Great progress. I know that photo of the fender over the wheel will be enough to keep the fire going on this build.

Another project off of my punch list this morning. I got the PB hood hinges done. It was super simple but Nate's products are so well made they just fall into place.

**GR8-68** · 03-18-2017, 07:21 PM

Looks great, I want to do the porter built hinges also

cknfrmr · 03-18-2017, 09:19 PM

ok my eyes are now burning from binge reading your build. you have a lot of time and hard work invested for sure. looking good. bout had a heart attack when saw that pic of all those parts left in front of your garage.

Looks great Mike, I'm not looking forward to shaving my firewall

**Advanced Design** · 03-20-2017, 08:49 PM

Nice work on the firewall. You are moving along very quickly with the project!

DeepOceanStepside · 03-20-2017, 10:13 PM

Looking good! So are you going to cut down the bed to a swb or buy a different one?

I really want to send the original bedsides to Kyle at C10Acres. He has that process down to a science.

preacher anthony · 03-21-2017, 01:50 PM

How do you contact him?

MMcMasters · 03-21-2017, 02:25 PM

I have no idea.. I follow him on IG, so when the time comes, I will try to DM him there I guess.

DeepOceanStepside · 03-20-2017, 11:16 PM

Awesome!! Is such a good looking truck and it's cool to try and save the original paint!

mcbassin · 03-22-2017, 08:50 AM

Very nice work on the cab! I like the firewall treatment and the PB hood hinges.

MMcMasters · 03-23-2017, 11:41 PM

I finally was able to get out in the shop tonight. I finished the large panel on the passenger side and began repairing the bad spot on the core support under the battery tray. I'm going to put some hours in this weekend and knock a big chunk of this out.

It's definitely a pile of work but worth it in the end

Thanks Mike

**GR8-68** · 03-24-2017, 04:57 AM

That firewall looks great so far

Lorne · 03-24-2017, 11:15 AM

Mike the firewall is looking great, I will bring mine by soon lol.

MMcMasters · 03-24-2017, 12:26 PM

I'm not telling none of you guys where I live

Lorne · 03-25-2017, 09:47 AM

Mike the fuel lines look awesome and I will be looking into them when I get there on my truck. Still waiting on that invite to come see it hahahaha��

MMcMasters · 03-25-2017, 08:55 PM

Nothing I plan ever seems to work out. I didn't manage to get anything done this week. I need to drop a bunch of little stuff and the core support off at powder coat Monday so today I finished up the mods on the core support and repaired the rusty area under the battery tray.

I ground all of the plug welds, once its blasted and powder coated the repair should disappear. I'm pretty happy I was able to save the original.

It's a long drive for ya, but come on

**GR8-68** · 03-26-2017, 03:47 AM

Nice work on the support, and love the fuel lines I will be looking into those also

MMcMasters · 03-26-2017, 10:55 AM

I knocked a little project out this morning on the truck. After moving the fuel tank out of the cab and not wanting to paint the truck, I wanted a simple way to fix the hole left by the factory tank filler neck. I found a universal filler neck and cut it down. I figured I should probably make a block off plate just in case someone other then me was driving and wasn't "thinking" and they stop for fuel.

**GR8-68** · 03-26-2017, 05:54 PM

You could use it to hide a spare key

kehstr · 03-26-2017, 05:53 PM

I'm going to do the EXACT same thing on my truck! Where did you find the fuel filler?
