Project "Edna Marie"

I also cut out my center speaker grill and you can see the hole in the last picture above. I hope to get it welded up soon.

Here is my Basement Bathroom. The subway tile sucked to do in the shower. I hope this might be my last tile job that I have to do.

Looks like your welding skills are solid Brian, your firewall is looking great!

Geez!! How in the world do you use that bathroom? Doesn't the water fall out of the toilette?

Hahah it's a spare, so I don't care.

Hey Vic - heading to Greensboro this week for work but maybe in the next few weeks could you help me fab the passenger side rounded corner for the firewall?

Thanks Scott. Vic is probably tired of me asking him ques but it is sure helping. Still not as good as I would like but it is a start.

Wow. Your taking the route I had planned with my first truck. I have since sold it and bought a running truck lol

Seriously, cool build. Should be really nice when done.

Thanks - it is going to be a long project since my wife is going back to school. However that is a good since I need to spend time learning sheet metal and welding. I am starting to feel more confident so that is a good thing.

You bet, just give me a call when you're back in town.

Looking good Brian! Hopefully here shortly I'll have some good pics posted of dads truck. Everything is done except the bed and a few smaller pieces. We need to catch up sometime.

[aggie91]

Looking good Brian. Di you ever finish up the roof transplant? or did I miss the picture of that?

[Low Elco]

Glad to see you back in the game!

No the roof isn't finished. I have everything pretty much done minus the outer skin. I wanted to practice welding and start to feel more confident before tackling it. I think this spring it will be finished up.

Well once again I have more none truck news. The reality hit me that my jeep was to small for my family so I ended up trading it in on a new Dodge Ram. I think it was a good decision since it saves me 140 a month and also allows me to haul things easily for this 67 project. I also sold my military trailer.

Since i have made some progress on the firewall and fuel neck hole. I also have the frame set up and am starting to work on it. I figure i am about a year out on ordering all my Porterbuilt stuff. I think i have my wife talked into making a road trip with the family to pick up all the Porterbuilt parts and also have a vacation next summer with the family. I have about a year to get the metal and body work done and get the frame prepped for the crossmembers.

[bguild]

I am planning on ordering the cheaper Porterbuilt crossmembers soon. The one that mounts to the radiator support (mine is bent from a poor tow job) and also the two that will go around the Boyd gas tank in the rear. This way I can cut out the factory crossmembers to make room for the Porterbuilt ones.

I also picked up a nice cowl from Sduckworth.. -Thanks!

If anyone has a nice drive side radiator support frame mount. Let me know? Mine has been ground down in what looks like a fitment issue for a power steering pump.

[bguild]

Next up finish the roof transplant-- Then on to the doors and floor.

Looking good. Sounds like you have a good plan. Keep up the good work.

Since i have made some progress on the firewall

Nice work on the firewall. Looks clean. Hey just a heads up about that area to the lower left of your fan filler. I had some rust bubble up on mine just a while back. I did the repair in 2012. It looks like you got it all but like I said I had some come back through my epoxy and high build. I ended up cutting a bunch more back out. You might double check it while it's still bare metal. I'm not saying your's will rust, just what I had happen after it was blocked out and ready for wet sanding
Keep the pictures coming.

Thanks for the heads up. I have actually cut the outside area behind the inside vent so I can take care of the rust from the inside out. I will post pics of that repair since it is on the list to take care of soon.

Well I have some bad news. I already wrecked my new Dodge truck shown above. I had 900 miles on it and did 8500 dollars worth of damage. I am out a vehicle until it gets finished. The good is no one got hurt.

I have finally got some work done on the frame. I am starting to work on getting the old crossmembers and old style suspension out of the frame. I was hoping to have ordered the Porterbuilt front radiator crossmember and the rear crossmember by now but the truck deductable and also the ticket I received since I was at fault. Hopefully soon I can get some funds up so can buy those so I can get them mocked up in the frame.




Some great clearance work by a previous owner. I will be fixing this soon.
