Anthony's 53 Chevrolet pickup

[Loren]

I have a funny feeling he's keeping both places.

Geez, you just got the shop setup nice and now you gotta start over.

That's our SBG, her's always moving

[SuperBuickGuy]

well, time to make it move

always easier to use the wheel to set the studs

wrong size front wheels... so there was some creative spacing done so it'll roll

but there we go...

the discussion is a meet up and drive Route 66 when this is done. Thinking the Buick Wagon would be the perfect compliment.... so that's what's going into the garage at the house in Sandpoint

Is Anthony heading to school in ATL? Hope he has a great experience there, regardless!

I don't know - I have answers but they leave more questions. The truck is going to a shop in Georgia, Anthony is likely going to work on it there with help (not sure if help is they do it or he does it).

They have lived all over - so this isn't really out of the ordinary.

and time for reassembly
table full of parts

front suspension

rear suspension

and up


now the fun of getting the parts that were missing.... It's amazing how well they did (Art Morrison) but they weren't perfect.... we're missing the master cylinder

there may be a wrinkle, though, everyone is moving. I'm headed to Sandpoint, Anthony is headed to Atlanta Georgia... all very soon. Thus, not sure how much more work is going to get done. I may reassemble enough to send it east.... there's a shop there that is going to pick up and run with it....

onward, fitting the truck to Anthony
answered a bunch of questions today, most important of "does he fit"

how many teenagers does it take to vacuum?

steering column won't require tons of bracket making

then onto the major project today

I love KBS coating, but their estimation for 'a frame' is about 50% low. it's covered by not with 2 coats

then flipped up on its side to get the bottom

next up with this is drying but then we start reassembly for real

That's where my build books live. I've wondered if you can print off a whole thread once the car is "done" (or as close to done as any of these get).

I've used it to sell cars (PF1, the black chevy truck, etc).

[DanStokes]

you mean a link to Bangshift?

Are you going to put together a build picture book for him? That would be cool.

stack a bunch of washers/spacers under seat mounting bolts to lift it high enough to clear new tunnel...
unless hes over 6ft you "should" have a few inches of room to spare before head / roof interferance..

you have seen how tall this kid is? that said, next time he's here we should do a fitting

Would the seat not fit in a Studebaker ? Just trying to get you more work !

I'll take a picture of it at some point... it would not match his Silverhawk's interior...
