Just read this from start to finish... Wow. I love the low buck, doesn't have to be perfect approach. Well done sir!

 

Thanks, I am a big fan of your project as well! Low buck!

 

I just realized it's been 3 years since I started this build thread......wow, time flies. I went back and read through the whole thing, what a project!

Been working on the running boards. I ended up cutting a bunch off the front edge to get the right length. Also had to extend the brackets a bit. Still need to make the fillers/skirts and trim the fender bottoms.
Also can't decide on battery placement, the OE had it on the right board with a cover as a step. I don't have the cover, so was thinking about hiding the battery behind the skirt towards the back. But then I still need to make a step.....dunno yet.

Also removed the leaking water pump....

 

Looking good! I've been working on mine for over three years and have not done anywhere near as much work as you have. Just keep going, your getting close!

 

I started on mine just a few months ago and i havent gotten past some de -rusting of parts.

 

Running boards are beautiful work. Just noticed those beauty rings on the front. Nice period touch!

 

Still playing with running boards......got the right one cut and fitted, trimmed the fender bottom. Decided to put the battery behind the skirt, so I had to build a tray....will access from the rear. Now I have to build a step..
Need to finish the other side and get some sheet metal for the skirts

 

Nice fit on the running board Scott.

 

Ditto! great fit between the board and the fender. Mine are way off, but a this stage I don't know if the fender or the board is off.....I'll fiddle with it someday.........


That's a great spot for the battery, I like it

Well, these running boards are turning into a real project......got the side skirts made and fitted. Need to reshape the rear corners of the boards now, build my step and get everything painted.

Happy Holidays everyone!

 

Love your work Scott. Nice job!

 

Really nice! I have been working on mine for 3 years too, but I have done nothing on it for the last 5 months! I have to settle to getting on here and seeing what others have done. Nice work Scott.

 

Perfection in workmanship is always a pleasure to behold.

 

Perfection? Not even....but thank you Jim(and everyone) for your kind words.
Just trying to make it functional and somewhat pleasing to the eye. I love doing fab work, but this build is taking too long. I'm burning out....

 

I read this thread front to back at least once every month or two, because I really like what you are doing and the way you are building it!
Strong work Scott!
