Still in the shop The quick flip on the 51 Chevy was suppose to pay for the rubber and interior parts but it never has happened yet. This is to get Mom ,AKA My wife, off my back

I use to pick apples in Anna Il with my Dad !

Can you post close up photos of the cab mounts on the frame Id like to see how you done them...Thanks

Got some more stuff done. Windshield frame is removed and in the process of getting the frame screws loose Got the rear mounts figured out. Did have my engineer looking into it before he started showing off.

Got a little more done tonight. Watching Eric build is SO frustrating. He built my designed rear mounts and we(I) figured out the front mounts. Had to rebuild left mount. Needs more welding but ran outta time as his girlfriend showed up and ALL work stopped.

lowboy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 25, 2019, 06:37:31 PM »

Oh and the engineer decided what time it was so I guess I'll follow his lead

lowboy · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2019, 06:33:05 PM »

The front mounts Some of the welds look bad. Teaching my son to weld as his High school never tought it and I was always on the road. Guess better late than never

got the donor truck into the shop and got it stripped down. The engine is held in by 2 motor mounts and a tranny mount. Set the seats in just for a look see.

lowboy · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2019, 07:37:45 PM »

some more pix Removed the bottoms of seats and helped a bunch. Tried to talk him into an extended cab but he said NO WAY

just old · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2019, 02:50:25 PM »

I like the seats wish I could use something like that be building a roadster , think they may get wet .

lowboy · « **Reply #16 on:** January 29, 2019, 06:39:48 PM »

How about using boat upholstery for the roaster seats? Got the engine out and in the other truck. It's in the factory place but I think we need to move the engine back about 3-4 inches. Plenty of room at the firewall.

just old · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2019, 07:48:42 AM »

that is a pretty good idea , never thought of that

The engine and trans I have has not run in 20 yr motor seems like it will , do you think I will need to have the trans gone over ?

your truck is coming along real good

Got several things from the St. Louis U pull it. Rear end with disc brakes and a gas tank/fuel pump combo. Also got the engine where I want it. The U pull it lot punches holes in EVERY tank Why?!?

just old · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2019, 03:30:15 AM »

Looks like good deals to me .
Every time I go I can find what I need most owhat I buy comes from Craigslist

If every yard in the state punches holes, then the state is to blame for making the yard safer. ARE D.A.'s with torches allowed at the U pullit? duh?
anyway good looking patches!!! You'll making great progress!!!

You maybe single handed (except the Engineer) in saving this site.

lowboy · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2019, 08:39:40 PM »

Well we were gonna swap the rear end out and remove the overload spring. He got into both main springs with the torch. He just got fired from the torch LOL
