Wheels Day has to be the best £5.00 you get to spend all year and its for charity.

Good to see you guys.

Nicola got a load of sunburn on her face and looks like "Batman"

I managed to spend £55.00 on "Stuff"

Nicola made me buy and wear a Sheriff's badge that says "LICENSED JUBK COLLECTOR"

I guess you did not find another door for your truck.

I will upload a few of Nicola's photos later and post up here if you want???

PS. I noted there were probably about 8-10 Chevy C10's and a GMC.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Well the strip down has started
Last night I ordered my front and rear two inch lowered springs and shocks from Brothers . It worked out better to do a double order with Rian so we could split the shipping . So tonight when I got home from work I started stripping the front off .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Nice move Ace !!!!!

I give you Exhibit A

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps9e2e18f0.jpg


How do you plead?? :chevy:


Thanks for ordering our shocks n springs.

I guess for the American readers we need to put things in perspective.

Just on combining shipping, we save about $110.00 to the UK.

I do not remember the total price you paid, but once we have landed the parts, it comes to about $730.00 once import duty and tax is added for the parts, so about $182.00 or in English money £107.00 per corner.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Doesn't look like the M5 will be moving much anytime soon... Trucklock, not gridlock...:haha:

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Once I strip the truck down to the chassis I will be sending it off to get sand blasted . I will then be able to move the mx5 if I need to ok RIAN The trouble is I have the Mondeo estate and my Mercedes convertable to use and two bikes so the mx5 has just been put on the back burner . I do need to move it on though so yes I should have got that finished before starting the truck

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Nothing like keeping an eye on you buddy, while I do not get on with all thr half finished space wasters in my garage, like the bikes, mobility scooter etc.

Shout if you need a hand.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Well what a busy weekend
Saturday I went over to Essex to collect my replacement bumper from the importers . When I ordered my front fenders and front bumper the bumper got damaged in transit . So the importers STS in Essex ordered me a replacement . One of the lads had dropped it when they unloaded the container , but they put there hands up and admitted they had done it and replaced it . So I got a new one and Rian got to purchase the damaged one . It's nice to deal with Ron the owner of STS as they didn't argue or blame the couriers that brothers used to send it to them , they just ordered me a replacement at there cost .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Sunday Rian popped over as I needed a push with the truck and a hand to put my new front screen somewhere safe . But as usual when he pops over a small job becomes a lot bigger job . I was going to put the glass in my garage on the shelf but there wasn't enough room for it . So Rian suggested making a shelf in the car port . So off to the local diy store to purchase the timber needed .
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps4c3efb29.jpg
We then made a shelf to put the screen onto for safe keeping

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps94f24900.jpg

Then we made a second set of supports to put the screen up higher leaving the large shelf for storage

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...psd42f8ad4.jpg

Once this was all finished we then could get on with the truck

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

After getting the screen safe myself and Rian stripped some more off the truck

As usual my dogs want to help

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps4be09d2c.jpg

Just to show how much room I have to work in

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...ps3c93a65b.jpg

Thats both sides stripped and pushed back under cover

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
 

Once the truck was put away and Rian had gone home . I decided to finish of the car port to keep the rain out at the shelf end . I had some of the roof material left so I used it to block in above the fence panels
