Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
The chrome was still good, but the paint was faded.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
This thread seams to have died compared to threads 1 and 2. What happened?
This was a great thread and I looked for it first when I logged on. Did the thread move somewhere else? I know that I am not a great contributor, nor did I learn to post pictures, but I use you to continue on with my 57 swb. So bring me up to date please. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I think i've filled in all the holes i'm not going to use on the firewall with the exception of the OE E-brake. Probably not going to use it either, but just don't like filling them in until i have that sorted out.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got the garage cleaned up, HOLY CRAP that took me about 5 hours today. But that's my New Years resolution, to get back to my five minutes a day plan on my truck. I got so much done on that plan and it all came to a halt when I started walking. Well, I can do both damn it. But just a little more tomorrow to get the bench cleaned up and I am back to working out there.
I don't mean I cleaned it up OCD couldn't work because it wasn't perfect. I couldn't even get to the truck! I had to disassemble and cut up that shelf/bench that I had under the garage window. It was a beautiful shelf/bench, hated to do it but I don't have the room. I had gotten it from a neighbor for a co-worker of mine but the dude never came and got it! Finally got fed up as it was just a junk collector, wham, done, it's gone. But tomorrow I will get out there to clear up the bench and be back at it! WHOO HOOOO! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I didn't get much done, about 15 minutes, but DAMN it was more than I have the last year! So my five minutes a day plan is under way. I had to RUN out there to do this being I had to take my daughter last night to her dance class, but damn it, I am going to put in my five minutes.
Making patterns works guys, don't ever short yourself on patterns. After fitting this piece I made a year or more ago, I went to my daughters dance class and got a "Spider Dragon" at the Japanese place next door.  Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got my title in the mail and ready for 2017. Hitting things hard over the holidays and have begun major dismantling of the '49. Bought a crane for the garage 25% off NYE sale. I have to keep the garage clean because I don't have much space to work to begin with. I like your idea of 5 minutes a day @MARTINSR.

It WORKS! If that is all you did the truck would get done sooner than if you did nothing right? But damn, it usually ends up with at the very least a half hour, or hour. But if all I do is walk out and arrange some nuts and bolts, if that is all I do I am going to be out in that garage at least 5 minutes. I have been sitting on the couch in my pajamas having given up after a hard day thinking, "just this once, it's not like I can get anything done." But I get up and go out there and do SOMETHING. It's amazing what I have gotten done with that plan. Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
These are a couple of photos that really should be added to that "Basics."
  They show how to eliminate a cut through the middle of the firewall like Sam Gates did on the Rod and Custom Dream Truck. Especially with the mild 2.5 inch section I did only the cowl had to be cut and it worked like a dream! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Well my five minutes got my patch panels holes punched in it, that was it. I did find that my two cans of weld thru primer were crap being I haven't used them in so long. So that was it for tonight. I did get something done on my brothers radiator box for his Crosley motorcycle he is making too.
I know it's not much, but again, more than I got done all of last year! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I'm liking this 5 minutes thing, although I have to travel next week for work so I probably can't actually make it the whole year working on the truck every day. That would be a cool goal though.
Today, got a shop crane built and got the bed strapped to it ready to be taken off the chassis. Will try get it off tomorrow although I've already noticed the two rear bolts holding the bed to the frame are hidden under the wood slats. The slats are almost rotted off so I may just get a hole saw and cut a hole where the bolt head is just to get a ratchet down there.
