I have been updated on the bathroom for some time, and I can only say.....
WOW !!! That came out lovely. Well done on the rocker work and getting Sally to help with the door.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
At the rate I'm going you'll soon catch up! The motivation is bring sucked right out of me right now.
The Vette's not helping as its pissing me off trying to get it registered and of course I decided to do a "little" to it which a always one thing has lead to another etc. That said the hood is coming along. Should get more of that done this weekend. Anyway keep up the good work and maybe one day we can all get together somewhere. Would be nice to d that to celebrate our 60th's or maybe 65th's!!!! |

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well today I had a choice go to a local car show , or get some truck time in . The reason for this , it was a Bank holiday over here in the U.K. So an extra days holiday off work for me .
Well the truck won , being a very warm and sunny day, it was time to get the rocker welded on .But first I needed to get my door gaps nice and tight . The Door gaps ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With the rocker all welded on ![]() ![]() So next will be to get it in primer , then start the other side .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Looking good Martin. Wish Id had the space to assemble it all like that before welding up. Would likely have saved me a load of time yet to come!

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Thanks Bill . Its great having the room , but unfortunately I don't have any room inside to work , now the cab is on the chassis. So any truck time is weather permitting .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
At least I did have space inside to work on the cab but I know what you mean about having to work outside once its on the chassis. I'm off come Friday for two weeks. My first task is to put a proper roof over that "carport" I built last year and then extend the roof of the garage over to meet it. At least that will keep the rain off.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Hi Ian, I bought 2 repop fenders and I have to say I'm not that impressed with them. Overall they are OK and I will get them to fit but there are wholes that have to be opened out and even some in the wrong places. And the front end inserts are not welded in correctly. I'm not going to bother drilling them out and rewilding, I'll live with it, because the metal is much thinner than the originals and I'll end up blowing holes in it and doing the bodywork I was trying to avoid by buying them in the first place.
