Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Rarely does anyone post pics of themselves doing work on someone elses Build Thread. I talked to Jonathan and because I had a "homework assignment" I'm posting some pics. As told before we had to scavenge the front brakes/spindles off a frame Jonathan had. Not wanting Jonathan to catch a spring in the chest while taking these parts off I volunteered to take it to work, torch the springs and disassemble the crossmember. Funny how a group gathers when something rusty comes in
 The forklift was commandeered and a small group gathered around so I stood back and took a pic. Thats me pulling cotter pins in preperation to blow this thing apart. Now to get this stuff back across town and continue with the truck!

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Thanks Nick! It's great to be able to make progress without lifting a finger
 ....although getting that thing out and into your truck was like work  I find it funny how some old, crusty parts can draw a crowd

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
I agree making progress without lifting a finger is an amazing feeling I can't wait to use my shop every so often but I havent had to just yet so guess that'll wait
on a side note I like the random mountain bike hanging in middair in the second pic

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
lmao! I guess I just find the uncommone things more entertaining to the mind
I do like the nice forklift much newer than our two. the pallet table is ingenious everything is better at a bench height

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Its always nice to get a helping hand on restoring the front suspension since its a job and a half.
Its going to look really nice once its painted and reinstalled, im looking forward to pictures. Have you fired up the engine yet? |

Jonathan, so does this make Nick your first employee?
You both are making good progress. Keep it up!

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Gotta be a cool boss to let 5 guys offload the front end off an old pickup
 Let them BMW owners wait their turn dad gumit. What, $80/hr labor rates? I speak from experience.. Lol. 07, E90 6 speed, Sport Premium, Cold Weather, Sp Graphite / Dakota. Worst thing I have ever bought. I lost my BUTT on that car.

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
I wouldn't say employee, more like Technical Advisor, Stylin' Consultant and a buddy lookin to help out a friend with common interests.
You can ask the guys who attended the Get Together, I have a cool boss. Being British, he is overjoyed with the old American Iron he didn't get to grow up with. As far as the caster mod goes...no, I didn't touch it. There is still some debate on the LCAs. No feedback yet but its been proven that it works.

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
I'm back and missed all the fun
I actually have cupped lowers for bags coming (at some point-should have been here alreadydelays) and will have nick....the resident alignment guru....see what he can do on alignment first before any major mods... And as mentioned....he's not an employee  . Just a good friend, a fellow truck nut, and a great mechanic.Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Wasn't giving you a hard time (or him) .. just sayin. It's not every day you'd see the front member of an old pickup truck on a lift in a BMW shop. That's all..

Got the front clip repairs sanded and the cups painted first coat. Painting black and red over then will attempt to match the rest of the patina. Sprayed the undercoating under the core support, splash guard, and inside the inners. Once that dries I'll paint it satin. It's far from perfect but neither is the truck. But it's solid now and once final painted I think it will look good. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Got my sway bar and brackets painted....drying rack is a pile of parts
Front clip is okay but I'm going to do another skim coat of filler on the fender cups because I'm not happy with them. Bare in mind the red will be scuffed back to dull and it's a very close match once I do that. Not perfect butbetter than just black or orange fluorescent paint with holes Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project#2 67-72 Restoration's Shop truck
Also picked up a toolbox for the bed today. Wanted a vintage cooler but when I placed a clist wtb ad I was offered this box. It's around an expensive box new and I got it for $75. It's got good patina too and will be able to be bolted down and locked. I will keep a small cooler in half for shows and spare parts and tools in the other side.

It's short enough where it won't be seen over the bedsides which is what I wanted...
