Today, Dad started tackling the rear control arms...

...while I prepped the A-pillars and brow for final primer/paint.

racecougar · 11-23-2014, 04:13 PM

There is still quite a bit to do on the cab, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Hoping to have the cab back on the frame before long.

Ta2Don · 11-23-2014, 04:30 PM

Great Progress!!!

and the best QC around, Dad!!!

racecougar · 11-24-2014, 09:48 PM

Thanks, Don.

All seam sealed and ready for the final coat of primer. Dad also pressed the bushings out of the rear control arms and picked up the steel we'll need to box them today.

racecougar · 11-25-2014, 10:24 PM

All the new lighting in the shop has made a world of difference when it comes to laying down nice flat coats.

The plan is to get back to it Thursday morning.

racecougar · 11-27-2014, 02:08 PM

Paint it black!

TJ's Chevy · 11-27-2014, 04:34 PM

Looking good!

Mjminino · 11-27-2014, 11:26 PM

Love the way everything is coming together. I just ordered my LMC rockers and cab corners. I hope they turn out okay!

racecougar · 11-29-2014, 08:07 PM

Finished up the A-pillars and brow today.

racecougar · 11-30-2014, 07:57 PM

Reunited! We bolted the cab back onto the frame this morning.

Ta2Don · 11-30-2014, 07:58 PM

Very Nice!!!

bj383ss · 12-01-2014, 08:42 AM

Looking real good! Can't wait to mate mine back together.

racecougar · 12-06-2014, 04:12 PM

We installed the front crossmember this morning. Once the new balljoints arrive, we'll install the control arms.

Dad cleaned up the trailing arms, then I stitch-welded them up while he cut the steel we'll use to box them.

Coated in zinc (weld thru) for rust protection.

Ta2Don · 12-06-2014, 08:50 PM

You'll be on the road in no time now!!!

racecougar · 12-07-2014, 05:42 PM

We were supposed to go look at a built, but wrecked, LS1 Vette this morning, but that deal may have fallen through. Instead, we spent the day making sparks in the shop. Both trailing arms are now plated top and bottom.

racecougar · 12-12-2014, 08:05 PM

I'll be a little busy this weekend (getting hitched tomorrow

), but here is a sneak peek of things to come.

Bomp · 12-12-2014, 09:35 PM

Hey, Congrats on the weddin'
Wilwood brake stuff looks good too.

Ta2Don · 12-13-2014, 11:25 AM

Congrats and God Bless the union!!!

Wilwood parts...

Mikes66ChevyC10 · 12-13-2014, 12:23 PM

So I've gone through all 11 pages of your build thread and I have to say AWESOME JOB!! Great inspiration! Can't wait to see my 66 going back together. Can't wait to see yours come together. Subscribed!!

racecougar · 12-15-2014, 08:39 PM

Thanks guys! We don't have any of the professional pictures yet, but here are a few cell phone shots from Saturday. Best day of my life!

I'll get back to work on the '65 here in a couple of weeks.

Mjminino · 12-15-2014, 08:43 PM

Congratulations!

CRGRS 66 · 12-15-2014, 09:29 PM

Congratulations!!! What, you're not spending your honeymoon in garage?

Lol. Half of it actually. We'll spend the other half in Punta Cana.
