John-
It is looking very good! I always consider this phase one of the most rewarding when you see it all coming together after all the dirty work. Keep us updated. I'm looking forward to seeing it all complete. I'm not sure but I think you had taken out the Volare and installing the Mustang II about the time I joined and I'm glad it is nearing completion for you.

 

wow. your truck is looking great. I cant wait to have my chassis that nice. I jut got the engine running.

Did you box the whole frame?

How wide are those tires? how are you going to get them under the fenders?

great jobs. an Inspiration

nope... just from the front to the cab and a section at the rear where the ladderbars connect to the crossmember

How wide are those tires? how are you going to get them under the fenders?

12.5" wide and shortened the rear end 5.5" and will use 4" tubs

You are moving right along, nice job. I really like your brake line work.

 

Cuzin,

Very nice!

Didn't realize you had actually unpiled all the stuff on top of it and started back to work on it. Feels good, eh.

Another month and I'll have to force myself back to wiring Euphemia....Won't be anywhere near a pretty as yours though.....

later,

 

John, Nice progress on the truck! I too am going with a yellow exterior, Screaming Yellow clear. We need to meet up one day and let me buy you a cup of coffee. I'm up next to Gadsden.

 

a little more progress... yesterday afternoon the plan was to get the lower portion of the front fender ready to mount to the cab (tilt front end)
and start fitting up the tilt front doghouse...

well we quickly realized that to place the fender properly we needed to make sure the running board would fit between fenders...

so we had to mount up the bed sides, clamp on the rear fenders, place the running boards and clamp them...
then check the placement of the front lower fender pieces... 3 hours to do both sides... but all fits properly...
glass work to begin soon. Body man is beefing up the lower fenders...
I'm bending SS tubing bracing for the inside of the hood (stiffener)...
to hold it's shape against the cowl/firewall

pictures will be made this evening... it was way past dark last nite when we finished..

chip chip chip...

Looking good. At least you're making progress. Mine as been stalled since the hot weather hit late in June. Hoping to get some cooler weather soon so I can get back to it.

 

don't get too excited.... this is like a stage background... there is nothing behind the bed wall

 

Allright John!!

Glad to see you making some progress. Its looking good

With everything you can get crossed off your list your one step closer to driving her! Keep up the good work....

 

That still makes my heart go pitter patter. Nice work!

 

Wow, that's looking pretty nice.

 

one more piece of the puzzle... hope the right side goes on Wed nite
still gotta massage the seam... add the top plate on the lower fender and make it pretty...








my advice on a tilt hood ?? if you ain't a master fiberglass wizard with lots of time...stick with metal..

John I think to be a true Tuner/Riceburner you will need a coffee can resonator on the exhust, chrome of course!
