Hey Folks,
Sorry for being gone so long, i guess it's time to fill you in.
The truck was street legal and driving by June of 2019, with plenty of problems to sort out. (it might have caught fire once.) We're finally getting to a place where it's comfortable to drive regularly, and I might have gotten my dad a 52 gmc suburban, and myself a 1969 F*RD flat bed tow truck. We'll see how many posts it takes to get up to speed.
So at this point, in early march of 2019, I'm still finnicking with the altman door latches. i found out one of the bolts on the passenger side actually hits the paddle, preventing the door from opening properly. So far, i still haven't clearanced the paddle or found a bolt that will clear. I'm planning on eventually welding those plates in...when I have time.
My dad and I were planning on using the original seat frame and had that beautiful leather cut and stitched to fit the frame, but hadn't gotten around to adding foam and securing it to the frame.
And finally, that's the overall look in March in my workshop.
