Wife's '47 Chevy Truck Build

[BruceR&C]

Well, gonna take a break from this thread for a while. Since I was asked to document the wiring job, I thought I'd put that in it's own thread. Once the wiring's done I'll probably follow the finish (???) back here.

Looking good so far. Thanks for all the pics so far.

Tho, I'm concentrating on wiring the thing, ya still have to do some other stuff to get that part done ,too. Grille goes on to hook up front signals.

Now if only those orange legs can go away soon.

The hood now latches closed. Installed hoo latch panel this evening. First time hooks been down in a loooong while

The truck is looking great i bet the wife is excited and ready to take it for a spin

 

[BruceR&C]

FINALLY !!!! She's back down on her own 4 feet. Now, I can finally see how she sits. And IMHO, she looks goood !

 

[Gastrick]

In my opinion, she looks pretty good too Bruce, well done. It's a good feeling to walk into the shop and see the car/truck sitting on it's own rolling stock after it's been on jack stands for a while.

Looks great for sure I love that visor

After the wiring was done ( with some minor exceptions ), The steering wheel & column attatchments go on,,,,

After 17 months on stands I half expected her to be stuck up there. With her on the ground it's only a few days before she gets that first ride around the block

 

[Bonehead]

I am pretty excited. Really looks good.

 

[BruceR&C]

I'm really stoked now. Just checked the lighting this eve and turned the engine over. So, I may have done OK in the wiring dept.

Up in smoke!!!

That's great Bruce. It's good to hear it run. Did the wife hear it? I did get some minor motion sickness from the video though

 

[Tripper]

Again, sorry about the movie. 1st attempt
Oh yea Momma heard it ! She had a gig ol' grin from ear-to-ear hearing her Beast growl again.

 

[Tripper]

Really kool!!!

I think she's gonna really be jazzed when she drives it because R&P makes those trucks drive SO much better. I'm really excited for her!!!

Pics from fri nite/early sat morning.

Mounted spacer for gas pedal. Mounting to the floor kept the pedal from full travel. Had to wait for later sat morning to mount pedal. Got a million nut,bolts & srews laying around & not one long enough to go thru the floor

Also mounted the seat back in. Right now will use the original seat till the wife decides what she wants.
