Personally I like the big window a lot, just gives the car a whole different look but the guy putting up the bucks hates it so that settles that. We are going to use the stock 54 wrap around window for sure, kinda the reason for using a hard top I guess. The plan so far and as to what I have...

LOL! na, but the floors and cab corners are repops and good ones at that which is very surprising. Thanks guys but its just mindless labor that just happens. I have Pandora Radio in the garage that really helps just turn it on crank it up and loose track of time. Now get it in color make the...

Today I finished the cab and its ready for color. Even spent way to much time on my knees today get all the little edges smooth and clean the owner or anybody else will never see it but I know they are done right. So its straight smooth and clean. WO HOO!!

I love Sneeky Pete Favorite truck ever!

yup, I am sure it was a ant but what a F'ed up hole and when they filled it they made a 3" deep bag out of masking tape and filled it with bondo. I ordered the paint today. Candy Red and wimbelton White. The red for the inside will be a 2 stage with flat clear, should be kinda neat done flat.

Not dumbing it down no need for that around here you guys get what I am saying just trying to be a bit more detailed in my explanation. This might help abit. Had a guy over on the other site photoshop it for me, hes getting there but the rear windshield is still to large. and the 2nd one the...

I think that was 18 guage just about the same as what was there originally.

Thank you but it ain't rocket science just go for it and take your time don't get in a hurry. I'm not that good its just I am to stupid to do anything else.:rolleyes:

I have more if you want I just didn't want to bore everybody with all the stupid little details. I take pics every day and build a folder so at the end of the build I give the customer and complete history of the process.

If you look close one of the housings is cut down. I did that when I put it on my 52. It gives you a good way to mt the lens and all you need to have in the opening is 2 straps across the inside to mt it then build body around it as you see fit. Also the bulb sockets are there. Here is what I...

Without going into a lot of boring BS about blocking and filing here is where the cab is now. I hope to be shooting it this weekend. It will be White/red fendered. There is still a lot of work to do on the rest of the body but the owner of the truck will be in town visiting family during X-mas...

so the floors and corners are all done and its time to make it straight. The roof and back of the cab was peppered with dents so a lot of hammer and dolly work went into it but ya still gotta use the bondo to get it right. Found another odd hole in the cowl and filled and bunch of unnecessary...

I just got in from a 12hr day of finish sanding and shoveling snow:eek: The cab is getting very close to paint actually but I will show you a months worth of work first.:eek:

Well maybe not all winter.:rolleyes: we have been working on this since the last week of October so a lot of progress has been made. The chassis is about done with all new and I mean ALL new brakes, everything! fuel line all sys parts. clutch/pressure plate ect ect. Rear was opened and got new...

cool, why would anybody want to kill ya for building a kustom? Reshape'n is what its all about. What ya planning for tails? I have 2 sets of Keizer tail lights I would like to sell if you think ya might want to go that way.

Yes. There also one that runs from the rain gutter to the vent line, that is where they break the 2 tone paint. I want to kinda duplicate that on the trunk lid also. It might be easier to just put that on the 54 roof but we want to take some of the hump out of the 54 top so I just thought kill...

The chassis, or what was left of it.

Ok, let me try to explain it better. All I really need is the skin. I will leave the stock roof frame , gutters ,window openings intact after the chop then use the skin to pancake it, "flatten it out a bit" and if you look close the 58 has a cool body line running across the back from B-pillar...

Ya, I am kinda old school and would very much like to do it as a Moon Glow clone but he wants to modernize it and its his car so that's what we will do. I just hope it all works out. Pics of moon glow clones and a couple pics of the 58 roof. The hope is that the roof will kinda pancake it and...

More cab rebuild. Trying to get all the dimensions correct so that the E-break that was completely inop working again was a lot of fun:rolleyes:
