Thanks!

Right now I´m not moving forward as fast as planned, everything takes so much time to figure out
Been working on the inner fenders, I want to be able to fit large wheels, keep alot of the original equipment, and get it pretty "sealed", so I won´t have the whole engine bay filled with gravel, since it´s gonna be my daily. I´ll try to remember the camera so I can show you guys some pics of it.

And what about all the wires?!

Since I removed alot of stuff, like ABS, heat, fan, third brakelight, and probably some more, can I just delete those wires? Do I dare to?

First time off the jack stands! Feels so good:rotf:

Got 4 days off during Easter, so will hopefully make some good progress, the plan is to build the bed in those days. After that it´s disassembly time, smooth the firewall, paint and the assembly!

The first local, annual, meet is the 18th, if I step it up i might be able to make it

Looks good

Looking really good! I love the feeling you get when you finally get it on the ground and see it with all the parts barely hanging on and the finished project is all you can picture.

 

[Sebbe]

Thanks!

Yeah, the "almost done" feeling is probably better than the "done" feeling

Threw the bed on today, won´t happen much to the truck tomorrow, but hope to have the dump function setup on monday. The bed is so bad that I won´t put to much work in it, will try to find another one to fix next winter.




Have anyone out there build a bed for a BD truck with fiberglass? I´m thinking like pre-runner fender, and an aluminum "core", could probably save a few pounds on the truck!

Aaaand of course I couldn´t just fix the bed fast, now I have spent a week fixing rust, and still got a couple of days more worth of rust-fixing, the bedsides were mostly bondo...

But once that´s done I can finally pull it apart again!

 

[Sebbe]

Well, this is my first build, and I´m starting to understand how long it takes to put a car together
Almost done with the bed, will fix some pics some day.

But! If everything works out as it should I´m going to pick up a 1950 ford shoebox! It needs some work, and I have promised myself to get the s10 rolling before I start on the ford, so that should speed things up!

 

[Laydout'noma]

How's this truck coming along?

 

[Sebbe]

Thanks for asking!
I have had some problems trying to decide how I want to do the bed, but I think I finally decided.
So the cab and front end is finished, I got some work left on the bed, and then its time to pull it apart, paint and run all the lines.

 

[Sebbe]

I´m not dead! Just resting...

Took a break from the truck during the summer, bought a rusty, pos 1950´s shoebox that takes up alot of my time. Right now I´m rebuilding my first transmission, a 700r4.

Bought a kick-ass AC/DC tig-welder last month, that will come in handy when we build my brothers driftcar this winter, and I´m sure I can find some use for it on the truck

The plan is to have the tranny back in the ford in 2-3 weeks, and then start on the truck again!
