At Delmo speed, Its already done! Actually pretty fast, Del said 8 weeks and I expect once he gets on it 100% it will be very close to that.

Delmo builds usually happen so fast that the build threads cant keep up lol

jasonvw · 06-04-2013, 02:22 PM

I know right! Im dying to drive it, but Im also really interested in getting photos of the build to share with everyone so anyone wanting to see how its done in the future can refer to the thread and see whats involved.

Low Elco · 06-04-2013, 03:19 PM

It's Delmo, so 4 days, give or take.

That would be great because at that pace, I would be cruising it this weekend!!!

jasonvw · 06-07-2013, 03:19 PM

Progress!! Del got the cab and bed off and the frame all stripped down and taken apart. Digging the look of the cab all torn down! Im also really happy to see that Gumby is as solid all over as I hoped it would be. The bed looks mint! Here are some pics I got from Del. As you can imagine, Im excited to see the changes happen.

Well its been a busy week for me getting ready for the Big vw show, the VW Classic where I had a new car debuting, but now that the show is over, I can get back to normal. Chassis is at powdercoat and motor is getting ready to be painted. Things are moving right along! Ill get some photos up soon after I resize them all...

Low Elco · 06-11-2013, 04:17 PM

Nice thing about Del, he's done so many of these it's bang bang done!

My truck has a good patina but there is too much rust in the cab and bed to try and live with it, to much time in KS with salty roads in the winter made the floor like Swiss cheese. Love seeing the AZ, TX, and CA trucks that are well worn but not too rusty keeping their original paint. Looking forward to seeing more.

BB72CHEVKT · 06-12-2013, 10:44 AM

Following along. I wish I had the coin to install a Porterbuilt set-up on my original paint SWB.

jasonvw · 06-18-2013, 09:04 AM

Well, Im headed up to Del's today to pick up some parts and check out the progress. I will have some new photos later on to share. Exciting!

xxlf250 · 07-01-2013, 12:23 PM
