Here are some pics at the early stages of tear down.

 

Motor is mounted and grill and radiator are mocked and tacked and the hood is test fitted, steering box/column mounted, battery tray is potsied in and some of the paint is buffed. Good start, 2 more weeks and lots to do..
One more pic before I retire.

 

I'm diggin' it! Looking damn good!

 

Man those were a couple of marathon days! still a TON to do, but the motor is in! It barely fits..... Kail and Potsie are rulers! Thank you guys!

Next big hurdle is the rear..... I have an old chrome banjo.... I need to get it sorted out and convert it back to closed drive.... then we need to shorten the torque tube and drive shaft.... hopefully we can get that in this week.... and then its all just connecting dots with wires and lines......

On the paint I just used some rubbing compound and the buffer.... hit it pretty hard.... works good and is pretty easy..... It will look pretty cool all shined up!

 

Great work guys!!! That olds looks like it's stuffed right in there and I love the fact that you're going with a banjo with the torque tube. Mmmmm, chrome banjo.....tasty.

Let me know what rubbing compound you used. I never buffed anything before but my '35 could use it to brighten up the old red paint on it.

 

No..... we had to set back the engine..... so everything is off from stock.... I just need to get it in there and measure.... thanks though.

 

When you get finished with the truck just send it my way......

 

Wow, Bob, you guys are doing a great job. Can't wait to see this thing finished. It looks awesome.

Good luck, and keep thrashing on it.

 

Thats what I did to my 41, got some 3M rubbing compound and laid into it with a buffer. Turned out great for shitty 50 year old paint. Your pickup is looking mean, and that Olds will be rad. Mines all bark with no bite.

 

Bob, Truck is looking great dude....RED, WHITE & BLUE ....USA all the way.
Keep us all posted...signed up for the home strech run.

 

Looking good man.....I have no doubt that you will pull it off.

 

Hey you need to help.......

 

Man, that's sweet , Bob, And the 3 window is going to be killer! I hate you.............in the nicest way, of course

 

Neat! Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

 

LOL see what you did ..bring your scissors if you're coming by the shop please...

 

go man go

 

Like very mucho!!

 

It began with donuts, it must end with donuts....mmmm, donuts.

Keep crackin, looks awesome

Cheers,

Drewfus

 

Bleeds the man !!!! I love this truck !

 

Damn, wish I would have ran down while in TX over the holidays, I would have loved to have help ya out! Looks great, can't wait to see it finished.

 

Ill swing by tomorrow after I get off work...

 

Ruler!

 

Bobs a bad ass for sure. Go ahead, look up 'bad ass' in the dictionary. A picture of Bob will undoubtedly be found nearby.

 

Sunday was slow... Blew out my back.... But me and Laura took some funny pics for a Christmas card....

 

Back feels better and we are back at it..... Mark ford came to help and is working on the rear....

 

Someone once told me that trucks aren't hotrods!! Looks gay! Oh but the truck is nice!
