Just finished stripping the shell. Still need to pull the cargo door, and a few other small bits, before we roll it into the blast booth Monday morning.
We will build it if it comes.
It’s not too bad!
Funny that the lights look like they the later style, because a 1960 would have the lower small lights. I wonder if the corners are from a different truck… 🤔
Looks like something maybe kissed it over by the side door. 😙
Some other little areas I saw…
Watching all the work on my DC, got me jonesing (no pun intended) to turn a wrench. Started a bike project. I decided to run all the lines and cables down the handlebars of my Harley. I’m adding 14″ apes with chrome controls. I don’t want any external lines, so I’m putting on an internal throttle and a hydraulic clutch.
So far, the hydraulic clutch is installed, not yet plumbed.
Pulled the tank to get access to the wires and throttle cable. Once I get the bars delivered, I can measure how much I need to extend everything.
Cool Mike!!! I like Harley’s… But have not spent nearly enough time on them yet.. Hopefully in years to come!!!!
A few of the problem area’s.. After blasting.. or maybe part way through, I am going to order your metal and New Gates from Gerson… 😎
For a 1960…. I think your double cab is pretty damn nice!!!!! 😎
and a couple pictures I found on the camera from friday…. 😎 Bondo Angel…. Your truck was very very thick with material… 😎
Last of the bits pulled from the shell.
Chris started stripping the front floor. Looks like it was rusty and they buried it in bondo them rinolined over it.
Left and right sections will need replacement maybe the whole floor. We’ll see after blasting.
Stripping removables.
Driver door has some “repairs” done. Will need some more love again
We will build it if it comes.
Chris started blasting yesterday on this. Looks like he’s working from the top down.
We will build it if it comes.
