The Electric Windows are installed and working properly. I had the glass custom cut to a template I made. The store bought glass just did not fit to my liking. The fits great now.

A couple of pics from Rudy's meet and greet in Redondo Beach California

Your truck looks awesome, great job. The color really pops in the sun, unbelievably.

Jason 56 · 08-21-2021, 11:19 PM

Wow, your truck is beautiful. I only hope mine turns out half as nice. Enjoy cruising in one great looking ride!

bajabob · 08-22-2021, 12:10 AM

Outstanding as expected!! I learned a lot from your build and look at custom builds with much scrutiny as a result

Thanks man I appreciate it. Spare time? Man I already started planning out the rebuild of my 55 210. Here is a pic of the suspension thats going in it. Its a flat out engineering front crossmember that I made the frame rails for to slide in as a clip. The suspension components are from a 88-96 C4 Corvette. Its not finished, I will taper the from of the frame rails and I have to make the core support and bumper mounts.

Yeah the plan is to do another build thread so I will put it in Alternate Tinkering. I'm still in the planning stage now. When I start the install I will be sure to do it.
