Re: My Daughters First Truck
Not only did Darrah get a deal on the doors the gentelman that sold them to us is hooking her up with some body work on them for real cheap.
Here are some pictures of the work on the bottoms of the doors.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
when you go to mount the 5 x 7 mirrors, check them before final install, if you do not keep an eye on the angle of the tall arm the wing vent will not open with the mirrors laid flat 7" on the horizontal. (do not ask how i found this out)

Re: My Daughters First Truck
David, is the second pic right before filler? If so I still see holes in it. Moisture will find it's way into the repair.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
The truck is looking great. Are you going to reuse the trim from the doors?

Re: My Daughters First Truck
David, man that's so cool reading your daughters build thread. It just made my day full of grins... My daughters get excited when I work on my build. One day I hope my girls feel the same way as your daughter when they get to that point of time for a truck..hope fully 60s truck. Here is a pic of my 2 favorite truck helpers..

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Darrah was so excited today when she got home from school. She called me and said "My Fender Is Here" Thanks Kevin.
Fender and handles came from KEVINC from Texas. Check out what he has to sell in the for sale forum.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
I suggest getting a paint pen to fill in the letters on the now black grill... or ya could just tape 'em off.
Looking good... young folks that like to wrench on things learn a lot about what they can and can not do. They also learn to 'think', which will always come in handy. -W |
