Projects rebuild after crash- 3" section 51 chevy truck

wow man way to step up

 

Keith,
your truck is looking killer. It takes a real man to section one. Keep up the good work

John

 

my garage is clean..... ya know, i do more then park my car in mine....haha(luv ya timmy)

 

thank you john. we are talking bodywork and paint before it goes anywhere this time. how does white sound to you?

 

You cut me deep monzadood, deep.

Keep up the good work!

 

wimbolton white not too white ont too yellow

 

I bought a kit years ago to use when removing door handles. If I still have it (if I can find it) you can have it if you want.

 

Looking good dude!! Your are on our list for the hundred car show , better step on it.
I think you will be done way before Walt gets back on his........

 

actually jim my deadline is gonna be "bubbas spring meet."

 

lookin really nice,when you get done practicing on yours please come do mine . i'm diggin the hell out of yours........................dave

 

bring it over. yours pays me more then doing mine....haha. thanks dude.

 

That was too funny!

 

nice truck,i noticed your a multitasker,muggin for the camera and grinding firewalls at the same time. good deal.

 

How are you gonna trim your doors? Pull the skins down or cut them in the peak?

 

Should you need any more body parts, I know where there are 10 or 12 of those trucks just sitting, rusting away. They're all for sale and they're all in one spot.

 

glad to see you getting 'er back on the road man... did you ever figure out a seat belt configuration? lookin good!

 

looking sweet keith. Cant wait to see it!

 

hey dan. i`m gonna cut the inside of the door without cuttting the skin, slide it up 3 inches and trim the bottom. does that make sense??

 

I think this color would be perfect on that truck. I took this pick this year at the frog follies.

 

Makes perfect sense, just need to see a step by step tutorial. I recently scored an S10 from my nephew and I'm going to put the original cab and bed from Courtland's truck on it now that we've upgraded. We were talking tonight about if it would look stupid unchopped but sectioned.

Anybody seen this on a '54 or another AD truck? We can chop it later once we figure out how to do the corner glass. I've been told things but never seen it where they sink the glass. Can't chop them, they're tempered.

 

So freakin cool. I never get to see anyone or do anything any more so looking at stuff here is all I get these days....

I love it. I have been working on the bug but everytime I fix one leak it springs another. This winter I should get a chance to get it all done. You'll have built a truck, wrecked it, and built a whole new one in the time it took me to fix a few leaks.

 

henry29-- that truck is****y as hell.

danimal--i always try to do the step by step thing but, i usually just go at it and get er done.

scooby--i am looking at being driveable by bubbas or your spring meet. paint is planned for this spring too. its gonna be white. i`m thinking silver roof but, i dunno. money is still really tight.

 

You ruined that truck, you should have restored it!

Chop Chop, Fizz Fizz

 

you kill me aaron...

i will have some more pics this evening. i hope. i should have the doors swinging backwards by sunday..

 

Yes white with a silver top! We'll make it happen

 

Glad to see a fellow hoosier kickin'**** and getting stuff done rather than hanging his head...truck's looking great...

3 inches of the bottom of the outside skin




3 inches out of the inside

 

Looks like you could have let it rust a little bit longer and had 3" off the bottom! I've got a set just like that if you want something worse to start with! Maybe I'd best do them first to practice on.

I need some more of those sawzall blades, too!

 

they were actually the best doors that i had...don`t forget where we live... haha

the ticket to keeping the cuts straight with the sawzall is clamping a straight peice of angle where you cut. it makes for a good guideline. i actually used a cut-off on most of this door.
