Now that I looked at your profile, yep, you are......... I guess you're my uncle or something like that according to Grandpa Dave?

**rgunlock** · 01-30-2011, 10:13 AM

Wow - small world if we're related. Sent you a separate message to compare family tree. If we're related, does that make you morally obligated to answer all my really dumb newbie build questions?

63chevyll · 01-30-2011, 11:28 AM

Wow, what a major project. Just a quick question. What will you title it as?

I have to give you props for taking this on

Glad to see you are back on the horse!

addicted2dunes · 02-02-2011, 01:18 AM

Alrighty boys and girls, feeling a lot better after my accident and now that I have family watching what I'm doing I worked my ass off today on this truck. Probably won't look much different to a lot of people but I ended up cutting the first front cab off and starting over with another cab. This time around I left the cab as complete as I could to keep it from moving around too much.

I also had to move this project from the side of my house to get my Jimmy out because it was sold. This is what I call a custom hitch.

Here is the progress so far. New cab fitted up and firewall panels starting to go into place. Spent most of today hacking all the excess out of the cab.

addicted2dunes · 02-03-2011, 02:36 AM

Ordered all kinds of goodies from Classic Industries. Cowl panels, cab corners, hinge kits, hinge repair panels (inner, outer, and side), and other odds and ends. Sheetmetal gets expensive!

addicted2dunes · 02-05-2011, 02:26 AM

Got my goodies today..... some stuff was back ordered though

67chevy1series · 02-05-2011, 02:29 AM

yay! i love this build....
