That looks good, how are you going to attach the cover?

8 - 10/32 button heads with a harbor freight tie down for handle. Will have remote posts for charging and jumping.

The idea was stolen from Kabwe! He just used a original style 47-54, but they are expensive and I need 2 of them.

what are you doing about the doors?

Sorry Waybad, Didn't see the question. I'm going to use 4 doors to make 2. That way theres only 1 seam to weld. Like Wickid54 did to his 1954.

Wickid's build

Well it's taking awhile to find time for the truck but we finished the floor, except for the trans cover extension, but we need the seats in to see about a console first. Tuesday the roof?

Kim57 · 04-22-2013, 02:01 AM

Nice.
Kim

**shadow1967** · 04-23-2013, 09:09 PM

We installed a piece of 1x1 by15" square tube inside as backing and strength for the door frame. OK so one side done, one to go then skinning.

_Ogre · 04-24-2013, 12:52 PM

i missed your post where you miss sliced the ham

nice work on the cab stretch, i so wish i had done that
figured it would add a yr to my 8 yr build

i met this guy 2 yrs ago on the hrpt, his front doors were stretched 6''
he also pancaked the roof 2'', not suggesting you do that (do it, do it

)

waybad · 04-24-2013, 04:26 PM

I saw this at the power tour, I didn't notice that her widen the doors!! cool!

**shadow1967** · 04-25-2013, 08:09 PM

Got the skin ready. First pic is the fancy tool used to form the ends.

_Ogre · 04-26-2013, 12:49 PM

looks good shadow

fancy tool?

**shadow1967** · 04-26-2013, 06:56 PM

Dad pre-fit the passenger half today. Will be tacking and tiging tomorrow.

Kim57 · 04-26-2013, 09:23 PM

That is a real slick set up. Looks good.
Kim

**shadow1967** · 07-04-2013, 01:20 PM

Well we're back! Been busy. So here we are today to update. We got the 2005 Silverado seats to fit. Mounts made and seat bolted and operational. Finishing the trans tunnel and driver side floor to mount steering and reposition the brake pedal.

Kim57 · 07-04-2013, 04:27 PM

Nice.
Kim

**shadow1967** · 07-05-2013, 11:37 AM

We have to finish welding the floor, now that the last piece is made til we remove cab from frame to make the firewall.

Kim57 · 07-05-2013, 12:52 PM

Looks good.
