You can get those thru a local dealer. I would call frontier glass and ask to talk to Sam Slater. He is the owner and see if he can help out. If he can't let me know and I can make a few calls.

Thanks, ddubbs!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hi 198plus. I have asked the instructors to have the students go by the local PPG dealer (Hi-Tec Auto Body Supply Company) to check out color selections so we can have some color codes for you early in the Fall. The school year ends next month here, and I dropped off primer and hardener at the school yesterday. Hopefully over the summer they can narrow down choices. Thanks!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hey, captain. Have not forgotten about your offer. I'll see when they will need brackets. Thanks!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Just let me know.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

:flag:HUGE thanks to ddubbs and Porterbuilt Fabrication: together they are donating front and rear suspension for the project. You guys are AWESOME!!!:truck:

Re: Zane's Ride
 

No problem!!! Glad to help!!!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

I got an email from the auto body instructor today. The kids are working on reinforcing the truck bed to prep it for new wood. He is going to forward photos for me, so I will post pics when I get some.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

We raised over $1200 at the Zane's Ride bake sale last week! How cool is that! This week, I am giving a pizza party to the kids working on the truck to thank them, so I will have pics to post.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

That is awesome!!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Sorry I have not posted for a while!. I have pics from the bake sale and pizza party to post and will probably do that this weekend. My husband does the posting for me, and now he works 6 days a week. He is off Monday, so we will get it done! Also, an update story will be in our local paper soon, and I will post a link so you can see that also.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hey Zanes Mom, my "guy" is working on the glove box badges, it is quite labour intensive for him as he has to draw it all into the program, and it is a gazillion straight lines to get the nice smooth curvy lines! Will get in touch for mailing information once he is done.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Here is the link to the updated article:http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_...a4bcf6878.html

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Very cool article Ellen!! :metal:

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Very nice article, I am forwarding the link to my laser guy who is working on the glovebox badge.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Glove Box Badge is done, needs the edges smoothed, a couple of spots need some attention, PJ couldn't get the material out of the holes on the "s" and the "e", and will need to be carefully polished.

I can put this in the mail if you PM me the address, or if someone else following says, "hey, I can do the smoothing, tweeking, and polishing" I could send it to them. Material is stainless steel. That is a pic of PJ, thanks PJ!!!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

That looks great.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Nice touch Craiger!!!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

That is awesome!! :metal::metal:

Re: Zane's Ride
 

That is perfect! I will PM my address. Please tell your 'guy' I would hug him (and you) if I was there!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

I'll be driving up from Miami on Monday, I'll stop in Cambridge Tuesday/ Wednesday to give him a hug for you. Maybe a fist pump, shake hands? Would you believe a pleasing smile! lol

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Car Wash on July 21 at the school doing the work on the truck; plus a 'mini' bake sale, I think. I will get pics and post them!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! The carwash was a big success - over $600! School starts again on 8/22, so the project can get underway once again. Has the server upgrade been completed? Hope you have all been having a good Summer.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hope your summers been good as well. Looking forward to the next chapter in this build.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hey, all! Sorry it has been so long since I posted; had to wait for the school year to get started again, and the new students to the program had to have shop safety and rules, etc. Restart of the project involves sandblasting and priming the frame, getting ready to clean and rebuild the engine/transmission, and prepare for brake system installation. I also received a donation from a Mining company for $1000! Next, I am going to talk to local businesses about windshield and upholstery, and I am going to have a chili feed in early November. I am going by the school today to see if I can talk to the teachers, and get any other info.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Glad to hear that this is getting going again!!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Did you ever get those badges cleaned up?

A jeweler could easily do that for you and if you can't find one let me know and I will gladly do it for you.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Well, Zanes Mom....
I just spotted this thread after being out of touch fer awhile..

I'm sure sorry we lost your boy....I can tell for sure, by your personality alone....He was a wonderful guy.....and we all would have benefitted from knowing him.

I have tons of hard to find parts, and would love to contribute in any way..
please "PM" me with anything that you are looking for....I would be pleased to help.

BTW...I grew up on a homestead in Kenny Lake.....I miss it like you wouldn't believe.
Even after 40 years.

Once a Sourdough....always a Sourdough..

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Sorry for the hijack Zane's Mom, but A.T. Rockdriller, your message box is full!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Thanks Jason.....I fixed it.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

So I checked on the project today! Have some photos to post this weekend. The frame has been pressure washed, and will be sandblasted and primed/powdercoated. Then work will progress on the brakes and engine rebuild. Paint on bedliner was applied to the cab floor, the bed was squared up, some rust repair has been done. The auto body instructor expects that they will get the truck painted this year, and possibly begin some work on the wood bed. A student in the communications track is going to do a student news report, which will also air on a local tv station (a copy of which I am going to send to Make-A-Wish). Also, after the chili feed I will have more photos to post.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Hey, craigerrr, did you ever get a reply from someone to polish the glove box badge? If not, I can probably find someone local to do it. Let me know. Thanks!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

I have been very busy and I had not seen this thread. It is so great to hear about this project and the wonderful young man who it is a memorial for. I have truely enjoyed reading about this project and seeing how the high school students are getting to build it and put all of the donated parts together. All of you who are helping out, thanks, and God bless you. Zane's Mom, your son would have been a wonderful person to know. Keep up the awesome work fundraising and getting this project to completion.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Thank you, C@rnut001! Working on this project has really helped me deal with losing him, putting the energy into something positive. I am going to post photos from the school and the chili feed in the next couple of days. We raised another $600 on Friday!! You can also check out Zane's Ride on facebook.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Captainfab, we will probably need the brackets this school year, so I will see if I can narrow down a time frame. Thank you.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Just let me know......

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Okay! I just created a paypal account (some of you have asked if I accept donations this way). I had honestly not thought of it before. My email is elliem66@hotmail.com. I have to verify the account link in a day or so. Thank you everyone for your interest and support, and for your collective knowledge and expertise/advice on the restoration! I am very grateful!

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Looks like the gallery is down for maintenance. We will add to the gallery another day. Anyway, my paypal account is now verified. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Trying a photo with this post.

Re: Zane's Ride
 

Think I got it this time. This photo shows the interior of the cab with the floor painted with bedliner.
