Nice and Clean. Great works so far.

Metaldoc · 11-12-2015, 08:11 PM

It's turning out real nice, This is my first complete project that I've done all the work myself.
Thanks Derek

Thanks Derek

You are going at a breakneck pace compared to most builds on here, I think you are going to be done before May unless you hit a financial roadblock.

Metaldoc · 11-14-2015, 11:53 AM

Thanks and if I do keep up this pace I will be ready for May or sooner, It gives me time to do a nice job on details at the end. I have most of the stuff for the truck as it was a driver when I bought it . The cost starts to add up quick in the end part of the build though.

steering column in, pedals in , E-brake done, both vents in, clutch hooked up, throttle on. I had a good day.

swamp rat · 11-14-2015, 01:30 AM

Your doing a great job MisterDoc!

**Advanced Design** · 11-16-2015, 11:10 AM

Looking really good! Nice progress.

Metaldoc · 11-22-2015, 01:21 AM

Spent a couple of hours in the blast cabinet on my hinges, a bit of paint and brand new. Upgrading the wiring to add a new panel. My dash didn't fair so well in the southern heat, recovering that and the door panels in black and adding black visors. Taking some blue out, add more black and silver.

Metaldoc · 12-04-2015, 03:35 PM

Been down with migraines again, on average now 5 to 7 a day so not much happening in the shop. I'm going to a new doc. in the new year to see about an electrical implant to try and stop them. Damn headaches are messing up my shop time. I did find the rest of my wiring and it doesn't look to bad. It's hard to concentrate on detailed stuff with a headache. I just keep going and push on, I want a driver not a project waiting to be driven. How can you tell I've a couple of crappy weeks.

**Advanced Design** · 12-04-2015, 06:35 PM

Sorry to hear about your headaches! Wiring would be very tough to do with a migrane.
Hopefully the new Doc will help.

Metaldoc · 12-24-2015, 02:30 PM

A Merry Christmas to all my fellow builders and may Santa bring ya some new toys or parts for the build.
HO HO HO Derek.

cleanfreak · 01-04-2016, 07:52 AM

Just went thru the build quickly , very nice! I have a friend out your way , wanting some rocker work done on a real nice 68 swb , any interest in a little side work?

Thanks I try not to take on other work due to health problems, but I'd be willing to talk to him or work him through the job. My shop isn't big enough to hold another truck either. Some times the rocker repair can be more involved than what's seen on the outside.

No problem , thought I would ask. He has asked me , just a little to busy with my own fleet, and it's hard to find metal work of your quality up here.

deejaaa1 · 01-23-2016, 01:10 AM

looking good.

Metaldoc · 01-25-2016, 06:15 PM

power window and lock relays controlled by momentary push button switches. No rocker switches, something different. Diodes to stop reverse ground flow to relays from alarm output and button to relay trigger.

Vintage Windmills · 01-25-2016, 10:50 PM

Nice work! I really like how you are repurposing the voltage regulator

Thanks, that reg box holds the two breakers perfect and still looks like it could have been there from factory.

Low Elco · 01-26-2016, 02:20 PM

Nice work- All of this electrical, I'd have thrown up and passed out by now.

Metaldoc · 01-26-2016, 05:20 PM

It all fits so far, now the alarm, that's the wires hanging over the column, I just ordered a 400 watt inverter to add 4 usb charge ports and 2 110vac to charge a lap top or use an electric fishing knife. Wiring is the best way to learn patience. I still have to pull it all out to rap it with tape.

**Advanced Design** · 01-26-2016, 10:07 PM

Nice work!

Metaldoc · 01-27-2016, 06:08 PM

New door lock/unlock, power windows and cargo light controls. They trip the ground to close the 85-86 on the relays. These switches are 3amp momentary push button normally open. I might paint the bracket blue to match the dash.

Metaldoc · 01-29-2016, 06:30 PM

Inverter is perfect all the outlets on the end so now to mount it under the seat.

Metaldoc · 01-30-2016, 07:29 PM

I think I'm done adding to the fuse panel and the relays wired to go to the doors for p/w, p/l.
