Thanks Double, I still have a 71 C10 and a 71 blazer on the back burners

Hemi, Just ART strong arms,cool ride and 4 wheel disc...

Nobby,
I have something for ya.. PM me so we can figure out how to get this piece out to you.. The three screw holes look pretty rusty, but I'm quite certain you can run a tap through them and they'll be just fine..

Hahah.. uhhhhh... I have no wiper motor??? Unfortunately the truck cab was completely stripped of all the mechanical pieces other than the pedal assembly.. All that is left is what's in my pics!

**Nobby** · 02-19-2012, 09:15 PM

Started smoothing firewall today..My brother inlaw drove up just in time to do some grinding

Frame is in better shape than I thought so I'm gonna wire brush it myself and save some $ on blasting. Progress should start picking up again..

hemifalcon · 02-22-2012, 05:18 PM

Nobby--looking good.. Please take a bunch of photos of the roof eyebrow repair.. That's gonna (presumably anyway) be the toughest repair in my mind on my Burb.. I won't be to that point for a bit.. But like mentioned by others that's a common problem area on these trucks.. I will definitely be referring to your build when bodywork on mine begins..

No problem,thats coming soon as I can borrow my friends spot welder. Will get some pics on here.

**Nobby** · 03-04-2012, 07:02 PM

Had a productive weekend. Replaced rusted wiper motor mount and continued smoothing out firewall. Removed barn door tail pan. Wire brushed frame,primed and c notched. Also started the spagetti work on the harnest

**Nobby** · 03-04-2012, 07:11 PM

Wiring and also started on the roof repair. We figured what would work best for us and cut the new panel in half,fit the ends and fill in the middle.

doubleb's69 · 03-04-2012, 07:38 PM

Great job! Way to put family to work.

chubbs67 · 03-04-2012, 08:56 PM

Am I seeing weld on the seam on the left side of this photo??? As you finish this piece up, please take some additional pictures or post them if you have them.. Glad that wiper mount was put to good use!

**Nobby** · 03-06-2012, 08:51 AM

Yea Hemi, I welded the seam.. If I don't like the look of it being smooth I'll just grind me a swallow 1/8'' groove to look like the factory seam..Thanks again for the wiper mount..

hemifalcon · 03-06-2012, 10:40 AM

Cool... As I was considering the same... Once I cut that part-depending on what's lurking inside-I may weld too.. It'll be another month or two before I get there..

Ha Ha, you got me..It slowed down some.I keep reminding myself I have 5 months to finish this thing for Cruisin the Coast. I'm gonna try to set the engine and trans this weekend. I'll paint the firewall soon so I can put the body back on. Then I think it will look like I'll make it
