Re: My 1965 build thread

I got my CO today. That means I can move into the shop. I can't fully move in yet. I need to get the sheetrock up on the ceiling before I get all my stuff in there. I should get my power meter set tomorrow. Maybe I can start working on the trucks soon. It has taken almost 4 months to get to this point. It has been well worth it.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Looks good Alan. So when do I move in? I can only assume that the right bay is for my '69 right.

It could be. The problem is I already see limited space once I get all of my crap in there.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I wish I could of finished the shet rock. I left it open for water and cable and maybe another door in the future. Plans might change once I start working in it.

Today is the first day I could really do anything, I didn't have much time, but I did get the cab braced up so i can cut the floor etc.

Let me know if you think it is braced up enough.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Shop looks nice!
Good luck with the rust repair. I just finished mine about a month ago. It is well worth it in the end when you have no rust.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Hung door and fender for first time. The gaps need a little work but not bad for first fit. The floor and floor support are just tacked in place. I still have inner kick, A post and inner and outer rocker.

Great job on the rig and the shop. It appears you are building an entire cab from scratch. Nice work and please keep the pictures coming.

I had bids for a dried in turn key with no mechanics for about 28K. I contracted it myself and saved about 10K

Re: My 1965 build thread

I would cover up the insulation with something just screwed on that you can remove later, just so you are not breathing that stuff all the time.. I like the shop too.
