That would be nice. I won't be able to make that this year. This band is booked... I hate it when one hobby interferes with the other!

Maybe next year...

I think it used to be in Colo. Springs, but they moved it up to Loveland a couple years ago. I don't get why they did...??

Just got caught up with your thread. Nice going Hoser. Your so lucky to have your wife helping you with her truck.

Well, I started working on it again last night...no pics though. I finally was able to get it to the shop. Fred fixed the rust on the inner fenders, so I got those put in a painted the firewall. I will be going back to the shop this evening to do some more work. I have the camera in the truck, so I'll snap some pics and post them tomorrow.

I picked up some new chrome engine pulleys and alt. bracket today, those will go on tonight, the radiator is also ready to go fresh out of the radiator shop.

I hope to have it running by the end of the week.

Remember their mantra: "Without photos - reality means nothing."

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:40 AM

Yes, the rust is was on the front tips of the inner fenders. Fred works magic with metal. He used a donor set to "make" his own patches. He cuts out the rusty area and pieces it back together with pieces cut out of another. Comes out pretty nice...

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 09:58 AM

Sounds good. Can't wait for the pics.

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 09:58 AM

Oops. Posted the same time as you.

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:57 AM

Here are some pics...

This is how I got the truck to the shop...

One project pulling another...

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 09:59 AM

Then, after I backed the trailer into my 'assigned' work area at the shop, I bolted on the inner fenders freshly patched by Fred... I have no detailed shots of the patched area at this time, but I'll post some later...

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:01 AM

Undercoated the fender wells....

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:03 AM

Then after a quick 'scuff and shoot' of the inner panel of the radiator support, we bolted that in...and did a little touching up...

jason65 · 05-20-2009, 10:06 AM

I bet your woman was happy.

283 Man · 05-20-2009, 10:08 AM

4dranch · 05-20-2009, 10:22 AM

Dang Joe.
Ask and you shall receive on your build thread.

Ask for an update and you delivered.

Truck is looking sharp. Love that color.

You had me worried parked so close to what looked like a good drop off in the first couple of pictures.

65panelrat · 05-20-2009, 10:34 AM

MacAttack · 05-20-2009, 10:38 AM

Thats a pic that makes me want to load up the saddle bags and head for the sunset.

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:06 AM

Time for the hood....

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:08 AM

After a cleaning and oiling one of the hood hinges, a few adjustments were made and the hood closes 'cherry'....

jchav62 · 05-20-2009, 10:16 AM

Today, Fred will be patching the fenders for us... those will be next...

I'll be leaving work a little early today to get some underhood work... pulleys, wiring, radiator and such...

Hasta manana...

joe231 · 05-20-2009, 12:13 PM
