Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Thursday, December 8, 2016
The truck is nearing tear down so the frame and smaller components can go to the blaster for powder coating. I'm not welding shut miscellaneous holes in the frame. I considered it but it's not intended to be a "show" truck (even though I have gotten carried away with some things). I hope it looks very nice anyway and i'm only trying to please myself.
To Do List:
- Clean up exhaust manifolds of unused flanges, etc.
- Weld 1 or 2 plugs into floor holes
- Install gas pedal
- Mount foot-operated parking brake
- Minor changes to radiator/fan guard for better fit
- Install drop down stainless battery box under passenger side of cab
Looking like I'll pick up the frame next Friday and take it to the blaster/powdercoater. I'll take the body back to the body shop the same day.
