Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
What an entertaining build! I read the entire thread last night after stumbling upon it from another forum - I feel a little tired right now, but I couldn't stop myself. I had to register just to say this - which worked out fine as I was looking for a good Chevy truck forum anyways. Love how the entire family is involved in cars, etc. Looks to me that you have a mighty fine life. I'm sure you've earned it. Great work and I just subscribed, Maestro!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Wow Drew, from one big project to a bigger one. You have a lot of energy. Like the energizer bunny. Great job on both btw.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Yes.
The rear brackets are made and bumper is on along with the trailer hitch. I still need to add angled bumper brackets to beef it up even more, but no time now. Notice how the previous owner made a space for his trailer lights plug. Quality work there buddy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I also had time tonight to start the rear door quarter windows. I'll mock it up and make a cardboard template and get the glass made. I tweaked the angle as much as I could, but couldn't quite get it parallel to the rear of the door frame.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Nice, Drew. Somehow, I think you will find a way to perfect them. You always seem to work 'the magic!'

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Couldn't you just use a floor jack and under the A-arm and jack it up a bit?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Antique car plates installed!
I used a flip down tag holder so I could access the receiver hitch. I'll probably leave the receiver in at all times which will be my version of red light camera "photo blocker".

A way you could do it would be to have them as one piece FIXED windows. As dumb as that sounds, it might be worth it. It sure would look good.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I was able to get the drivers side set up also. Here are my templates for the glass company.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
The cops up here didn't like it when I did that. You might be able to get away with it but it gives them a valid reason to pull you over.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Great work Drew! On my crew I'm going to try to put the fixed piece of glass in front instead of the back but we'll see.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Looks great!! Have you thought of making the back windows a one piece? You could easily create the illusion of having a split window as well!!
If there were a poll for truck of the year, You would have my vote! Remarkable work!!!! ![]()

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Started tackling the concealed dash panel mount. I need a piece of flat thick plexiglass and weld some studs to the back of this metal to mount it. I will probably cover this in leather.
