Re: Forest's rebuild thread
Well my cast is off. I still need some physical therapy but I think I will be working on the truck this Saturday.

Re: Forest's rebuild thread
That is good to hear. I've had a cast only once, but I still remember how good that felt to get it off and get some fresh air to the skin.

First day back working on my truck in two months. I installed my recently ceramic coted headers and ground down and reathreaded the rod that goes to my power break booster so that I can youse it with my new bracket. Pictures to come.

Re: Forest's rebuild thread

Some color ideas. The gray truck would have a chrome Grill.
Not to sound arrogant, selfish or mean but before anyone asks I don't have time to do a rendering of there truck right now. |

Big Day!! I started the truck up for the first in almost a year. I didn't run it long enough to worm up because it only has headers and I live in the city. It is running great. I also installed my power break booster and master cylinder on my new bracket.

Another big milestone today. After almost a year the front tires are back on the ground. I can almost feel my wallet getting lighter as I get closer to sending her off for body work and paint. I would have taken the tarp off for the photo but it was beginning to sprinkle.

Re: Forest's rebuild thread
Looking good forest. She'll be finished in no time. I like your engine and was curious about what kind of headers your running and if you had any clearance issues. It looks like you have plenty of room.

I don't know about you but I am getting excited. I can almost taste the paint. Ow wait that might not be a good thing. It almost makes me want to strap a body onto the front and a drummer in the back and drive through a dust storm. Of course I would need to shave my head and spray some silver spray paint in my mouth.:metal:

Looking good.

Getting closer. I have removed everything that needs to be removed before it goes off to get the body work done except removing the front window. I also have to figure out my door jamb whire looms. Tried to mock up an ac unit that I bought of someone I knew who was selling it for $50. He told me it would fit but I doughted it and I am sorry to say that I was right.

First orange then red then light buck skin and then? I removed the front window today without cracking it.:metal: I also tried to install a set of door jamb wire looms that I bought and they do not really work.:waah: There is to much inner structure in a 62 door. I might have to end up using the rubber kind instead of the braded steal kind.

I took appart my old ac and installed part of my new one. I think I like it more with the aluminum radeator covered up. I also found what looks like a signature on one of the kick panel vent flaps. I wonder if it was the PO or a rebellions chevy employee. It looks like factoree paint over it so I am thinking rebellions employee.

I finally got around to installing my new over flow tank for my radeator. Had to make a custom bracket out of aluminum stock. I am not sure if I like how high it is I might lower it. What do you all think?

I took the rear fenders off. I can understand why people try to make hot rods out of these trucks. You remove the fenders and it inspires you. There was a black widow living inside the fender lip right next to where my head was inside the fender. I did not see it until I had the fender off and tried to squish it's nest. It and a bunch of it's babies cralled out so I sprayed them with poison. I made sure to spray the other fender before I tried to take it off. Thank God I was not bit.

Re: Forest's rebuild thread
Removed my trailing arms in order to install new bushings. I was thinking of removing the rear end also to clean it up and paint it but I figured since I am not cleaning up the frame I will only clean up and paint the trailing arms. If I ever get the rearend readuilt I will clean it up. I have never heard of a rearend rusting through and it is not going to be seen.
