Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
if that is your frame the cab is sitting on you want to beef up that crossmember that has a piece cut out.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
57 chevyman- regarding your damaged paint- speaking as an insurance professional, I would suggest you go thru your own insurance company. You will initially have to pay your deductible, but you will probably have more control in choosing where you want to get it fixed. Explain the custom paint situation to your claim representative- he may be more than glad to have you handle where it goes for repairs under the circumstances. Once your company collects back the repair cost from the other company, you will get your deductible $ back.
If you go thru the other guys business insurance, there's a real good chance they will direct you to the shop of THEIR choice and no guarantee of the results, and your stuck with it..

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I made a "die" for my patch panels I will make for the cowl. I cut out one side and had plans to just hammer it out but then remembered the drivers side was rusted even worse to I thought I would make this "die" out of 12 gauge sheet to hammer the line into them.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Attempted to start stripping the paint off. I found it this thing has had at least 4 primer/paint jobs, original color appears to have been white. I tried using 80 grit and went through about 8 sheets and only really cleared about 2' of the top of one fender and that area by far appears to be the 'easiest' to strip

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I drove mine for the first time! Bought it a few months ago not running and finally got it going! Been 15 years since it had been on the road according to the previous owner...
Still several bugs to shake out but it drove! Also moved it to the garage so I can work on it more. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
made the brackets for the sending unit on the transmission.
the sender powers the gear shift indicator. Also made an oil pressure piece to hold the classic instruments sending unit. Machined it from 6061 aluminum.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Started the rust repair on the other rear fender(not as bad as the last one). By the way, found an old dive weight, works great as a dolly!
