Hey Tigman, Did you buy a 68 cab off me. And is this the cab you got from me ?

Tigman · 02-28-2009, 08:55 PM

I did buy a cab from you. This is another one I had before. The one I bought from you is next for my son. I'll do it the same way I guess.

BarryB · 03-01-2009, 03:19 PM

Well I have to say you have some skills. This will be interesting to see finished.

You need to check out some of his other projects he has done at www.fabshopinc.com.

tvillebowtie · 03-01-2009, 10:46 PM

you got some mad skills!! but to be honest,i can't quit thinking about that sweet camaro in the background.got any pics of that ride.very nice work on the firewall.

BarryB · 03-02-2009, 01:24 AM

You built that camaro? Wow,
I remember seeing it in a Magazine? Can't rememebr which one.
Was it at Morgan Maclure?(spelling) in Meadowview, Va ? I remember telling myself i wanted to go see it in person because I like the stance and over all look of the car.

S3B3AST · 03-02-2009, 01:37 AM

Good luck with that. it sounds like it will be super sweet when your all done.

4x4toy · 03-02-2009, 09:18 AM

The blue piece of metal was a wheel barrow right? Awsome skills. I love to see this stuff.

Tigman · 03-02-2009, 10:23 AM

Yes it's a wheelbarrow. The Camaro was in several magazines years ago as well as Dream Car Garage. Here are a few pics! Thanks for the comments!

BarryB · 03-02-2009, 08:52 PM

Awesome, So you know it now seems, I need to make a trip to big stone gap.

. Maybe you can show me a thing or two?

Tigman · 03-02-2009, 09:00 PM

Anytime or come up the shop in Pound!

Tigman · 03-07-2009, 08:26 PM

I got a Vintage Air unit to mock up with before I mount the windshield wiper motor. Had to play catch up on everything else this Saturday! Maybe Sunday afternoon I'll get on it.

Tigman · 03-14-2009, 03:55 PM

Wiper assembly installed!

Hammer57 · 03-14-2009, 05:41 PM

Outstanding work, bro! Was considering shaving mine and was wondering how to go about it.

Rokcrln · 03-14-2009, 06:51 PM

Look-n good! I plan on the same wipers set up for a welded cowl to cab I will be doing. By getting rid of the air intake are it sure gives you allot more room for electronics and heater/AC to be tucked up nice and tight. Are you leaving the vents in the cowl or are you going to shave them off as well? I also like how you have the tubes for the wiper arms pocking out of the cowl, for my set up I will shave the dished area below the wiper arm so their isn't a catch basin for the water then I will weld the tube to the cowl panel with just enough sticking out so the arm head won't hit the paint

PS I like your cab dolly!

Tigman · 03-14-2009, 09:46 PM

Yes Kevin I plan on shaving the cowl when I get there. I bought a set of plans from you, I changed it a little as you can see. It works great. I made some short jack stobs to insert into the bottom tubes to keep it from rolling around while working on it!

Tigman · 04-17-2009, 09:13 PM

Got the mock up Vintage Air box, so I hope to get it mounted up this weekend. Pics will follow.'

lclippard · 04-17-2009, 10:01 PM

Tigman · 10-11-2009, 08:57 PM
