Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
That's one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
That truck is awsome and is very inspirational. I`ve wanted a 47-55 for a long time and when I find the right one I`m going to do it as low buck as possible. In my opinion I wouldn`t take it apart unless it`s a saftey issue. Drive it the way it isand enjoy your hard work. It`s perfect in my opinion.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I worked on my wiper system yesterday and it works great! I'll post pics shortly and show everyone how a Blazer rear hatch wiper motor works great! I designed the whole setup with simplicity in mind and keeping it easy to work on. I may offer to sell the brackets (2 and they would both be laser cut and pre-bent w/holes) if I can keep the price low enough. Anybody interested?

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Sorry to keep everyone in suspense with the 'Old Brown Truck', but I needed to finish up a few things on a 72 El Camino I did from the frame up for my dad. Only thing I didn't do was the seat upholstery, transmission and rear gears. Way too much work, but it'll be cool for the "world's oldest 15 year old"! (He's 70!) I have about a weeks worth of little things after work and I can get back on my truck. Thought you'd like to see this anyway

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
The whole rear suspension setup is from TCI (minus the blocks). They make a very nice lowered suspension deal!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Finished all the brake and fuel line plumbing! Mounted the rear shocks and brackets (shocks might be a bit too short that came with the kit, will have to wait 'till it's put together). The original E-brake stuff all works with the S-10 stuff, so that's pretty cool! I finally decided to throw the wheels on just so I could get a feel for it again and I'm waay happy!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Just in case anybody with a truck thinks theirs has no potential, this is what I started with in December! Pretty pathetic, huh?

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I wish I was that far along and had half your talent. I'm learning a lot in the process so maybe I'll get there someday!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I like the water you captured in mid air in the photo of the car It adds to the effect. And as far as potential goes.... All I have is a bunch of parts, i wish I could have one picture I could label as "before", ... instead a have a number of pictures of a couple of piles of junk that I have to glue together.
Your truck is lookin great keep posting PICS i love to see em.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I'm just finishing up a few things on the 'Camino and then I'm back to the truck! Here's an online mag that did a story on my dad's car. Here's the article http://www.stillrunnin.com/magazine/sr6/45-46 The mags' really cool! Brad

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I'm back! Sorry about the delay, but I'm back on track with "Project No Buck$" I delivered the 'Camino to Dad and now I can finish this thing up. The frame (about 2 hours before it went on the trailer) is at the sand blasters, getting cleaned of 50 odd years of crud. Hopefully this weekend I can paint it and start bolting pieces back on! I know I'm preaching CHEAP, but I'm also trying to do it nice at the same time. I repainted the dash brown and started striping it to make it match the mexican blanket upholstery I have about another 2 hours and it will be done and then on to other stuff. Everyone has been wondering about the wiper situation. Stay tuned for more info! Brad

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Wheels! I showed at the beginning that I used some cheap Halibrand/ET3 knockoff wheels I got on Ebay. I always loved the way ET3's looked, but didn't want to spend the money (way more) so I figured I'd fake it. I took the wheels over to a machinist friend of mine (after taking the tires back off) and told him I needed the wheels re-drilled for long shank 11/16" lug nuts instead of the tapered ones they come with. Notice the lug holes... Next I had another machinist friend make some 1/8" aluminum plates for the front and back. The front ones have a 1/2" smaller center hole to fig snugly around the brake rotor so they look a little cleaner notice the wheel on the right has the plate Now I just need to add some chrome wheel bearing caps and the fronts are done! The back ones speak for themselves!!! $100 to drill the wheels, $100 for the aluminum plates and $20 to polish all 4. They look cool and I'm still way cheaper than the big dollar wheels!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
You always impress me with how you manage to spend a few extra hours and minimal cash and turn out something that looks like a million bucks. I've preached for years that hours of detail work can quite often match or trump buckets of cash thrown at a project.
