Got my door hung and aligned. I ended up replacing the lower hinge as it was too far gone to rebuild. Was able to re-use the original upper hinge....
I pulled my driver's door off to rebuild the hinges, then decided that now was as good a time as ever to replace the cab steps. Both steps have...
Awesome Video!!

Thanks Greener200! Its been slow going but I'm finally starting to feel like I'm making progress.
I notched the cross member for driveshaft clearance. Used a piece of PVC to mock up the driveshaft. [ATTACH]
This is an awesome build thread!! I wish my 59 turned out this nice the first time I built it. Drug it home when I was a 17 year old kid, still...
I made a big step forward.. Finally got the notch and 4 link done during the holidays. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Great progress. I'll be following.
Nice. I will be running some 15 x 7 black 5 spokes and thin whites when I finally get my truck back on the road.
Very cool! Are the Cragars and the thin whites staying? One of my favorite wheel and tire combinations..
Small update: I found a 2" Bosch electric temperature gauge that I could cut up and complete my gauge cluster to go along with my modified volt...
Looks great! Stance is right on!!
Great looking truck! Really like the changes you made to made to make it more traditional ( tailights and steering wheel )
Just found your thread. Great Car! I ran a 261 inline 6 in my truck the first time I built it, now I've got a 327 Chevy out of a Canadian Pontiac...

Great progress!!
Great to see your Cameo being put back together.

Awesome, awesome thread!! Excellent fabrication work. I love the 327. I'm in a similar boat, been on the HAMB for a long time but only started a...
Great progress! Looking good.
I'm been working on mocking up my transmission crossmember. I'm using a kit from Welder Series that will let me unbolt the middle so the...
Been following your build on another board. Great thread, awesome truck!!
I put the core support and rad back in to check clearance with the fan. The fan lines up right in the center and I have 1 1/2 inches from the fan...
I dropped my engine and transmission in so I could start figuring out what I want to do for a transmission crossmember. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Next, I cut out a piece of 12 gauge sheet metal for a floor plate. I used a aftermarket chrome column floor mount.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm using a 78 Chevy van column, it is column shift and fits in the stock column drop. I also like that it does not have a key so I can keep my...
When I welded up all the holes in the firewall, I also made a mounting plate for my new fuse block that I mounted high on the drivers side under...
All the holes welded up. The 3 remaining holes are for the heater and for the speedo cable to pass through the firewall. [ATTACH]
I ordered a bunch of the Welder Series hole plugs in various sizes, I then drilled all the holes to the nearest size using a step bit. Out of all...
