This truck has been a blast to watch come together! The simple things like the hood struts are my favorite parts

Like I said it was a blast! And it drives so good on a side note, and I'm blown away at how great it rides

[jdoisher]

Some detail shots. The new carb put on last night.

Her hand painted emblems.

Button head bed bolts.

Some old horn I had laying around.

Her hand painted sail panels.

Got the inspection sticker last night, got to get some 66 plates and regusation done, than finish up the doors!! Than its hers!!
Her list of things to do is A/C and heat, power steering, recover the seat, rubber mat, radio, and a few other small things along the way. The caps are staying! Stuff to make it more comfortable for her to drive and enjoy!
Jason and Maggie.
Hope to see a few of you this Saturday!

Nice job on the hand painting. Sounds like a great list of other things to do as well. Some of those are on my "to-do" list as well. If it's a driver, gotta make it comfortable!

Definitely got me motivated. Getting ready to finally work on mine that's been sitting for the last two years! Hoping to come to the show as long as the kids are on good behavior

[jdoisher]

Took her truck yesterday to get the massive door dents popped out (from having broken door stops) got it back today. The last of her parts showed up today so John and I are going to try and get the doors finished up tonight!! Stay tuned!!

Wow truck is looking great!!!nice progress and details you and Maggie are adding. I'm happy to see you guys driving this baby around! How does it ride???
Also I hate to be a pain but could you please take some measurement for me...
Driveshaft, rear shock length, and a couple of pics of your shifter linkage please. Thank you in advance. I've been checking things off my list to reach my goal of being able to drive this thing in the spring..... Might take a couple steps back this winter to do a couple things I'd like to do....jam the doors clean up firewall ect. Thanks for the motivation can't wait to drive my truck too. By the way we need a video of her running!!!

[jdoisher]

I'll get that info for you this weekend!

We worked on the truck until 3:00 this morning, came to work at 7. I'm a little tired. We got the doors 98.9% done. Need some nutserts to intall the door panels as a few of them are missing. John had a used under dash A/C, heat unit. He installed it so she could have heat this winter. It works like a champ!!! When he gets going there is no stopping him.
Jason
I didn't take a single pic of said work.

You need the nutserts and door panel screws, and do you have a source for them?
If not shoot me a PM with how many you need for both doors, and a good snailmail address; I have a spare door I used for parts I can pull them off for you.

As far as the crusty Nova I watched the build on Yellowbullet, love the car!!! Thursday night on the truck late!! Friday night drove out to Winstar for the Bellator fights, got home late, worked on the truck, got up early, worked on the truck, did the show all day, drive to the races, work on the truck Sunday, than watch the Saints destory the cowboys!! Could not have been a better weekend!! (I'm from a small town near New Orleans) Pics coming!!

nice truck and one of my favorites. the look on her face is worth $100000000 dollars. but it would look really better if she was in the drivers seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jdoisher]

Thanks for the offer McMurphy, but I wanted it fixed before the show, so I installed rivnuts, worked perfect!!


Door panels, and door glass, all new rubber!!


Used A/C, heat underdash unit from John, works like a champ. I'll get the A/C up and running next year!!

More pics comming!

[jdoisher]

So the brake rod was dragging on the brake pedal, fixed it, made the drive to the gas station.

I come out of the store and this is what shes doing!!

Someone asked for Maggie in the driver seat!!

Looks like a pro, waiting in line to get in!!

A few of the cars in the crew we rode in with!

She later said one of the best parts was driving in and driving out of the show!!!
More to come!!

[jdoisher]

The show pics!!


Our line up!

Not much to clean, but she cleaned all that she could!!

This is what I've been doing this for!!

We met a bunch of people from the board!! The truck got a great response!!

Cool pics, & glad ya'll had a great time at the show. The truck looks great! The lack of necessity to clean is something I often wish was the case with my rides, lol.

and I agree with Maggie; that feeling when rolling into/out of a show is one of the best parts

[Fishbone]

Love the build. I'm a nut over the 64 to 66 trucks done this way as I have completed 2 of them and sold both. I also think its great that both of you are equally involved in the project. Please keep us updated and good luck !

We spoke about offers before the truck was done. I told her that she would get a few, so put a price tag on it, she said not for sale, she turned down a really fair offer Saturday.
