Re: Cuttin' a Turret Top

Although I’ve still been going at it, there’s just not too much exciting to post. I’ve been doing a lot of sanding lately inside the cab and some pictures are updated in the gallery. In addition to working the compound inside curves of the ‘B’ pillars, I’ve filled the dash holes that will not be used any longer and now have the modified brake pedal mounted.




As you know, the ‘58 originally had pedals that went through the floorboards and the newer chassis uses pedals that swing from under the dash.





I also started doing the doors. ' got the driver's window channel & vent window frame disassembled and I figured out where I need to cut it for it to fit back in. Good thing for me it's not even stainless, but all the rubber is too brittle to even try to save and the felt is gone.




Here's one of where its been welded back together after the 4" chop came out.




And the difference in the vents. I cut the second one down as well after taking this picture.
