Thank you, it is nice to be appreciated. I have the best job in the world, I get paid in smiles and occasionally I get a compliment from someone, sometimes from a former student. I was all fired up after reading and posting as the temps had climbed into the high 60's-low 70's, but now it is snowing!? It has been going off and on for two days and isn't supposed to stop til Sunday, so somebody post picts of warm weather and more sheetmetal work! Last edited by 70rs/ss; 10-05-2007 at 02:48 AM. |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I am looking forward to those plans. I just bought a new 60gal air compressor so I can start grinding, banging, and welding on my 68. My reclaiming of my garage is well underway and I hope to start disassembly next weekend.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Sorry guys I have only worked on it a few hours this week (getting things with Tip & Flip finished and sent out) and not really much to show. I will be out in the shop most of Sunday and hope to have some more pic's. I am working out door gaps and window regulators for the fourth door and things that do not show like much but are real time consumers.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
And we are back!! Spent about 8hrs today working on the window chanels on the door and getting the window regulator all set up.
Ok for some info on the different pic's. The door I used for the 4th door was a truck drivers side front. This had a few changes that had to be addressed like where the vent window is on the front door it had a narrowed section that had to be removed for the window glass and weather stripping. Then the rear of the door window rails had to get a narrowed area for where the fixed glass is located in the 3rd and 4th doors. Then the rear area had to get a false bottom welded in it for support of the fixed glass. Then after some time with the window regulator we had a working window. We were looking at changing the angle of the fixed post but by using the Burb doors their just is not enough room to have the window move straite up and down. The window is designed to move slightly towards the rear as it drops in order to miss the hinge reinforcing area. If this was going to be a show truck we would have removed the hinge reinforcing area to get the window angel changed. But since this is a daily driver we did not want to jeperdize the structure since his grand son will be slamming this door quit a bit. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Also we hade to section the bottom of the door panel area with the section from a 3rd door. For some reason they made the front door panel area and the rears different so to make it all look stock we had to cut and chop.
Since this door is made up of 7 pieces already we felt one more was not going to hurt anything. We had to section the bottom door panel are to get it to all lign up corectly. I still have a bit of work to finish up on the door but this is enough for today. See I told all of you the door would be slow going. But it is all this detail work that will really pay off in the end. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Great pics, very nice work. Wow, if you saw mine you wouldn't call that rust, it would be "weathered". It's a big help to see how all these body panels fit.

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
I am going to tease you guys. Here is what I found when I went out to Mike(70 rs/ss) last year to pick up a burb I bought from him.
It is a factory built 4 door 68 3/4 truck. They built it and 5 others for GM's Mesa/Arizona testing area. 4 full doors, factory custom built, all the window work normally and it wasn't built out of a burb. When I saw that Truck in one of the mags, I had to smile, because of this one. It has factory VIN and a serial # by Fisher body. I am going out in May to pick it up. He has 2 others, one he is keeping, the other hit hard in the front. So I am going to pull the cab off the frame and put it in the back of this one. I kept this a secert from you Mike because I was going to visit!! LOL |

Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!
Plus I found here in NC a 65 4 door 3/4 crew cab with squared off rear doors, not fronts used. It is rusty but fixable...... short wheel base, has 6 foot utility bed on it. I am trying to find the owner, longg story, and I did not have a camera, it also has a fisher body plate with serial #.
Gm made a lot of special vehicle. An Attorney I used to work for in DC had several 55-73 4 door Cadillac convertables that his father ordered from GM. They built them special for him because he did their legal work in DC. The reason my ex boss said they wanted 4 doors was because his mother was raised a lady and never rode in the front of a vehicle....." Miss Daisey" !!!! |
