[Ta2Don]

Looking Good Sig!

So glad I got to meet you at Clem's and see your Gramp's truck in person!

[clemdaddy]

its great that you are back at it.
steering wheel is really nice and so is the rest of the interior.

let me know when you start thinking about the seat covers, got a good source over here.

[sigshooter]

Thanks, I have already been thinking on the seat.... Hoping you might hook me up with your guy and he would give me a good deal.
I know you scooped up the rest of that material on the green truck, does he have anything else similar laying around?

Today was a good day, I removed the high hump and got the low hump test fitted.

Here is the old stuff out

[sigshooter]

And the new low hump going in.....

For those intersted the high humps bolt in for trans removal, I have found several 1963's that have a bolt in low hump.... 1963 is the only year I have found the bolt in low hump. You will still need to change the firewall piece but it is a lot easier with the bolt in low hump, and alot less welding

I decided to take off the passenger door and do some work on it in the garage. After I took off the door I sprayed lube on the hinges and worked them back back and forth, to my suprise the lower pin snapped off in my hand! sure glad it did it with the door off.

Truck is looking good! Yeah I haven't pulled the rear axle cap off yet and after seeing your I am afraid to! Love the ol 6 banger in there!

[chad64chevy]

looks good, I like interior, really like the boltin low hump! you'll get a few people wanting that high hump you took out

[XLCOR_65]

I love everything about your truck, man. Glad you are able to enjoy it. I really wish I had my grandfather's old 65 because I would do exactly what you are doing. Keep up the great work!

Well I started on the Big Window Conversion, I started inside and started cutting away the old small window panel so, and then moved to the outside and rough cut the opening for the Big Glass. I did this so I could get to the spot welds better and so I didn't have to drill those around the small glass opening.

I removed a big chunk of metal and then started drilling out the welds on what was left of the small window panel. Once I am done I will test fit the new panel and use panel adhesive across the top and weld the b pillar and across the bottom.

[sigshooter]

Once that was out I started on the inside. I removed both side pieces and the piece along the bottom, I have to finish removing the top piece. I am going at this slow so I don't distort the headliner piece any. I will test fit the new panel and install it.

[Ta2Don]

Very Nice!!!

[Jeff La]

Great way to go and save some time.

[Lugnutz65]

OK Sigshooter, show us how it's done. I might try it after all. If I can find a donor.

[sigshooter]

Too bad you didn't live closer, I have 3 and I know where some more are in scrap yards

Don't worry. I have a talent for finding whatever I need. Literally, just about anything. I just let go of a 1963 BBW SWB FS that was $500. I just couldn't take on another project.

I did not see anyone ask about these parts.

I see you took these off, I am interested in them if they are for sale?

If not could you get me a set?
Or
Anyone out there have these for sale?

Let me know, Thanks.

[sigshooter]

Sorry mine are already gone

[sigshooter]

Got to spend some time on the truck today, I got the low hump firewall piece welded in and seam sealed

[sigshooter]

Started test fitting the inner panel today, it looks like it is going to fight me all the way

[Ta2Don]

You got this!!!

[sigshooter]

I got it fitted, I will remove and fit it a couple times to ensure it is spot on. I will post another pic later tonight
