Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I didn't take any pics of how I put this all together, but thought I should show the finished version. I wanted a stereo in the truck, but wasn't putting it under the seat or cutting a hole in the dash. So this was my idea... I'll build a panel behind it when I'm at that point, but you can see where it's going. I used a 12" hinge I picked up at OSH, took the ashtray back off, glued the front on where it was even with the front of the cover. Ashtray handle opens it. I even used some washers to kick out the bottom of the glovebox, so it was even with the other door. Here you go...

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
If you like that mod, just wait until you see what he's done lately to the rest of the interior. You guys are going to flip.
That's all I'm going to say for now................

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Anybody have some original gauges converted to 12 volt, they want to sell? Mine are way too tired and 6 volt to boot! I need to keep with the old hot rod theme. Brad

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I'll finish shooting the chassis this week, but I shot a bunch of parts yesterday!
 A lot of the smaller stuff is painted and in a box, but the bigger stuff is looking good for a bunch of old crap! I sand blasted everything nice and clean, shot a coat of metal etch primer on them and then sprayed it with some Eastwood ceramic semi-gloss chassis black. They now have a nice egg-shell sheen going on. I need to put the bushings in and hopefully this Sunday (Bakersfield Hot Rod Reunion is on Saturday... Be There!!!!) I'll start assembling the frame. I'm still shooting for Christmas time to be done...

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
"The Wipers!" I need to mount them up, just so I can shut you guys up! LOL Anyway, I drew up my pattern on Corel Draw to match the one I'd bent up. I shot it over to a friend of mine to cut it out on his laser and haven't gone by to pick it up yet. I guess I need to get it and mount it up, so everyone has an idea of how this works! Sorry I've taken so long by getting side-tracked on the rest of the truck!!! Brad

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
My friend Alex had a cool idea of what to use to fill up the old gas tank spout. He said a piston would look *****in' if you could find one that size. So after checking the spout with calipers and doing the metric check (easier to find pistons that way) I came out with 60.5mm. I went to ebay and typed in 62mm so I could make it tight enough not to leak and found a brand new '69 CB750 Honda piston for $19 w/free shipping! Now I need to make a mount that uses the wristpin and that's all done. I'm having way too much fun!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
The piston head would be a cool place for the "soda" opener, too.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I don't see a bottle opener in my future (hey I drink Bud Light...twist off!) A bit of advice for all you gearheads out there. I traded an old jet ski years ago for a parts washer and a STEAM CLEANER and that thing has been one of the best things I've ever scored! I was using it tonight and that thing kicks ass! I also did some wheeling and dealing for a cabinet sand blaster (full of aluminum oxide) and those 2 things are the best investment I ever made for working on cars and trucks! Just a thought...

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I am hoping to pick up a first series 55 shortly and your build is very motivating. I have alot more time and ideas than cash so your idea is right on in my book. Thanks for posting pics. Great work so far.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Frame is sandblasted and painted! All the little pieces were blasted and painted and A-arms have new bushings and ball joints. It's starting to look like a frame again!
  Still not spending a bunch of money (about $175 in paint and metal etch primer. And around $250 for all new front bushing and ball joints) just taking my time and doing it right! I'm a HUGE believer in RED Locktite on any suspension or frame piece, blue on everything else. It's a little dusty, but you can see that the semi-gloss black works good on all the underside stuff.
