Nice to see you posting again. The work is looking great. Are you going to try to get it in paint this year?

Thanks Bill,,it feels good to see some more progress. . . Hey Dan,,, it's been a while my friend! I'm pretty happy with how it's all turning out. . Quote:
Yeah,, after using 80 pounds of nickel blasting media on the inside of one fender,, I decided it might be better to just go with new. Even after the rust repair in the lower corners and the media blast,, I could still see where the rust in the seams would probably start to grow and be a problem later on. The media blast also left the panel a little thin in places. Your build is looking pretty good!! . Quote:
Thanks Ryan!! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with all of your mad exploits,,, I'll check out what you've been up to pretty soon.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
So I've been working on getting my seats in so I have an idea on how big to make my center console. The Yukon floor turns out to be very flimsy and thin feeling. To solve this problem,, GM installed some removable cross braces,, which are also kinda flimsy and awkward to build a center console off from.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
So I built my own cross braces out of eighth inch flat bar.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
I made them non removable (welded directly to the floor). And then started work on my seat bases.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Just read your build. Wow good to see your still plugging away on your truck after everything you went through a few years ago, a lot of people have to sell or loose interest in there project after all that. Interesting idea using more than just the chassis.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Don't knock me too much on this one,,, the seats are from a 96 Mitsubishi Mirage. They seem pretty comfortable and they seem to fit the truck pretty well. They do move forward and back and the backs tilt forward and back. The Yukon seat backs just seamed a little too thick at the back,, which reduces the space between me and the steering wheel. I need all the room I can get. Using the floor and firewall from the Yukon gave me an extra inch between the back of the cab and the steering wheel and it gave me a couple more inches of leg room.

Great progress Wade. Nice to see you have a place to work on it again.
Sorry I haven't been around much. Life has gotten in the way again.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Those seats look nice. Great work on the frame work. Are you planning on keeping the head rests on there? Lots of people don't like the head rests on my seats. But, they've saved my head from hitting the back window a couple of times, and they are comfy on a longer trip.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Here is just a little reminder of what I kinda want my interior to look like. Maybe not so "show Quality" but the general shape of the dash and center console. Plus I'll be using the Yukon instrument cluster.

If you want to build a dash like that, I have some mid year corvette dash pads I will send you so you can make some fiberglass ones, or use them as templates. I used them as molds when I built one for my 68 Vette.

Wow Ryan,, Thanks for offering that! I might just take you up on that. It will be a couple more weeks before the weather here is warm enough to start to do fiberglass. I will definitely keep that in mind.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Ok,, no super cool progress last week,,, spent most of the time getting rid of a bunch of wiring that I won't need (I hope!!). I'm pretty sure I won't need rear a/c, or On Star, or air bags, or power sunroof, ect. ect ect! Probably should have done this a long time ago!

Think of the performance gains from the weight of the wire you chopped out
