Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Dan, your gonna have to buy me some new axel straps to put it on my trailer now. Lol

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

LOL... yeah baby... Let me know where the best place is to get them...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

I buy them at Atwoods 2" wide axle straps. We can cover them with towels to secure the chassis when your ready to bring it home.

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Hey Great Mike... I will go take a look at them... Man I need to get some of my stuff sold... I think it should be ready to head to the house in a couple weeks... probably before thanks giving... that is just a guess...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looks great! Is that also going to be the body color?

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thank you for your kind words... In answer to your question the body will be two toned With the Lt Blue in the pictures and White... I am doing it in the Classic stock paint configuration...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

There is alot of forward movement on the Cab today... The panels that needed repaired under the dash are completed... The Cab Divider Studs have been put on...the small pin holes around the windows have been welded up... Both Left and right doors have had the rust repaired so really basically the cab is done and ready for primer... The hood still needs to be fixed...Here are the pics...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looking awesome Dan!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Nice!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Looks great, Dan!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks

thanks... I can't wait to get it home... I really hope it will be back here this weekend...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

the Bed is back on the frame and the cab was pretty much finished up todat with welding in the A/C holes on the firewall preparing for the next step on that for the Vintage Air IV setup...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Your build with it's great story is one of my new favorites! My C 20 will remain a work truck but at times I want to do what you have done. That steering wheel is a class act, putting all aftermarket customs to shame...Clean class all the way, Dan.:chevy:

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks Benner... I really appreciate the kind words.. .

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

The rest of the Cab Modifications have been completed as well as the inside Tailgate release... Cab has been mated back with the chassis and bed... they still need to weld the Antenna hole on the cowl panel and reinstall it... The damage on the hood has been repaired and back in primer... All of this should be installed and aligned by Monday... Hopefully I can get it home by Wednesday so I can start playing with it...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Everything looks super clean, Dan. They're really moving along!

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

thanks Vic... yes they are cranking... I am so ready to get it back home so I can get to work on it...

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Wow your guys are cruising on this. I like the color contrast with your frame and suspension. I'm sure in missed it along the way but what color are you painting the body?

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Hey Scott... thanks... The main Body color will be the light blue that the frame is painted and it will be Two Toned like the factory with white on the roof and below the moldings... I can't wait to get it home so I can "play" with it... LOL

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Great build, what kind of trailing arms did you use? Is the entire suspension ECE?

Thanks

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Starting to really look good Dan .... !

Re: Project "Class Act"
 

Thanks Tommy... it is all starting to slowly come together... Once it gets back here to the house alot of the work will come to a halt while I rebuilt the ole cash supply... This ran me about 2500.00 more than budget... I should have just bought a Miller Welder and done it myself...
