Nice work!!! I think the truck looks great in the 'mock up' pic. Now with the engine spinning you're really gonna hit it.

NF65Fleetside · 05-05-2009, 01:34 AM

daym look'n good mayn! fawk Im dig'n the steering wheel too, had wanted to go that route on my old ride.

jchav62 · 05-05-2009, 08:55 AM

Thanks guys! Yesterday she ordered the patch panels and inner braces for the fenders. Her brother is going to patch those and the inner fenders for us. After that we will assemble it. Hopefully in time to be able to take it to the Rumblers show in Albuquerque! That's on the 23rd so keep your fingers crossed everyone!

protrash64 · 05-05-2009, 01:10 PM

Have you ever rolled up to Colorado for the Goodguys show? I was thinking about that as I know I could get there in a day no problem.

I've never gone. I have a buddy that went and he wants to do it again with some friends. Hopefully one day. When is that show?

protrash64 · 05-05-2009, 03:10 PM

Its going to be in June this year....I think 5,6,7. I just read it in the Gazette.

That would be nice. I won't be able to make that this year. This band is booked... I hate it when one hobby interferes with the other!

Maybe next year...

protrash64 · 05-06-2009, 02:01 PM

I just read it again this morning.....its in Loveland which is practically Nebraska. I figured it would be closer to the Denver area.

jchav62 · 05-06-2009, 02:49 PM

I think it used to be in Colo. Springs, but they moved it up to Loveland a couple years ago. I don't get why they did...??

Strodder · 05-06-2009, 03:37 PM

Just got caught up with your thread. Nice going Hoser. Your so lucky to have your wife helping you with her truck.

Hey Joe, any progress updates........

Well, I started working on it again last night...no pics though. I finally was able to get it to the shop. Fred fixed the rust on the inner fenders, so I got those put in a painted the firewall. I will be going back to the shop this evening to do some more work. I have the camera in the truck, so I'll snap some pics and post them tomorrow.

I picked up some new chrome engine pulleys and alt. bracket today, those will go on tonight, the radiator is also ready to go fresh out of the radiator shop.

I hope to have it running by the end of the week.

Joe,
Sweet,,,, progress is always good. on the inner fenders was the rust area in the forward area? if so I would like to see or hear how you and Fred fixed them. mine are toast and need a miracle....glad to hear progress pictures are coming,,,,

Mac, This is David......................Not Joe..............

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:40 AM

Yes, the rust is was on the front tips of the inner fenders. Fred works magic with metal. He used a donor set to "make" his own patches. He cuts out the rusty area and pieces it back together with pieces cut out of another. Comes out pretty nice...

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:57 AM

Here are some pics...

This is how I got the truck to the shop...

One project pulling another...

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 09:58 AM

Sounds good. Can't wait for the pics.

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 09:58 AM

Oops. Posted the same time as you.

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:59 AM

Then, after I backed the trailer into my 'assigned' work area at the shop, I bolted on the inner fenders freshly patched by Fred... I have no detailed shots of the patched area at this time, but I'll post some later...

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:01 AM

Undercoated the fender wells....

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:03 AM

Then after a quick 'scuff and shoot' of the inner panel of the radiator support, we bolted that in...and did a little touching up...

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 10:06 AM

I bet your woman was happy.

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:06 AM

Time for the hood....

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:08 AM

After a cleaning and oiling one of the hood hinges, a few adjustments were made and the hood closes 'cherry'....

283 Man · 05-20-2009, 10:08 AM
