Well it has been a good day, for the most part it is put together. I have a few nuts and bolts under the truck that need tightened up and the doors need to have the bolts put in and lined up and the hood needs bolted on. Then it is ready for storage. Here are some pictures.

oldman3,Thank you. Yes I do not like to see it go. I would have like to have finished what I was to do, but I know how things are and this is an expensive hobby. There will be more projects and maybe get to work on mine.

youngrodder, Thank you. I tried to make them fit the firewall with the lines. I think I will make a set for my panel when I get back to working on it. I love your truck. The colors look great.

Well it is leaving next weekend. Then I will be working on my buddies 1948 chevy pickup and some beltline pieces. The roof on the house and the garage are done. Whoever is a roofer you guys should get paid good because that is work. I had muscles that hurt that I did not evan know I had.

Well, what a weekend. It started on Saturday with snow. We never get snow this early and I think it set a record. Then on Sunday the owner of the 54 came to get there truck. It came in pieces and left as a roller. I texted them to see if they got home alright and they did. Then she said that she steered it off the trailer and in the garage and had a smile all day long. So when I get to finish it I will get back to posting on it again. It was a sad day , you get attached to projects when you build them. I have a 48 truck I am going to be working on next and I will probably do a build on it and sometime a build on the panel. So stay tuned.

I can't believe I just spotted this thread. Awesome work!
It's probably too late to ask now, but any info on your motor mounts would be appreciated.

Oh yea, now I see the elongated hole in the one pic. :lol:
So, next dumb question; everything's upside down, right? The rubber motor mount is on the engine and the S-10 swap mount is welded on the frame? Ingenious!

Your sheet metal skills are great .. Bummer to see the truck leave at the end but owell hopefully it will be back.

Re: 1954 Chevy / S10
 
63 & 64 Bowties. Yes it is that way. That way I did not have to tear the springs and a arms out to get to the bolts. I could also place it better.
