Had some time tonight to work on the 4th door. Been fighting 100° plus days after working 10 hours this week. Its shaping up though.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Looking like its taking shape.:metal:
Great work.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Your doing a great job TREVOR!

It's gonna be a keeper for sure.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. I plan to keep this one around.

Yesterday was spent tacking the faux door panel in place and stopping to go get my new outter door skin. I picked the skin up from LMC. It is a key parts brand and seems good and thick. I also picked up the lower inside door patch to chop up for the patches I need on the lower rotted parts. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Decided to not use the lower door patch. It was a pretty flimsy piece. I started eyeballing rocker panels and figured out they had the correct shapes and are a good thick piece. So I started cutting them up for my lower patches, turning out good.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

That door is serious work. Looking good on all that edges lining up.
Im watchin from the edge of my seat.

Cool Build
I'm doing something similar.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Tonights progress on the 4th door. Getting the details knocked out. Got the inner door handle area reworked and installed. Got the other tear drop cut out and welded in to access the bolts to the exterior door handle. Little by little.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Been figuring out my door panel situation. A plastic welding first for me with no solvent welding.

Nice job on making a "factory" crew cab with the 4th door! You're doing a great job on the detail work- keep plugging away!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Thanks Leon, I want to say thank you for the suburban years ago. Spent the last couple of years building the confidence and gathering the parts needed to get started. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Man Trevor your doing AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Great build! This is on my list of dream trucks!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Been awhile with the last of the beer selling season, but have been plugging away and got the pillar welded in finally. Glad to be over that part.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

That is some fine, detailed work on both the pillar and the door Trevor. Looks like they turned out perfect!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Great build. Have a few questions and will shoot you a pm if you don't mind.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Found my paint color 2015 Vette "Tiger Shark Grey" and interior color bright red for the project. Give it the classic 50's vibe.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Nice choice!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Great color choice !

This will be a stunning truck when your done.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Some more progress on drivers side.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Been working on finishing the inner door and all its fine details. Also finished up the complicated inner brace. Started mocking up my gaps and door skin.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

I cant wait to see more!!!! :chevy:

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Your fab work is nothing short of impressive. I wish I knew 1/10 of what you do. Excellent work, watching this one closely!
