Was looking for a different photo.

Found these.

Long ago.

However, I can say that having seen the progress at Martins house, I am amazed.new doors, carpeting, every surface sanded back, sealed, painted, woodwork cpvarnished.

Winter is not ideal for outside builds in this country.

Trucks will get their turn again.

They are patient.

Long ago.

Grizz1963 · 04-17-2019, 09:57 AM

This is a test.

Martin can come and do the comments if it works.

mjh1965 · 04-17-2019, 10:04 AM

Thanks Rian
Well I am back on the truck again after a long absence. Got my new rear tyres fitted so it’s rolling again. Enabling me to get it in and out of the carport.

I have also finished my rotisserie with some casters so once I get the outer rocker fitted it can be rolled out of the garage and got ready for paint.

Grizz1963 · 04-17-2019, 10:08 AM

Rotisserie for managing cab work.

Just making it even better.

mjh1965 · 04-18-2019, 05:06 PM

Well I got a little bit more done today. So tomorrow I have a choice go to a show called Wheels Day or get some more done on the truck .

I think getting on with the truck might just win

ibrown50 · 04-19-2019, 03:59 PM

Great to see you back on it Martin, the repair is looking good, don’t forget to try the door fit before you weld everything up

Thanks Ian I did try the door on then made a little adjustment then welded the outer rocker on today . Unfortunately I have just spent an hour on photobucket trying to upload some pictures and gave up .

Grizz1963 · 04-19-2019, 06:18 PM

There you go Martin.

mjh1965 · 04-20-2019, 12:13 AM

Thanks Rian

mjh1965 · 04-23-2019, 01:16 PM

Making the brackets to mount the cab on the rotisserie.

Mounted.

On Sunday I took a day off . First heading out to a local bootfair with Sally.
I managing to get some flap wheels for about a 1/4 of the usual shop price . After that we headed down to the beach. It was the least I could do , after sally had been helping me hang the door then helping me mount the cab on the rotisserie
I think we just needed a bit of relaxation time

Finally I finished off on Monday by getting it under cover ready to start the body work

Massive progress!!!

Well done mate !!

mjh1965 · 05-10-2019, 09:41 PM

Well with the cab in the rotisserie I was able to start getting if ready for paint

So after finishing both outer rockers I started cleaning up the underneath

Then brush sealer was applied

Finally ready for under seal spray schutz underseal

I know I’ve said it before but I am so glad I purchased this rotisserie

I finally feel it’s getting further along

Lokin4AReason · 05-10-2019, 11:27 PM

Thanks
Hopefully I am getting a delivery from the states this weekend
Photos to follow hopefully.

mjh1965 · 05-20-2019, 01:47 AM

The good news
My new bed strips with the fitting kit , and body mouldings and the clips have arrived. On all the C10 Facebook pages most people had recommended Mar-k in Oklahoma for the body mouldings. The reason for this is they are made in the USA no cheap Chinese copy’s . The problem I had was Mar-k don’t deliver to the U.K. . The good news is Topspeed and there sister company CM Frost were able to purchase them from Mar-k and ship them over to the U.K. as they are an agent for them . They arrived very well packed . As for the truck I spent most of the weekend sanding and prepping the floor inside ready for primer.

Youll have her on the road by Christmas mate!

Thanks Bill I would like to at least have the cab painted underneath and the engine bay painted, and the inside all painted Then I plan on getting the cab back on the chassis. If it’s done by the end of the summer, I can start fitting all the parts over the winter . This arrived today to help it happen

mjh1965 · 08-28-2019, 05:02 PM

Well I thought I’d put some updates on . I managed to paint the underneath of the cab with stone chip then the colour. Hugger orange.

Next I primed the firewall then prepared it for colour

Well it’s getting there at last

MacQuigley · 08-28-2019, 07:06 PM

Its looking good Martin. Really starting to take shape now.

mjh1965 · 09-15-2019, 03:49 PM

Well I got a bit more done on the truck this weekend.
Inner fenders back from sand blasting.
Then the rusty section was cut out and the rust replaced with new metal.
Then filled and prepared for primer.
Then high build primer.
