this is a very nice build... textbook approach with tons of skills. hanging on for the bodywork but with what you've shown, it should be no problem for ya...

looks really good.

jhrusk · 06-20-2013, 09:20 AM

Thanks a bunch guys, Everyone on here really has something to bring to the table. I follow along with almost every build and it really is cool to see the different ideas and skills that people use doing these things. I was hoping to make the Power Tour but it was'nt meant to be but I am to the point now that I am not going to cut corners and it will take however long it takes. Thanks for looking.

flips72 · 06-20-2013, 06:10 PM

headers look great, you have some serious skills. that's a lot of good looking parts you have there, what epoxy are you planning on using?

jhrusk · 06-21-2013, 07:50 AM

Thanks Flips I am using PPG dp50 epoxy.

jhrusk · 07-10-2013, 08:59 PM

MAN YOU GOT SKILLS! nice work

Jeff La · 07-12-2013, 11:41 PM

I'll bet that will really quiet that truck down, great job.

jhrusk · 08-17-2013, 05:58 PM

Time for an update,had a lot of other things going on but I am still making progress. I have gotten the passenger side door skin on and curently getting all the door gaps set, I am also doing rough bodywork as I go so I can get primer on it while working each area. I know that is not typically how things are done but it helps me from getting overwhelmed and also I dont know when I may have other things to work on in between.Here are a few pics, Thanks.

I see your wheel opening looks good with those wheels.

I also got me a long fleetside bed I plan to cut down to a short.

**Captainfab** · 08-25-2013, 12:06 AM

I was doing some catching up on this awesome build tonight and I noticed you are running a 2bbl carb?

Jmorales3181 · 08-25-2013, 12:49 PM

Very clean work as usual!

jhrusk · 08-25-2013, 07:12 PM

Capt I plan on starting out with the 2 brl to hopefully get good mileage hoever I do have a 600 edelbrock. I will put it on a chassis dyno once it is up and running to tune it for optimum fuel mileage and we will try both carbs to see which on has the best driveability and mileage.

theastronaut · 08-27-2013, 05:21 PM

Awesome build! Love the way you ran the rear brake line/flex hose, well thought out mod. The sheetmetal work looks great, door gaps are very even and tight! I'll be keeping up with progress, can't wait to see more!

jhrusk · 11-20-2013, 07:29 PM

Thought I would post an update, not a whole lot going on but I am about 80% complete on the passenger side door and fender fittment and well into it on the drivers side, It is very time consuming to get these door gaps and fittment like it should be. I have an extra frame that I am going to mount the body to and finish all the body work then I will start the painting process. Hopefully after the holidays I will be able to make a little more progress on it. Tha last pic is a project I started for a friend of mine a couple years ago, it has been sitting since the economy tanked but I think he is ready to get back on it when I get this truck finished.

very nice work. definitely inspiring detail in those gaps. ton of work...

bj383ss · 12-09-2013, 07:58 PM

Awesome build. Your body work skills are top notch. Do you mind me asking what tool you are using to go to bare metal? It looks like you get very good results with it.

Bret

jhrusk · 12-09-2013, 08:22 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words. bj I had the body sandblasted and then sprayed with epoxy primer, when I get ready to work an area I have a 90 degree die grinder with a 2" roloc 36 grit disc. Body work on this truck has really worn me down as it is so time consuming but I just keep working a little along and maybe one day it will be finished. Thanks Guys.
