In just 9 months....
...my truck has gone from streetable to questionable. It hasn't gone as I wanted it to go, but I suppose change can be progress even if it is questionable. Here's a couple pix. I "drove" it this morning but don't assume it was complete when I did. Nevertheless, it was running then and now....
The first picture shows the results of using a non-automotive RTV silicone sealant on an automotive surface. The second picture shows its current appearance. Engine and transmission are next to be removed, then I get to clean off the firewall so the metal guru can wave his magic plasma cutter and MIG wand over them. Yeah, you know it's going slow....

Re: In just 9 months....
Well hey. At least you've got it back now. And it's still progress being minus sheet metal since it has to come off before it can go back together.
Here a while back you asked me if I knew where you might could get that cowl section since yours was bad. If I hadn't checked my messages that morning I would have had one cut out for ya but you said your bud had one. Is this the guy? Oh yeah, I am including this pic for you. Maybe a little inspiration. I think it looks about like how you have described how yours might end up. It has that "California Kid" hot rod look to it. It belongs to a board member but I do not have his name. I dig it!

Re: In just 9 months....
Yeah. I don't know who these 2 trucks belong to but I'd like to see more of them. Louverd hood, flat black n red, red rallys and hot rod trim rings. Wouldn't it be cool if it had a 327 with 3 dueces under that hood and a muncie 4 speed with 4.10 gear? It would be totally bad azz for me.

Re: In just 9 months....
Oh yeah, I love the look of that truck! That's the closest one to my vision that I have seen. I like the '67-8 lower side trim, too....even on a '69-72. Heck, Chip Foose liked it too and put it on a '72(?) that he did for a Marine on Overhaulin'. The louvers really set off the hood. The red bed insides is a touch I wanted but didn't do. The red interior, though is bought, except for getting the colorant to re-color the leather seat I have.
