find in the rust belt, and with the plans Jared has in store, it's only going to get better.

Awesome work Jared, you should definitely be proud.

kyull67 · 09-21-2009, 03:44 PM

Definetly a sweet panel, but I really like your welding cart!

LOW DOUGH · 09-22-2009, 05:06 PM

Sweet! Awesome! Glad you made your goal!

Skirkpat · 09-22-2009, 05:47 PM

I was lucky enough to catcth it in person, Great truck, an even better owner. Looked wicked!!!

GRIMSS · 10-23-2009, 11:02 PM

In preparation of the one piece windows that blackdiesel is going to show everyone his technique I started the teardown. I hate old rusty clutch head screws. Got one door ready and the other one will need some parts robbed from one of the junk doors. Found a coin in one of the doors that’s kind of funny. Also got a regulator rebuild kit, didn’t like it so ended up only cleaning the original up. The rebuild kit’s holes were different and looked like the shaft would be wobbly.

My Grandpa had a heads or tails coin just like that. I remember me & my cousin finding it when we were kids in his tool box, Grandma got mad at him because we found it, we wre like 7 - 8 years old at the time.

Bigblue29 · 10-27-2009, 10:10 AM

Well I have my door stripped down. The regulator rollers are on backorder. Still need to work over one of them.

blackdiesel is about 4hrs away so once we get all the parts I'm headed down there to do them on a Sat. Hope for next month sometime.

72BlckButy · 10-27-2009, 08:25 PM

Not much on hood ornaments, but that coin is just asking for it. "Tails" to the front....

Nice work on the doors Jared. The one piece windows will look killer on the panel.

wyomech · 10-29-2009, 01:03 AM

nice build just curious you said you might use a ls motor, have you measured or mocked one up ,my lq9 with edelbrock headers just barely fit between the stock frame width

I have not mocked anything up yet, but plans are to raise the motor up. May run the exhaust down the outside of the frame.

GRIMSS · 11-08-2009, 11:09 AM

I now have one piece windows thanks to the blackdiesel (Brian) and his dad. Here is most of the how to, but blackdiesel's vid will tell more.

great build

GRIMSS · 11-08-2009, 08:17 PM

Here it is finished until I do body work.

OrrieG · 11-08-2009, 09:03 PM

That looks nice, I think there may be some in my trucks future. What is the exact measurement of the offset mounting points on the front vertical bracket? Thanks.

I don't remember, but it is on the vid. I do remember we first did the rear track and then placed the the glass on the door to tell us where we needed to place the front one.

tcb-1 · 11-08-2009, 10:01 PM

looking good, Jared!!!

when you having a night trap shoot again? I need to get down there and see your progress!!!!!

you need to incorporate the coin into your build. light knob, steering wheel center, dash inlay, something!

Your on my list to call when we have another. Problem is the guy who owns all the stuff had to change jobs and is now stuck in middle of KS for about 3 years. Hope he can get down and do it next spring.

Man I carry that coin in my wallet now.

Anytime you want to come down.

Bigblue29 · 11-09-2009, 10:27 AM

That looks very clean!

72BlckButy · 11-09-2009, 03:15 PM

Jared, don't forget my name on that list.

Love the one piece windows, that will really finish off the look of the panel.

You were already on that list.

72BlckButy · 11-10-2009, 09:08 AM

What's next on the panel? Or what have you been working on we're not aware of?

GRIMSS · 11-10-2009, 09:16 AM

I've got to save up and find me a motor to get mocked up and then steering figured out. So nothing new other than the doors.
