Yes, we had all new glass cut. It took me 3 months to build a new crank out windshield frame.

Building a new window frame is something that I would like to see documented here. Any pics of how you managed that?

I have two that I can work with but neither are much to start with. I was thinking that I would just eliminate it but it is such a cool feature that the time spent would be worth it to me!

No pics, I try to give detail in another thread.

Are you hands on , do it yourself kind of man ?

68panelman · 02-20-2012, 10:48 PM

Sure am Mundo. I don't like other people workin on my stuff, Even my newer vehicles. I always figured if he can do it why can't i?!. as a small child i would take apart brand new toys just to figure out how they worked and put them back together before my parents caught me.

I'm 50YO and I still hear my dad tell a story about how I had the brand new lawn mower completely disassembled in the garage when he got home from work one day when I was about 8. OK, 42 years later and he still tells the story like it was a Bently that I trying to figure out how it worked. I'm thinking that the lawn mower may have never been the same?

mundo · 02-21-2012, 09:48 AM

You know sir, I used to take things apart but unlike you I couldn't put them back together !!!!, Until as of late , things are starting to make sense..
Are you currently building a project ?

68panelman · 02-21-2012, 09:53 AM

Not at this time, I need to get that dump indoors.

mundo · 02-21-2012, 10:11 AM

What are your plans for that dump ? Looks like a solid truck, I have my 46 for sale, just need a reason to keep it !!! lol

yousesteers · 02-21-2012, 09:36 PM

what is your 46 I am kinda looking for one mostly just front clip and cab gonna build a custom flatbed

superauto · 02-22-2012, 09:19 AM

These cars are really old yet nice. They are worth keeping for. There are only few left with this type of car now and I guess no other manufacturers.

hellerlj · 03-10-2012, 03:20 PM

I GUESS IT'S A START ???????????????

Rusty Hooker · 03-25-2012, 03:25 PM

here's Maggie. Been 7 months reassembling her and almost done. Changed the wheels the other day but cant post from my "smart" phone. Tomorrow she gets finished wiring and a good clean up. then off to the muffler shop for some pipes. Yayy

New guy on the block. Here's the ride. Kind of a mix of parts, early 55 cab ? 49 front end. It does a complete C4 suspension, tight SB and a Tremec 5 speed. Lots of fun so far.
