Alright then

I almost took on a C.O.E. project back in the mid 80's. Lookin at what you got going on kinda makes me think that maybe it still isn't too late???? I could tell the Ol Lady it's going to take the place of my car dolly!!!!
later

 

[shakey56]

Go for it....!

Ain't never too late, Doc. If I can do it...... you know. Just, if you do, use a van chassis. It is so much easier. Of course, that's just my opinion. Based upon experience, don't you know.

If you build one, you won't meet yourself comin down the road. LOL

Hey, here I am....

Been kinda under the weather ... again! Yeah, old age sucks! But I have managed to continue with some repairs to the right side cabcorner.

See? More pictures of clamps!

Good to see progress Lynn, hope ya get to feeling better soon.

 

[shakey56]

Today.

Thanks, Ray. Got the right cabcorner "glued and screwed" today.

Such a beautiful day in East Tennessee, we knocked off early and went to the local cruise-in. About 75-80 cars showed up. Just chilled.......

No pics today!

Yea......

Finished replacement of right-side cab corner. Left door is finished but I still have to replace the bottom inner and outer on the passenger door. [cl

Before starting on it, we decided to hang some of the front sheet metal. Looking ahead, I need to get a radiator. Had to temporarily assemble some of the front......radiator support, deflectors, etc., so I could get a measurement for a radiator.

Oh my, careful there hanging fenders and stuff on 'Buford'...........folks are gonna realize how cool this thing is gonna look! Glad to see it coming along Lynn, it sure is looking good! [cl[cl

[shakey56]

Thank ye, Ray..... Think this is low enough? LOL

Lynn

 

[Neverdone]

Think this is low enough? LOL

Lynn

No......... it needs to drag......

 

[sgtpontiac]

Is that a large or small coffee cup...??

Thank ye, Ray..... Think this is low enough? LOL

Lynn

If it's a large it's too high....lol....

 

[pugs67]

Sweeeett!!!!!

Lynn, Buford is lookin sweet. You don't need to cut anything off the bottom of the fenders. He'll look just fine like he is.[dr

 

[Old Iron]

Ya may have to run a cow catcher on Buford. Not for cows, for the cats n dogs

 

[sgtpontiac]

Or all those stray coffee cups....

[shakey56]

Yeppy...

Thanks for the support, guys. Yeah....we all agree. As low as possible![cl

BTW Sarge.....that be a SMALL cup.

Lynn

 

[shakey56]

Well......

Mocking Buford up to make a support for the front sheet metal. I just could not resist setting the hood in place. The bottom of the lower valance measures 6 inches from the gtound.

Looks about right, huh?

Looking good!!

 

[Snake Farm]

Lookin' sweet! Might I suggest extending the valance to the ground and just letting it wear off like Jeff Foxworthy's blue jeans.

Keep up the good work Lynn!

 

[Dirtyrat]

Definitely in the weeds! Looking good!
