Re: New project! The "Red Herring"

Long time no posts! Between snow this week (which as it turns out, totally shuts down southern VA ) and my having a fever, I actually have not done much at all.

However, I'm feeling better today and got the doors hung and lined up (outer cowl just mocked up for door gaps at this point)



I'm going to have to rebuild the hinges and the driver's side hinges are both bent (which makes sense, the old cowl had the "door swung open too far" dent in it), but I'm reasonably satisfied with the fit.

Also welded the rear pillars in place. Which means, officially, the cab is structurally sound for the first time in probably 25 years!

(Some reason I did not take a picture of passenger's side. Looks just like this but facing the other way )
