a little up date
got the floor stretch 5" rebuilt and half skinned

firewall pushed forward 2.5" and reshaped (still in the rough)

built a rotisserie to mount on my lift now i can flip my cab

now i getting ready to rebuild the door frames then the roof

 

have a little update

got the inner doors frames stretched in the roughed waiting on window tracks to be made (by me) plus i wanted to waited till i got the roof mounted and sitting on the cassis to make sure everything is square before i finish the doors

 

 

i spent last weekend reshaping the roof halves on the english wheel 1st time i ever used one big learning curve and test fitting it

 

 

made end/mid section

 

got the 2 halves installed and the middle still need some hammering done but getting there

 

 

hopping to have the ends caps installed tomorrow


if any of you guys see anything I'm doing wrong or going to have an issue or better idea please let me know i would appreciate it


thanks

 

Looks good to me. Wish I could do that to mine.

 

got the center caps on

still needs a lot of clean up and shrinking to be address but its done for now

now on to the frame stretch

was planing on doing the frame today but its to hot and muggy so i decided to play with the dash i don't like the 53-55 dash and the stock cluster is shifted to the right about an inch or so to keep it a f100 I'm looking at the 56 cluster i got a hammer out and some scrap 16g sheet i wish i had some 18

this is just a test look to see if i like it or not

 

Man I wish I wasn't such a wimp. I'd love to make stuff like that.

 

thanks all i can say just go for it i have never done anything like this so I'm doing a lot of extra work plus doing most of wrong with lot of guessing but I'm having fun and learning

my biggest fear beside cutting something up and realize you can't fix it is when finish it will look wrong or off

i wish i had a local shop or club i can go to for advice but living in a small town makes it hard
