Today, Fred will be patching the fenders for us... those will be next...

I'll be leaving work a little early today to get some underhood work... pulleys, wiring, radiator and such...

Hasta manana...

Dang Joe.
Ask and you shall receive on your build thread.

Ask for an update and you delivered.

Truck is looking sharp. Love that color.

You had me worried parked so close to what looked like a good drop off in the first couple of pictures.

right on!!!

your getting close!!!

jchav62 · 05-21-2009, 02:33 PM

Put in a few more hours on the truck yesterday. I cleaned, painted and installed the clutch fan, took care of the wiring that I could under the hood(missing the park light harness)... Meanwhile, Fred was at work patching the fenders (got one done and the other about 80% done) while Lisa sanded his car. Brother and Sister trading work... I was slacking on the picture taking yesterday, but here's a few...

4dranch · 05-21-2009, 02:56 PM

DUUUUDE LOOKING GOOD

jchav62 · 05-28-2009, 09:28 AM

Thanks for all the comments guys! That's some pretty funny stuff...

Last week was a pretty stressful, busy week... We tried our a$$es off to get the truck ready for the Rumblers show that was in Albuquerque on 5/23. I was taking off early from work and putting in late nights at the shop...

On last Thursday, I finished bolted up fender to get the front end complete...

jchav62 · 05-28-2009, 09:31 AM

Later on that evening my woman and I had to go to a class at church to baptize her neice. When we got back to the shop, the guys had made room for us inside the shop. They let us use a lift to finish up the things on the bottom (exhaust, tranny lines, linkage, etc.)...

That calls for a beer...

joe231 · 05-28-2009, 09:32 AM

I bet the woman is excited, eh?

oops sorry, didn't mean to post in the middle...

jchav62 · 05-28-2009, 09:36 AM

I'm not sure exactly what was done the rest of that evening...it's all a ball of mush in my mind already!

I do remember doing some work under there though.

Then, before we left for the night, Fred and I decide to try to pound a dent on the side of the bed. We did the best we could with the tools we had available at the time...a hammer and a block of wood...

It was worth a shot...it ended up better then what it was...

jchav62 · 05-28-2009, 09:39 AM

Also, here's a pic of Fred's fender patches...

For those of you's wondering about the rust on the doors... the P.O. had put house insulation in the doors as a sound deadener...either that or he was cold... Anyhow, that was the results....we should all learn from his mistakes...

jchav62 · 05-28-2009, 09:44 AM

I went back to the shop early on Friday (my day off) and got a lot done in the time I had. I failed to take pictures that day. I had a lot on my mind, so the camera stayed in the truck all day. Anyhow, that day, Lisa's brother, Mario, ran the tranny cooler line and plumbed in the tranny cooler. He also helped me with the misc. trans parts... the detent cable, vacuum line, and the shift linkage. Later on, I got the pipes prepared for welding.

We also put the pretty new chrome on the front end... (pics of that would've been nice!)

I worked on it until about 4 o'clock until I had to go... the band had a gig that night at one of the local casinos. I had to get ready for that.
