Projects It's alive!!! A 1957 Fargo Tale....

She showed me what her plan is, i believe it's gonna look pretty damn good i still haven't figured out how your seats got ahead of mine

 

Hey what can I say....I’m an important guy! Lol

Should I book now for a spot next winter for the convertible seats? They are asking for leopard print inserts.

You know the address big guy

 

He is a customer, you are just a guy around the house getting in the way.

 

I wish i had the time to be in the way!!

Snafu, she ordered white thread from the J&J place, V92 i believe, but it's fraying and breaking, she has cussed more tonight than I've ever heard out of her lol. I told her to just quit for the night, throw that junk in the trash, and order from the thread exchange. To be continued....

 

Yup, like I said tell her not to stress!

Whatya think?

 

Damn I somehow missed Lloyds post! She is doing a amazing job on the seats!


Here’s the seat back! To say I’m happy is an understatement! Ashley is rocking it.

I opened this thread because it’s that time of year, it’s nice out, the yard and animals are squared away for summer so back onto the truck. I welded up the extra holes in the front bed panel, it’s ready to get sandblasted. Pulled the tailgate and started doing bodywork, I now remember how much I love sanding....

pictures tomorrow, forgot to bring my phone to the shop with me.

 

She's gonna ship one back to you, then ship the other one. You should have them both in the next couple of weeks

 

No rush, at the rate I work I’ve got a couple moths of bodywork to go

 

I guess I've gotta quit putting it off and get some stuff done to my car. I've been busting my ass on customer stuff, trying to get caught up enough so i don't feel guilty lol

 

I spent the last couple of days moving chicken coupes and pigs out of the barn into the outside pen. Now I think everyone is settled so on to the truck

Have you ran the convertible with the dual carbs?

 

Yes sir, runs flawlessly

As promised a few crappy pictures to make sure it looks better then it is. I’m not so much going for laser straight so much as sorta smooth, my story is it’s an old Saskatchewan farm truck, I don’t want to lose all the character.

I came to the conclusion I will probably put spray in box liner on the inside of the box to avoid doing serious body work on the inside.

Well my goal for the day was to get the tailgate ready for primer and mow my grass. With today coming to an end it’s time to make a goal for tomorrow. It is to finish getting the tailgate ready for primer and mow my grass....fml

Accomplished the goals for the last two days!! Yay me! The tailgate is mostly smooth, ten or twelve coats of primer and it should be presentable, got the rear box crossmember ready for primer as well. Hopefully get started on a box side tomorrow

started on a box side, scuffed the epoxy I left it in for the winter, spent a couple hours with a hammer and dolly straightening it out a little better, now started bodywork.

Looking better and better! Your truck is going to look great so don't sweat the small stuff. Or you may want to do what I plan and have a little sign made up with...

" If there is something on this vehicle that doesn't meet with your standards send check to the following address and it will be retrified!".

 

Thanks man, I’m not worry about perfect at all, I drive my stuff, a lot! It will get used once in a while as a truck so as long as it looks decent I’m happy.

One box side ready for primer, talked to a buddy that owns a body shop and he is going to do the spray in liner stuff for me, inside the box, inside the rear fenders/wheel wells and the running boards. Running boards will be white and the box will be green and wheel wells black. Getting there.

Wanna job? Just gotta relocate

 

You may change your mind if you saw it in person...

Doubt that. You have initiative. We'd get along great

 

You must have missed the part where I said it’s taken me 30 years to build this thing.
