Got the new dash cluster and glove box cut out today

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Here is the back side of the glove box, I put a spot for the SPID and the drink circles:)

Here is a shot with the gauges in

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Got most of the interior out and got all the guts out of the doors.

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

With the nice weather, I got the inner fenders and core support painted.

Also fully stripped the cab, no rust and will be all original gm metal. Even the window channels don’t even have a start if rust.

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Been really busy with work. Got the cab all ready for media blasting. There were holes from a cb, aftermarket gauges, switches, dual fuel tank switch, old floor shifter hole from my youth, and several firewall holes from an aftermarket a/c.

Got the cab off, started tearing the front end off

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Got the frame sandblasted and primed, about a dozen more parts, and I can start re assembly 🎉

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Got the cab back from the media blaster, got it blasted inside and out and epoxy primer.

All gm metal, now the hard work begins

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Finally had time and decent weather to paint the frame, I can start reassembly soon!

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Very nice job on the truck! I really like your color choice, sort like the original Copper Poly but much darker. Is that your CNC machine in the picture, if so what type?

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Ez-router

It’s amazing what you can do with them

Thank you
Ed

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Nice progress- you’re doing it right

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Thanks tigger,

I have been swamped with work and haven’t been on here or the truck.
Finally spent a few days on her and I am back on 4 wheels!

I put cpp dropped spindles and drop rear springs.

Now I need to get the engine tranny and brake lines in.

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Well after a long hiatus due to a heart attack last year, finally have time to to get back on it, got the engine, trans, and drive shaft installed.

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Good work! Glad to hear you made it through that ordeal alright. One of my best friends had a double bypass last year, and feels so much better now that his pipes have been cleaned out his blood flow is so much better. I hope you can say what he says, "I feel like a new man"... I'll be watching for more updates!:sumo:

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Thank you for the support, it made me realize I better finish this before my family needs to deal with it!

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Got all the engine accessories on, minus carb and distributor.

Pulled it outside a rinsed the dust off. Now I can cover it and get the cab ready to put on

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Looking good !!!! Keep the pictures coming & the progress going forward & keep on truckin'.:metal:

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Thanks, I had a hiatus for health, and am feeling really good and getting more enthusiastic on it

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Cab is getting close for paint and install in the frame,
Inside and top is block sanded and ready for paint.

Made a cart to get it off the ground so I can get the bottom half block sanded and then paint!

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Getting paint on the cab and it back on the frame is such a big motivator. Glad you are still working on it.

Re: Project High School Reunion
 

Yep, gotta finish it this year. It is so close, all the body panels are in primer, so once the cab is done it should go faster, there is a lot of real estate on the cab to prep.

Thank you for the support

After several weeks of sanding, finally got the cab painted and ready to put it back in place
