I got a heater box for the 38. I think we will Make a speaker box out of it....As we dont need a heater much down here.

That's a pretty good idea.

About ready to head to Starks.

We found Doug Ice(Falcon Eddie) floating around the yard.

Jeff leading the way to all the treasures.

Not much left in that old yard but I did find a few things.

NOW THAT IS GARAGE ART

outstanding!

I haven't touched the truck in a few days. When Corey got put in the hospital I had other things on my mind. Mainly making sure my boy was ok. Here are a few pics I didn't get to post before he was put in there. I'll be back on it soon. Other than playing nurse Daddy and taking him to the docs I'll be wrenching away.

The gals sanding the inside down.

The door jig I came up with. It works pretty good for a home made bunch of junk.

They got tired after all that sanding

Tossed a socket on it to keep the garbage out of the heim joint.

Aryan and me started putting the fenders back on. He looks tired doesn't he.

I also got the transmission cross member made and installed. I was in the middle of getting the rearend in it when I got the call that Corey was in the ER. So there's where I left off. More to come.

LOOKING GOOD. GLAD TO HEAR HE IS ALRIGHT AND MADE IT HOME.

So, awesome project, but wheres the T that you were building/built?

Next to it.

oh lol. I'll have to actually make it down to your garage soon after all the crazyness calms down talk shop and check stuff out!

Cool.

Work is a little slow but thought I'd try to get the back glass in.
Seal is in the window.


Rope was used to pull the seal out. I have done this a few times. It didn't work to good with this seal.


I had it close but the seal was moving all ovet the place. Sami came out to help.

After being careful not to break the glass I pushed a little too hard and shoved the glass through the cab. My hands were cover with hot soapy water and I could not hold on to it. Sami and I were both grabbing for it to keep it from hitting the cab floor and busting. After playing slip and slide for a few seconds she got a good grip on it and saved it.

Amy showed up. I had to take a second to get my mind back on focus but the second time we got it in the seal.




Now for the hard part. These have a locking trim piece that goes around the seal. What a pain.

I was right here when Amy came out to tell me Corey wasn't doing well. Back to the hospital.

Back glass all the way in.


Couple pics I took. I got this steering wheel from Johnny a while back for Aryan's car. I think I'll use it.

Out of all the body parts I think the hood is getting the most done to it.
Side and front emblems shaved, center welded together, peeked, louvered and a rebraced.
