You'd better hurry up and get that thing on the road before somebody gives you a ford engine. It's mutating fast.

That Jimmy chrome is gonna cause some head scratchin'. Looks Good.

Well I made it back. I may have to go into detox after this past week, but had a great time.

The Jimmy looks great Jim. I think it may be done by late summer...perfect!!
Keep it going, I may need to ride with someone at the dunes.

jaros44sr · 02-27-2008, 06:39 AM

I stole SeeTen's brothers idea, but I think it may be fitting for you after vacation

I'll try to keep a seat open for you

Little progress, trans dipstick was a gift from the wifey(Valentines Day). Last pc. on the grille, thanks 5150 and ScottH. This board rocks, I don't know where I would have found these used pcs.

Chevyman63 · 03-19-2008, 12:32 AM

That looks great Jim!

When is the maiden voyage?

jaros44sr · 03-19-2008, 12:35 AM

AHHHH, she's got a ways to go. It still looks like the end of summer.Thanks

krc400 · 03-19-2008, 12:43 AM

I'm in the same boat so thanks for the pics! Lost my first k5 to rust in the nineties, I'm not lettin this one go!!! Keep up the good work!

jaros44sr · 03-19-2008, 01:02 AM

Welcome to the boards from Philly, Pa. Tough way to lose one, pc. by pc. disappearing before your very eyes. Luckily caught mine before it went to far

jaros44sr · 03-27-2008, 03:24 AM

Here's some pics...different project

Chevyman63 · 03-27-2008, 02:35 PM

And what do we have here, my ambitious friend?

jaros44sr · 03-27-2008, 04:04 PM

My '67 cowl hood w/ '72 fenders. Just waiting for the swelling to go down, the old girl took the nose job rather poorly

You can see that the leading edge of the hood is about 1/2"-3/4" to long, I think I have a fix

Tim, just trying to cover your six. If you go the full floorboard route, with one cut perpendicular to the frame and one bend up 90 degrees at the rear it should fit.

I'll take pics tomorrow to further explain it

If you're going to have oil leaks anyway make sure you put a spray nozzle on that sprays the sides of floor....not just the center

jaros44sr · 03-29-2008, 12:50 AM

Nice patch on the Pass. side. Hold that thought, maybe we can patent a multi-orifice tube off the valve covers

12' of extra extra brake line and 4 to 6 properly positioned nozzles fed from the PCV valve would prevent a lot of rust

Dude, sounds great, but I think sales would drop. Lets not get to creative

Rust is good

hgs_notes · 03-29-2008, 01:08 AM

For a perspective from the rust belt...that cab looks already restored to me. j/k, but seriously, it hardly warrents a complete floor replacement. Is the cost of the sheetmetal and labor to replace a complete floor cheaper or easier than just patching those areas that need it? Even after the floor is done, cab corners and rockers and maybe lower pillars, etc. will still need work in most rusted cabs.

Seems tobe about the same amount of welding if your putting in 2 floor patches. Differance is noone will be able to tell you put a full floor in since it goes from factory seam to factory seam. And like you state you have to put a and b patches in anyway with rockers. Also, you don't have to fool with forward and rear cab mounts, since they are mounted from the factory w/ nuts welded to the inner rocker panels

Easier? yes, 10 fold...but I will give you a definative answer in about 2 weeks
Labor is what ever your time is worth...

Can't believe I never saw this one until now. Your rocker and cab support photos are all too familiar to me lately.
