You just passed the 3000th post mark... Woohoo!

drewskiren · 03-18-2012, 11:02 PM

And 382,000 views!

I'd like to think it's my writing, but I know it's just the crew cab.

Hey Drew, how are the clearance issues gonna be behind that gauge cluster?

Just throwin' it out there, what about using another glove box door, notching it to clear the steering column, and having a hidden cluster on the left side? you could make it removeable.

Remarkably it fits just fine on the glove box side. I just want it as backup and for the message center that tells me tons of info on whats going on with the truck. I really want to see the factory 1972 cluster for looks sake.

I am amazed at the quality of work you do, as well as how versatile you are with your skills, and how motivated you are! The quality of fabrication skills you have exibited are remarkable. It is a rare combination for someone to be as gifted as you are with paint/body, metal fabrication, mechanical skills, and carpentry to boot! I always thought I was a jack of all trades, but you put me to shame my friend. BTW: I love your truck too.

drewskiren · 03-25-2012, 12:55 AM

Thank you - Thank you very much. God has definitely blessed me with talents.

drewskiren · 03-25-2012, 01:00 AM

I am making a push to go to the Grand Rod Run in Pigeon Forge, TN in 3 weeks - April 14th. I won't have even started the interior, but I figure its still worth looking at. I'll need at least a week of driving it to make sure I'm comfortable with a 6 hour trip, so that means a lot of loose ends to tie up quickly. Does anyone think they could make it??? I'd be up for thanking my fans in person.

hotrodchevy1999 · 03-25-2012, 11:18 AM

Thats cool hope to see it there on that weekend and get to see it in person

drewskiren · 03-25-2012, 08:31 PM

My mirror company made up my laminated glass for me for $40. I used the factory window felt gasket and silicon-ed them also.

extd56 · 03-25-2012, 08:46 PM

Too bad you are not closer, I could bring my 4x4 crew cab and tell them that they were a pair that was factory made.

Super C10 · 03-25-2012, 09:33 PM

Drew love the build really helping me build mine but im wondering have you gave any thought to the inner roof panel are you gonna make the sheet metal like the pickup roof or you building a headliner to cover up the inner portion?

THAT would totally confuse the non-truck guys! By the way, my gramps had one just like that. Only it was red. And a Ford. And a rare 3 door..

treveiger · 03-25-2012, 10:52 PM

looks great!

mcbassin · 03-25-2012, 11:02 PM

Nice work on the glass Drew.

VA72C10 · 03-25-2012, 11:10 PM

Glass looks good! Should be more comfortable/quiet in the cab

YBNORML · 03-25-2012, 11:43 PM

Looking fantastic!!!

There's a fairly strong chance I will be there, and would really like to meet you and see your amazing truck. I'm in Eden NC now working, but theres a good chance the job will be wrapped up by then, and home is only like 50 miles from Pigeon Forge.

I will have an upholstery shop make me a bows type headliner and cover it all up.

I told myself I wouldn't do it, but I had to look back at page 1 to see the 'burb that you cut to bits and I winced ALOT but the result is worth it!

drewskiren · 03-26-2012, 11:47 PM

I've been able to clean up the wiring a little and mount both fuse panels.
I also had a talk with the upholstery guy for the headliner and I'll be ordering my material tomorrow.
