Thanks man...

It's been alot of work in a short period of time but it's going together now. The A/c is always a pain in the butt and I have to shorten up some of the tubes as they enter the engine bay...and thats kind of where i am right now.

[wutnxt]

Man it's been raining here for days so no rolling outside for pictures......sorry guy's i tried. But good news is..

Had the rear tubs reworked and they fit better now....had them touched up..bolted them down and drilled out all the edge holes and have the bolts dropped through.....

-Have the fenders painted.....
-Rad hold down bracket is painted......
-Ac system is started and i have to do some reasearch.....on how i am going -to change it ....Is anyone a vintage ac expert ?
-Took apart the seat and cleaned up the frame and have started repairs
-Working on the fuel door for the bed....made more changes to it because I didn't like it the way it was
-Installed back window
- Power windows are installed into the doors but not painted yet
-Vent windows are being swapped for new glass

So Like the rest of you I name every thing i build....and with no exception to the rule this truck has a name and i realized I have spit that out yet. So if you give me a few days to finish up some cool little things I will show you what we call it in the shop. So I been busting it on this and the 49 and as usual nothing goes easy when you want it too. I am calling in some re-enforcements to help me get caught up and see if I can make the car show. I know you all want so new pictures so over the next few days I will post some of the progress, maybe even later tonight .

Dude not only do you build a mean looking truck and have some serious fabrication skills....Your my motivation lately..thanks brother...

[wutnxt]

bomp a picture...just for you buddy...

This is a 49 chevy delivery I am building....it's not finished and has a long way to go but the guy I am building it for has been awesome he is a great guy who has really let me do my thing to it. I call it the Rum Runner and it's kind of done as if it was redone in the late 50's or early 60's....The intake is ceramic coated the exhausted is coated as well....all the fins are powder coated black. Twin carbs and dual exhaust I just really dig the way it looks right now....

[wutnxt]

So on a differnt note......I got side tracked with a bowl creation...here is the before and after pictures. Yea I know it's a special bowl for a special purpose and like always time will tell how good of a idea that was.....lol

Thanks man....
I really like the way it's turning out.....I have a few more parts to order before it gets done. We got the braided heater hoses on today and the billited spacers but are still waiting for some gear. Cant wait to start in the rear of the delivery I have some cool plans for back there...Between flights tomorrow you can bet I will be ordering.....

[wutnxt]

So it's been a busy week and I admit that i was slacking sort of and ended up with the C 10 gang in delmar but man did we have some fun......

[wutnxt]

Had a wicked day in the shop today.....Finished up the panels for the sub box....I have built a ton of these things this way and just never showed any of it. But someone was asking me the otherday what i run so I thought i would show some of that ....and I put the gas tank in for the 52nd time and I hope it's the last time....finished up some parts.....

[wutnxt]

When i get a chance i will post up the new pictures just give me a day of two to catch up....I have things going on all over the shop right now as i try to get the truck finished enough to put it in a show as a project truck.....

[wutnxt]

So I have had the pieces cut for my sub box for awhile....infact I cut enough to make 3 sub boxes cause apparently I have a few more projects in the wings waiting for their turn. Anyhow I wasn't doing anything between 5 pm and about 1 am so I finished cutting the rest and put it together . Then because of the shape of the box I fiberglassed the crap out of the inside to ensure it will take a beating....From the end it looks like a triangle but at the back bottom corner there is a wedge removed so that it clears the gas tank bases against the cab .The front piece is cut over sized a bit to make it look cleaner and then i rounded off the top corners. For good measure I ran the router all the way around the face because I am funny like that ...lol

[wutnxt]

Well remember the oak bowl I showed you awhile ago.....Well it was part of a idea i had to do something a little differnt....We took a solid oak block turned it down.....and well

[wutnxt]

It fits down over the gas filler tube and presses up to the bottom of the bed...it turned out to be more work then i thought because.....1st we sunk the fuel door down flush and i didn't like the way it fit for mounting so ...2nd we C&C'd a bottom plate for a better finsh and make it stronger. 3rd I used a urethane stain in the bowl and we cleared the crap out the bowl ( must be 15 coats )and we had to wet sand it and polish it.

[wutnxt]

But I liked the way it looked.....I know that it's never going to be seen but I Know it's there and I guess thats how I roll lol. Oh and like the rest of the lighting I had to make it green right ?.....

Read, got caught up. Sitting here trying to think of something clever.
No words come to mind that can express the awesomeness of your build.
I didn't make it to the Portland Swap Meet this year either.

Next Year!
