You got that right, there is many places that are not pretty

**Dustmaker65** · 03-14-2017, 09:45 PM

Looking good Mike!

Guess I a not the only one that thinks keeping receipts is a bad idea...lol

Great progress. I know that photo of the fender over the wheel will be enough to keep the fire going on this build.

You all may be on to something

Another project off of my punch list this morning. I got the PB hood hinges done. It was super simple but Nate's products are so well made they just fall into place.

**GR8-68** · 03-18-2017, 07:21 PM

Looks great, I want to do the porter built hinges also

cknfrmr · 03-18-2017, 09:19 PM

Thank you! I about had a heart attack when I paid for them

MMcMasters · 03-19-2017, 08:36 PM

I started working on my firewall today and it made me remember how much I dislike smoothing the firewall on these things. It's ugly so it has to be done I guess. I filled 20 or so small holes today and started on the big ones on the passenger side.

My goal for the week is to have the big panel that replaces where the evaporater suitcase was on the passenger side finished. I'm also going to cut the lower struts plates down on the PB hinges so I can box in the wire gutter like I did on my sons cab. These are lofty goals but I'm going to try my best to get out there for a few hours each night and meet my goal.

**GR8-68** · 03-19-2017, 09:01 PM

You are right these fire walls are ugly creatures, I was just going to leave mine as factory but just could not bring myself to leaving it alone. How hard was it to cut those hinges into the cowl ?

It was very easy. I had about 2 hours from start to finish.

Well that is not to bad, I think I need to put those on my grocery list

Bennett68C10 · 03-20-2017, 08:16 AM

Looks great Mike, I'm not looking forward to shaving my firewall

**Advanced Design** · 03-20-2017, 08:49 PM

Nice work on the firewall. You are moving along very quickly with the project!

DeepOceanStepside · 03-20-2017, 10:13 PM

Looking good! So are you going to cut down the bed to a swb or buy a different one?

I really want to send the original bedsides to Kyle at C10Acres. He has that process down to a science.

DeepOceanStepside · 03-20-2017, 11:16 PM

Awesome!! Is such a good looking truck and it's cool to try and save the original paint!

preacher anthony · 03-21-2017, 01:50 PM

How do you contact him?

MMcMasters · 03-21-2017, 02:25 PM

I have no idea.. I follow him on IG, so when the time comes, I will try to DM him there I guess.

mcbassin · 03-22-2017, 08:50 AM

Very nice work on the cab! I like the firewall treatment and the PB hood hinges.

MMcMasters · 03-23-2017, 11:41 PM

I finally was able to get out in the shop tonight. I finished the large panel on the passenger side and began repairing the bad spot on the core support under the battery tray. I'm going to put some hours in this weekend and knock a big chunk of this out.

It's definitely a pile of work but worth it in the end
