Well, it has been going very well. I have pretty much completed the rolling chassis.
Just need to weld some supporting washers to the caliper brackets and painting them.
Had a bit of a set back with the Fairlane suspension project but hopefully will get the rolling chassis done by the end of next week and get on to fixing sheet metal.
Well - as is typical - things got in the way of much progress the last couple months.
Here is some minor updates
Caliper bracket finished (re-enforced mount area and painted)
Rolling chassis finished (well very close anyway - still some plumbing to do)
Patch panels welded in
Underside view
More patches - rear cab mounts where rusted through very badly.
Still to do
- attach the roof. Starting to lean towards gluing the rear seam and welding the A pillars
- soda blast the entire cab. I have a friend that has a soda blaster he said I could borrow. I don't trust the sandblast place to do the sheet metal with out warping stuff.
- fix all the stuff that is uncovered once the cab is fully stripped
