Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
great work on the radiator support! I ended up buying some 1.5" c channel and redid the whole thing, as mine looked a lil weak and thought it would break off or fall apart it I just did that same as you have done! the whole middle of mine was pitted and rusty, it was bad

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Patch panel and your welding looks good Don
Also welding up my aerial hole when I get to it. Got Nicolas PC uploading the last 150 photos while at work, so will update Steam and Traction show pics when I get time. Out of town two days this week. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=625828 Amazed that I took over 500 photos over the two days. Yesterday was just awesome. My favourite comment from a 5 year old in his dads arms, looking at my trucks rear was : "Daddyyyy.... Can I jump on the trampoline?" Got to love kids.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Today was slow in the progress dept… after a bit of organizing in my shed, I pulled the antenna, OK, cut away the antenna, and filled the hole...
The antenna was a cheap aftermarket rig that had rusted and made normal removal impossible, so I grabbed my trusty cut-off wheel and removed the stubborn thing... Here are a few pics… Antenna Hole Ready to weld with plug in place After grinding… need to skim coat some glaze coat then prime Teaser Pic with Emblem….

All the welding and patching is inspiring! That emblem looks fantastic, and will really draw attention when the truck is all back together!

Thanks Don. Will start removal of the old 6cyl this week and maybe if my schedules work out right I can have it sitting in there by next weekend.

Taking a rare Saturday off, it is 0645 and I find myself in Tahlequah OK to attend a car show and get-together of sorts… Looking forward to checking out Sigshooter's stomping grounds…
Here's a crappy cell phone pic taken from the room this a.m.
