The starting point of the frame. It's from Art Morrison. No it's not a pro streeter.

Check out my doors in the above pic. They will have one piece glass with no filler piece. One of the things that was required was the switch the upper hinge to the lower.

pretty hard to tell what is going on here but it is the new window channel in the front of the door and the brace for it.

Brad,
This looks great. Keep us posted. If you do much of this, you know how hard it is to hold pices in place for welding. The magnets in computer hard drives are powerful. I had one go out last year and took it apart to see what was inside. I noticed how powerful the magnet was and took it out. It made two pieces and I use them regular. I am looking for a couple more.

Thanks for the compliments.
Nope.....no door handles. If it were to have door handles it would be the vette style ones for shure. |

What did you do to that door? Lol. J/k. The door makes the truck kinda resemble one of those new SSR's from GM. I really like the work you're doing to your truck. And d@mnit, great minds think alike, I've been thinking about Corvette handles for like ever. But now, I think, I'ma go for Malibu rear door handles. No locks.

Hey brad, where's all this taking place? A corner of the work shop or home???? I like the retractable roof pics posted in classic trucks a while back but felt it would be too impractical, the idea was cool because of the look of the roof & windshield/cowl laid back. Looks like BearClaws for the latches....is that just to clean up the jambs? I've been considering them for my 67(I think the stockers are kinda bulky).
Anyhow, sweet...very sweet.
