Ok folks I was back at again. This is really going to be a hodgepodge of parts turned into a truck. But its keeping me interested. I welded in the 1st of many patch panels today, which was the d/s cowl bottom. The p/s is going to way more involved. I took off the door seals thinking it would be quik and easy, NOT.. Then had to wire wheel and wizzer wheel both openings to get all da dam glue off. Way more of a chore than I was expecting. But aint everything? I scraped the frame and degreased it also last nite but needs done again b4 paint.
Alittle side story today in the garage while grinding and welding.....The guy next store to the garage i rent stopped over today to tell me that he just bought a new corvette. Which we have had previous conversation about this in the past. So i said good finally, bla bla bla. He looks at my rolling chassis and says, what are you doing with that? i said the 66 body is going on it and im going to drive it. He said you will probly only get 4 mpg. I said So, do you think i drive anything for the purpose of fuel economy? Then i added that i drive what i drive because i like what i drive.. He looked at me like i was an alien. He really didn't get it, or have a clue about my opinion about old iron, I guess if i back my 1 ton over the hood of that new Corvette, he will figure it out..LOL
