looks like we share the same problem- "It followed me home" syndrome!

Alan's Classic · 10-15-2007, 11:58 PM

I have finally moved in just a few minor details to do, but I am ready to do some restoring.

SIR · 12-21-2008, 02:52 PM

...It looks like it has what they call the "sport cab option" with a large rear window....this option was very spendy back in the day,today it's rare.don't let this one go,see if it is a matching numbers truck you could be sitting on more than you know.

Alan's Classic · 09-26-2007, 08:36 PM

I got my CO today. That means I can move into the shop. I can't fully move in yet. I need to get the sheetrock up on the ceiling before I get all my stuff in there. I should get my power meter set tomorrow. Maybe I can start working on the trucks soon. It has taken almost 4 months to get to this point. It has been well worth it.

RojoLoco · 09-26-2007, 09:43 PM

Looking very nice.

sdailey · 09-27-2007, 08:34 AM

Looks good Alan. So when do I move in? I can only assume that the right bay is for my '69 right.

L0WRIDE · 09-27-2007, 04:39 PM

very nice

It could be. The problem is I already see limited space once I get all of my crap in there.

Iron-Butt · 09-28-2007, 03:24 PM

Nice start on the truck and a great garage.

SkylineNXS · 10-16-2007, 12:31 AM

It seems as if u may be missing a few sheets of sheetrock...lol...very nice garage, i would love to have one that size, and very nice trucks, the 55 is sweet, as is the clean frame of the 65, nice job, keep it goin...

Alan's Classic · 10-16-2007, 08:02 PM

I wish I could of finished the shet rock. I left it open for water and cable and maybe another door in the future. Plans might change once I start working in it.

Today is the first day I could really do anything, I didn't have much time, but I did get the cab braced up so i can cut the floor etc.

Let me know if you think it is braced up enough.

David Flores · 10-16-2007, 08:45 PM

Shop looks nice!
Good luck with the rust repair. I just finished mine about a month ago. It is well worth it in the end when you have no rust.

Alan's Classic · 10-18-2007, 08:01 PM

Making some progress today

Alan's Classic · 10-20-2007, 11:03 PM

Hung door and fender for first time. The gaps need a little work but not bad for first fit. The floor and floor support are just tacked in place. I still have inner kick, A post and inner and outer rocker.

Stepside65 · 10-20-2007, 11:21 PM

Lookin good Alan.

Dadsredwagon · 10-21-2007, 12:10 PM

Great job on the rig and the shop. It appears you are building an entire cab from scratch. Nice work and please keep the pictures coming.

I had bids for a dried in turn key with no mechanics for about 28K. I contracted it myself and saved about 10K

I would cover up the insulation with something just screwed on that you can remove later, just so you are not breathing that stuff all the time.. I like the shop too.

I thought about doing that or putting plastic over it. I don't get alot of time so the time I do get is spent on cars. I've been workiing on the 55 and now I'm trying to get my Miata painted. I might post a before and after pic of the miata even if it's not a GM product, I know how ya'll like pics.
