That is Toooooooo Cool!
It's gonna be a real hard act to keep that quality level on the rest of the build, But I am gaining a great confidence level!
This will probably end up making mine look somewhat shade-tree!!
This is gonna be a great build to watch, and progress!!!
Great work/foresight!

Drop dead gorgeous work on the frame!!!!!!

Things are really starting to pick up....got all the holes in the firewall welded up, body worked and in first prime, Porterbuilt hinges installed, got the chassis put back together and the engine and tranny installed as well as the rear end. I also had Joel from full blown paint stop while we have the body off to lay down some pin striping and do some detail work on the intake. Enjoy!!!!

It's just a stock upper radiatior hold down that he found at the local pull a part, he cut some out of the middle and then made that aluminum piece to rivet over the top of it.

Chris...Just went through your whole thread. Absolutely great job. Looks very nice. Or SICK as most would say. Keep up the great work and look forward to watching for the rest of the build. I subscribed to your build. I have many pictures of my 86 Silverado but just tore it down and at Chads for blasting. Ordered all PB components. I will soon start a build tread myself. Meanwhile keep the pictures and progress coming! Tony Knight

Hey Chris,

I was wondering if you might know of anyone "local" to me or you that does media (soda) blasting? I need to get some sheet metal clean on a 48 model truck, and it has heavy undercoating on the backside of the fenders. Any info would be appreciated. I can't wait to see some updated pics of your truck too!
I'm a 67-72 guy....... but builds like this one are driving me to want a 60-66 SWB BBW.

Thanks, Wade

Look up Extreme Liners & Customs in Gonzales, LA...he has a guy that does it but uses a special type of media that doesn't cause any damage to the panels. He was super cheap too.

[rwade]

Thanks, I'll do that. I appreciate the info

This is definitely a budget build I wanna stay with a period correct look, All deluxe trim and emblems, HRF satin charcoal w/all red interior, may go with some steelies, or nostalgic set of 20s such as Coys or AR Torque Thrusts...this will definitely be a cruiser.

What happened to your budget build?? lol There is nothing budget about what I am seeing here man. !!!

[Modges'66]

Well???
Where-the-F are all of the updates????
I gotta see this SEMA thing!!!

[JakeDW]

Saw a small glimmer of your truck in the new Accuair sema 2014 video.

Haha....I kinda got carried away....the more I got into the truck the more I liked it....then my uncle passed away and I decided to build it in his memory and go all out.
