Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

[oldman3]

Starting to look like a truck again. Front end alignment of panels is rough, but I'm sure you will work it out...Jim

A little update,
Next week we are going to install the new hood,and try to line up all
The gaps between the fenders and hood, hope everything will fit..

[YahamaR1]

Installed the Altman easy latch..
Very nice set,, doors are closing real nice....
Damn, thats a lott of work to line up all the gaps with the fenders and hood

[YahamaR1]

I did'nt like the bold on setup, so I welded them in the doors..

Thanks,....
Its easy, took me 45 minute for 1 side.
After paint you will see nothing, just like it was original

[lowrodderchev]

heck in primer it looks original nice job

[YahamaR1]

Made a table for the cab.. Now we can finish the complete Cab..
Welding/sanding/primer....




Real happy with my shaved firewall..

Also orderd a brakebooster,, I was planning to use a frame mount booster, but there isnt enough room to put it under my cab, so now I am going tu use a chrome one... A little bling under the hood...

You can't really go wrong with chrome!

[YahamaR1]

More new chrome parts...

[YahamaR1]

Just came back from new york, and have al my new parts now..
We are still welding on the Cab,so not much of a progress.
Hope to have the Cab back on the frame the end of this year..

They stole my VW Tranporter in august this year, so I was looking to buy
A other car..
Today I bought a Chevrolet explorer limited SE..

Its really grazy with work, ive been in russia/mexico/NY/Maine/
NY again/mexico/ and now in Texas for 6 weeks.
Like it a lot here in the usa.. See so many cars and trucks here in the field.
Wish I had place for them, but first have to finish my 51"

[YahamaR1]

Still working in marfa texas, today I recived my new lokar e-brake and cables.
Also all of the stuff for the dashboard. And some things for the inside of the doors.
I wil stay here untill the 28-03
Hope that the cab is ready when I come home, so I can start building again...

[oldman3]

That's got to be driving you crazy, not being able to work on it...Jim

You can say that again,,, there isnt a day that i dont think of my truck,
Have a lott of plans in my head, but cant do a thing, my plan is to stay here in texas for some more weeks, and then go back home, and work day and night at the chevy, I got a lott of new stuff now, got everything to finish my build.
The only thing that isnt finish is my cab.. The guy that works on it ,is really slow.
I hope he is ready when I will come home..
So I can put some new pictures on this forum.

[oldman3]

We'll be waiting, when you get back on it...Jim
