Good point, though I propose a 3rd option, for good, evil or hot rod/car building!

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
The weather in the UK has been wierd, it's been over 70 degrees, a record for February, we sometimes don't see 70 in June
![]() Because the petrol tank is now under the bed I need to blank off the filler hole, now I know the pre-cut panels are only $10 but by the time I pay postage and taxes it could cost be 3 times that to get it here in the UK. So time to be creative, A little trick when needing a curved panel it to do a pre-bend using a vice. I made a template by covering the hole with masking tape and tracing around the hole with a pencil I then stuck that onto the pre-bent steel and cut out the shape, it doesn't have to be perfect. And then welding it into the truck, I'll hopefully get it prepped and painted at the same time as the door check and the rear of the cab.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Looking good Ian. Door looks good. I managed to damaged the paint on one of mine yesterday. I have to open it over a wall and I didn't take into account my bulk inside when I was wiring. Door dropped just enough to hit the wall, so Ive some painting to do.
Gas filler repairs look good. Good tip on bending it first. Wish Id done that. I welded it in the top first then bent it into shape in place once it was hot. |

Thank you Vince

Thanks Bill Quote:
And speaking of small steps, I have the door check and cab back panel to paint before I reassemble the cab. While sanding I discovered some bondo.... you know what comes next, a hole ![]() It wasn't actually as bad a the passenger side was so was a relatively quick repair, the usual cardboard template transferred to steel and welded in place. I got it and the fuel filler into primer

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
A very quick update, I got the drivers door back on, it fits well. After the repairs it had thats always a relief. I painted the pillar and the rear of the cab too it’s funny but with the doors back on it feel like I’m moving in the right direction again

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
I try to keep my "non-truck" posts to a minimum but thought I would share these pictures.
I was lucky enough to be in Washington DC for Easter, I'll be the first to admit I don't go to church as often as I should but go Easter and Christmas for definite, so we had wondered what we would do this year. In England the Easter Sunday services tend to be late morning or early evening, however, we discovered that the Capitol Church were holding a sunrise service on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial starting at 06:30 and have done it every year for the past 41 years. Sharing the sermon and listening to the choir (with a couple of thousand very friendly strangers) while watching the sunrise was a experience I will remember for the rest of my life, it was truly moving and by the time we sang amazing grace there wasn’t a dry eye amongst the many thousand there. I’ve posted a few pictures below

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
Thank you for posting up Washington report Ian.
That has to be quite an experience And to immerse yourself fully, including the emotions will make a mark on your heart to both enjoy and be proud of in future.

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
I can't believe it's more than a year and a half since I last updated my build thread. Work has been progressing slowly and lockdown has created a bit of time but here in the UK not good availability of parts. So the last time a posted the truck looked pretty much like this.
Brakes are now complete, rears rebuilt And fronts 'blinged up' a bit The bedsides had the usual rot where the wood meets the metal, I couldn't decide if I should repair or replace but the times scales for delivery of bedsides to the UK were so long that made my mind up for me, repair it was

Re: Ian's Tennessee Honey '64 Short Box Step-side - England
It was very much the same story with the tailgate, I removed the rot from the lower sections
and split a piece of 1 ¾ " tube to repair the top and bottom and gave it a quick coat of paint
