Started working on the barn doors. I want to get the back end all back together. Had to weld on a few new nuts for the bottom latch for the drivers side door. Had to touch up a few broken spot welds and cracks. Just need to patch one bad spot and it will be ready for some POR 15.

Glad to be getting on with the welding. Thank you Kevin for lending me your welder

Found some beauty black walnut for the gauge cluster backing. Picked up some 1/16 lexan to go behind the walnut. Just kind of making it up as I go along. Will get what I got together then will figure out how to mount the gauges and seal it all up.

that walnut is going to pop with a finish on it. looks good.

Very cool build. I'm liking that you're making more of the stuff yourself vs outsourcing. I love seeing people getting their own wheels turning. Subscribed for sure.

Thanks, looking forward to see your custom work with the gauges in your suburban.

AJCK87 · 01-13-2016, 11:46 AM

the gauge cluster turned out just the way I wanted! I was going to install the tach I have but I'm going to hold off, possibly get 2 gauges in there. I was thinking a tach and a fuel pressure gauge to monitor the output of my low pressure fuel pump.

62stepside longbox · 01-13-2016, 11:58 AM

Nice job on the gauges. What are they from?

deejaaa1 · 02-08-2016, 11:45 AM

going to be a great truck.

AJCK87 · 02-09-2016, 11:09 PM

Finally got my own welding gas bottle

and proceeded with the rocker rebuild. Ended up pulling the whole front support, only enough left to give me a hard time. I am hoping to get the passengers side done tomorrow then I will be moving on to the drivers side

Right on, just need settle on a tach. Will be interesting to see how the wait to start indicator will go in. Thinking about incorporating some wood there too

AJCK87 · 02-10-2016, 11:19 PM

More progress on the rocker tonight. This bit was a challenge hahaha

deejaaa1 · 02-15-2016, 01:55 AM

this is MY kind of build.

Beauty! Thanks for the tuning in

AJCK87 · 02-22-2016, 11:06 PM

Started working on the passengers side front fender. Pretty crusty hahaha

AJCK87 · 02-22-2016, 11:15 PM

Some fresh steel! Made a patch panel to replace the rotten bits

AJCK87 · 02-22-2016, 11:20 PM

Started the blending. Will need to spend some more time on getting it nice and smooth.
