Starting to look like a truck again. Front end alignment of panels is rough, but I'm sure you will work it out...Jim

Made a table for the cab.. Now we can finish the complete Cab..
Welding/sanding/primer....




Real happy with my shaved firewall..

Also orderd a brakebooster,, I was planning to use a frame mount booster, but there isnt enough room to put it under my cab, so now I am going tu use a chrome one... A little bling under the hood...

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

We are still welding on the Cab,so not much of a progress.
Hope to have the Cab back on the frame the end of this year..

A other car..

You can say that again,,, there isnt a day that i dont think of my truck,
Have a lott of plans in my head, but cant do a thing, my plan is to stay here in texas for some more weeks, and then go back home, and work day and night at the chevy, I got a lott of new stuff now, got everything to finish my build.
The only thing that isnt finish is my cab.. The guy that works on it ,is really slow.
I hope he is ready when I will come home..
So I can put some new pictures on this forum.
