No I think I will just finish the 4th door and sell it as is. I have just way too many irons in the fire and my wife really really wants me to get things in the direction of me going full time with this so that means getting a few high end projects done for show pieces as well as a couple of street rod type builds for more advertising. So the burb will go and maybe even the crew cab that right now is just a good standard cab with suicide doors on it. I have a few small things to finish up on LowBuck, get our son's 51 F1 on the road with a full built chassis but a old barn find look to the body. Then their is her 63 GMC SWB (drop member, 20/22's, 5.3L/AOD bagged and a killer paint job on an arrow striate body) to get started on as well as my 2WD Blazer build.
Then throw on a hand full of customer builds that are currently on the books and I think I have a rather full plate. Sorry to rant on but I am board and wired from all the med's

Thanks Jamison. How's the CG going? Any progress on the truck(s)? You don't have a good 68 hood do you?

Sorry this is one I owed Rob from awhile back and finally got around to complete it. If someone were to pay out right it would be upwards of $600 with a cowl, labor and over sized shipping!

I have been in Spain for the last 2 months learning to fly the new HC-144. I have made little to no progress on the truck. We are trying to sell our house and that took most of my time prior to leaving. I did put on rear disc brakes and a CPP master cylinder. I have 2 67/68 hoods, both are dented in the front. I am pretty sure I am only going to need one of them, get ahold of me when you get back into town.

Kevin, thanx for the reply. I can mess a few of the ones I have up for $600. Did you cut out the vent or just weld the patch over the top of it?

[Rokcrln]

I tacked the filler piece over it then flipped it over and cut out the main vent, did some hammer work, re-installed and finished welding, Hamer and dolly some more and ground it down. Take your time as this mod is one of the hardest to do and the easiest to really screw up. With the cowl being so flat and flimsy it WILL buckle and twist real quick. The trick is knowing how to get it back into to shape after it goes nuts and still fit right.

Victory Red. I can get you the paint code if you need it.

[67_C-30]

Can't wait to see it.

I was just wondering if was a factory color because it looks similiar to the red on my '69. Mine was repainted, and I do not know what exact color it is.

[Hart_Rod]

I'm pretty certain it is a factory color. I'm using the same paint scheme and colors that are on the ECE Truck:

Finally fixed the ART lower shock mounts (they finally changed the design). What a pain, I had about an hour of cutting and grinding in each one...... Oh, well they are fixed now and rollin' low shouldn't be a hazzard, .

[Hart_Rod]

I also got the oil pan figured out too. I tried the F-body pan, but it was about a 1/2" to long back to front. Soooooo, after a little more research, I got the Cadillac CSTv pan. It fits like a it was made to go there. It's 3/4" above the crossmember and I should never have to worry about hanging it on anything, . Here are a couple of pictures and a link to a discussion on the different pans.
