5. Above the message box click this icon
6. In the box right click in the blue and paste
7. You can leave it like that or you can name it by...
8. Once you paste in step 6 and hit OK there will be a blue high lighted area.
9. Start typing the name of your build. The blue will go away and your text will be intered there. Doo not click in the blue before typing.
10. Hit preview and see what it looks like.

Maybe this will help you.

thanks alan, i believe it worked. can you add another thread to the existing signature like where i did the big window conversion? sorry to be so much trouble.

[Alan's Classic]

Yes you can. Did you try to name it so it doesn't show the addresses? Did you do it by yourself? Or did you get a youngster to help.

thanks, i believe it should be tough and the diffrence of the sound of the floorboard when you hit it with your hand on the inside is a dull thud now should be a lot quiter inside.

[McMurphy]

Oh yeah, that looks very nice!
I was looking at the Dynamat for sound deadner as well... I have a Camaro catalog that has a section with all the Dynamat products in it.

Congrats!
I hear you about getting the itch!
We have direct sunlight now until 4pm, so it is light out when I get off work.... soon the snow will be gone as well, in another two or three months....

LOL

thanks McMurphy, i hear the dynamat is really expensive but i have heard there are some products that will do the same thing but like half the price. cant wait till the time change so it will stay light till 9. havnt done anything to the truck trying to get my driveway ready to concrete, hopefully they pour next week and i can get back to work.

Great job on the cab floor. Looks really familiar. I used the same stuff but in black.

Man if I ever get into salvaging and restoring these trucks as a retirement hobby/source of income i am soooo going to make me one of those tilt dollys for the cab... those look just too sweet and handy to ignore!!

Both your cab undersides look great !!

yeah i really liked the dolly also, not sure about getting into restos though i think i will just drive the heck out of mine and call it good

[flips72]

i got one of those wild hairs today,after i kept staring at the floor and it being red and all, well it lead to me going ahead and spraying the firewall so heres a few pics

[C@rnut001]

[chad64chevy]

that looks really good and at this pace you have the rest of the cab and stuff painted in a few days!! good luck with the driveway!!

[nomrlz]

nice! you got some skillz dude

[McMurphy]

Wow that turned out totally awesome!
Soooooo let me guess here, from the pic of the rod tacked on, to the pic showing a smooth door and filled gap you....
... spot welded the rod probably jumping 4 to 6 inches between each tack until it was fully filled top to bottom... then you ground down your welds flush with the door skin .... then some filler? sanding? then primer?

I gotta ask because the trial and error method I been using is eating up more time than is enjoyable any longer, and man your stuff looks fantastic!

[likaroc13]

looks good to me!

[allaboutchevelles]

Looking good flips!! Your moving right along on the cab. Where do you do your painting at? That red is looking good.

[McMurphy]

Heck ya Flips, that is really coming together!

I gotta get down stairs now and do some progress of my own!!

[Alan's Classic]

thanks chad, not sure about the few days part though. hopefully they do my driveway tuesday weather permitting,not sure if they can pour it all in one day though 78 yards of concrete is alot to do in one day.

yeah its starting to come together, i needed a little something to keep me going thats why i sprayed the firewall and i did it myself in my shop. its not super slick but no runs and very little orange peel so i am happy.
