Re: Crewcab build
Hey guys, it's been a while since I have had time to work on this thing, work just keeps getting in the way! Anyway, I may be doing something a little different with the doors, but need to see how you can seal two glass edges together. I'll keep updating as i go along, if this new idea for the doors works, it will save me weeks of fab work! Thanks for the interest!

Re: Crewcab build
Look at any # of 50's and 60's 2 and 4 door hardtops for sealing glass edges, I think by the 70's they might have even gotten away from metal framed glass on the 4 door hardtops

Re: Crewcab build
How do they grab the doors to lock them in? Is there just a short post that only goes up between the doors to the window edge? I've been trying to check out cars at the junkyard, but 4 door hardtops not so easy to find!

Can't get over how small my garage was before the re-model. Anyway there's a support that goes up behind the doors with the strikers and then becomes the thin chrome piece between the windows as it goes up to the roof.. I'll go out after work tomorrow and get a door open picture. Josh

Re: Crewcab build
Back from the dead..........
As much as I hate to admit it, work has definately left me with less and less time to work on this project. When summertime comes and the work is there, I have to take it, so not much progress was made over the last few months. Today however, was the exception! Me and my shop buddy Mike worked for almost 12 hours getting the frames welded together. It took what seemed like forever to get everything to true and straiten up, but finall we got it! I don't have any pictures of it going together, but may have some on my camera at my shop. Here are a few pictures that I took with my cell phone once it was all back together. I also just picked up 1965 GMC truck with the V6 in it for a great deal, I'll post some more pictures later! Since winter time is coming up, I may have some more free time to get this guy back together again. |
