Project Cod Fish

LooseCannon, yes I welded 1/8 inch rod all the way down the edge of the door to close the gap.........Just kidding. I needed about an inch and a half of 3/16 at the "B" pillar about where the drip rail ends. The rest of the gap was good.

Its about time for a video. This is the left door closing with the weather strip installed.

eb i love the work you do you are a master metal man.i would love to tear down a 64-66 cab and go the route you have on this one for rob.i know the only way to get a rustfree cab these days are to build one because the rustfree ones don't exist anymore.keep up the good work.

[ebfabman]

Thanks for the kind words. I know what you mean about rust free cabs.

[va_tlc]

wow, great work , i liked the looks of the flush mount windows, if your gonna do that would you also remove the drip rail, i think that looks great. again great skills you have,

I haven't decided if eb's work motivates me or makes me want to give up on my own metal work. Either way it looks like awesome work. This is going to be a nice truck!

[rob32472]

Eb is back to work on the cab... Here is a pic of the roof skin fit. We are goin to weld the seam solid along the back.

[sourkraut]

are you going to weld the seam for looks or for strength. looking good!

[rob32472]

Both...... mostly for looks.

[barthmonster]

EB,

Kudos on your work, I've never seen anything like it. Looks like I found my brithday-present to myself. Your videos...

That truck is gonna be nice !!

[idonutn0]

Thanks for showing the work on the cowl area! Mine is in similar shape and I was wondering what to do with it. Your work just answered that questions!
Another question, where is the roof skin from? I need that too.
Thanks for all of the info.

[rob32472]

The skin came from Southern Kentucky Classics

[idonutn0]

Thanks for the info on the roof skin. I just called them for pricing $175.00
How well is the fit compared to the stock roof?

Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for the info.

[rob32472]

maybe EB will chime in as the pic is all the info i have

[ebfabman]

Hey guys, yes the fit is pretty good. I'll know more this weekend when I get it final welded. Right now I'm working on the dash. Kinda tagging on a few things at once to get to a point where some epoxy primer can be sprayed. I want to spray the inside firewall, the back side of the dash, and the top of the cab, before the new skin goes on for good

[my67chevytruck]

wow.. your a Guru at metal work. I wish my metal work would turn out lookin like that.... Great progress on the cab....

[idonutn0]

Hey EB, please keep taking pictures of all of the vent work like the ones on page 3. Im following in your foot steps!
Thanks for the inspiration.

[rob32472]

Here is a picture of the dash area.... The middle area will be used for a dvd/stereo unit at a later time. Let me know what ya think. As usual EB has done a great job

[nuke1]

All i can say is WOW to Ebs' metal work, i thought i was ok,at it and i do it for a living, but wow, very nicely finished. congrats!!!!! What do you use for a welder Eb, i see that you finish it in 80 grit and finer D/A, and what are you using to grind if you do not mind me asking, we all have our own little tricks.

[ebfabman]

Hey Rob, what do you think?
