Working on the console and getting the interior ready for paint in the next couple of days.

Ok here is some more progress on the uni http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN1071.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN1073.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pr...

Well we might have finally lost it. We have been discussing what kind of hood scoop might look good and this is what we came up with. It rises 1 1/2 inches at the back of the hood and slopes to nothing on the front of the hood. we didn't want a big scoop and we wanted to maintain the lines of the tr...

Sorry about the pictures I'll try again. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/54c6c10b-33de-4925-b6e6-63a531c7d16f.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN1062.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/album...

Been making some more progress. Began fitting the front clip and bumper and door gaps. Had a bad radius mismatch at the bottom of the A pillar and the door on both sides. On the drivers side A pillar I had to cut a slot in the pillar on the door side to pull the pillar in to match the leading edge o...

That is almost a carbon copy of Rod's 63 long bed pro street build we are in the final stages of building. Should be a killer truck when finished. We will be watching your build and good luck.

Great looking cooler.

Hey Allen Abilene Ks is where I grew up. Was born in Wichita Ks.

Allen we did, in fact that was the first problem we were presented with. The over wing fairing was being pulled down to tight and it was breaking the lip seal flange causing us to have to replace the complete fairing. I don't remember what the final fix was but it sounds like, from what you say , it...

Allen. Cool video. I was the 4th USAF enlisted man to be ordered to the 1st squadron of F 111's in the Airforce at Nellis AFB Nevada. I went through 4 different special schools to prepare for its arrival in early 1968. It wound up in Thialand that same year. It is quite the airplane. Our commander w...

More progress. Got the doors and front sheet metal on and the doors aligned and the radius on the upper forward corner done. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN0781.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UN...

Some more progress. We got the cab interior, dash and cowl primered. Makes a big difference. Going to go get the chassis from Rod's garage tomorrow and put the body and chassis together for the last time. Then do our final fit and fair getting ready for paint very soon. http://i214.photobucket.com/a...

BiffWilley Thanks for the comments. We made a bit more progress today. Finished up the passenger side door jam and got some primer on and it looks pretty good I think. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN0720.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/album...

66fordtrucknut A mobile home furnace or something equal is probably what I will wind up with but for now this burner is a viable alternative. It is drip feed hence the tank above it. My shop is 30 X 36 so it's not that much bigger than yours so a furnace from a large double wide should work ok. I wo...

bmcgc Haven't heard of anything like that around here. ICE. I'm about to become 70. I have done all the wood cutting I want to do. If we had natural gas available I would install a gas furnace. The problem with log truck loads of wood is the mess produced. It's bad enough buying wood by the pickup (...

Here are some more pictures http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Waste%20Oil%20Burner/Untitled.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Waste%20Oil%20Burner/DSCN0712.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Waste%20Oil%20Burner/DSCN0711.jpg That is all th...

I'm still in the experimenting stage learning how to adjust things like drip rate, how fast to run the fan, where to position the intake tube. Things like that. It doesn't burn perfectly clean but there isn't a lot of smoke either and hardly any smell so I think I am on the right track. Once I get a...

I have been heating the shop with wood for a long time and we experimented with a waste oil drip system a couple of years ago without a good out come. I have since discovered a better way to do it and so far it is working good. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Waste%20Oil%20Burner...

Brownie62 The firewall is bonded on. Rob removed all the ribbing so we would have a flat surface to bond to. I made a template to transfer to the metal. I left the edge of the metal back from the radius of the tunnel so I could smooth the radius to a nice transition. We used a 2 part epoxy product t...

Got paint on the firewall today.

More progress. Got the seams on the back of the cab done and the smoothed firewall in primer today. Beginning to take shape. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UNI%20Build/DSCN0602.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc195/3Oldtrucks/Rods%20Pro%20Street%20UN...
