Looking good Man...........Ready to cruise when the roads clear up?

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

I'm trying to get it done by then. Or at least for Goodguys Rhinebeck the last week of June..

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Looks awesome!

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Sweet stance!!!

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Little piddly things to report. Doing the rear brakes for the third time.. Didn't realize that there were two different thickness in the shoes. So I pulled the apart and fixed that.

Then, I went to bleed the brakes. One screw broke off and the other stripped.. Off to the parts store to get new wheel cylinders. Trying to get that done at some point.

Had to put a new mini starter in.

Seats are at the upholesters.. Hopefully he gets the lead out. New carpet in.

I have until the 25th of June to get this pig done, so I can take it to Goodguys in Rhinebeck, NY...

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Well this is what I got done on the long weekend. The instructions are ok at best. And it fits really snug. The windows fit like crap..

I put the carpet in and the sill plates. The seats are at the upholesters right now. I have two issues that I'm working on. One is the thermo switch for the electric fan. I tried two different probe style and they didn't work. I now have one that goes in the manifold. See how that works.

The other is the rear brakes. Ive bleed them about 20 times and still get air out of them. So I got a new master cylinder to see how that works...

Nice job Jeff, I'll have to keep up with the build, can't wait to see some inside pics.. If the outside is any indication it will be awsome.

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Awesome build you have done! Were you able to make it to Good Guys with it? How water tight are those tops?

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

I went to good guys, but not with the truck. I still have some minor issues I have to work out. I have to adjust the hood. Install one seat belt and junk like that.

The top isn't completely water tight. There are hole just above the vent windows and you cant close the doors with the window completely up. You have to roll it up under these flaps when to door is shut.

Thanks. I just got the front and it has Porterbuilt trailing arms on it now, but the axle is bottoming out in the C-notch.

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

...did it go lower yet in the bum?

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

So you aren't selling the tub now?

Re: Project: What the heck did I get into???
 

Yea it's still for sale. Kinda waiting to see if it sells. If it does then I will be on the look out forma 67-68 truck. If not I will put the DM in it and finish it. Just feel guilty about cutting a tub this nice for the notches..
