Made some more progress on the passenger rear door, try to keep both sides close together as I move along on any of the projects that I put together. Now that I have both doors roughed in I’ll finish welding up the roof and rocker structures.

Took a break from the crew cab to shorten up a couple stainless trim strips for a 57 Chev Bel Air I worked on a couple years ago. Took 1/2” off both, welded the ends back on, sanded and polished to finish them up.

Apparently didn’t get any of the pictures I wanted to share into my previous post so here it goes again

Have made quite a bit of progress on the crew cab this week. Cut off the old cab back and spliced the new back on further back to allow the new rear doors to be made the same length as the fronts. Mocked up the driver rear door inner and window opening. I used the complete inner door from the front to allow a factory steel panel to attach on the inside.

Sent the 64 off to live with Fabian Dominguez somewhere down south today. Was able to achieve the dream of building a powerstroke powered truck for myself I was fortunately able to enjoy for a couple years. But it was time to move on to other projects and ideas. Thanks Fabian!

Been making progress on the crew cab. Bunch of little things are adding up to a big leap forward.

Making progress on the 67 crew cab. Reinstalled the air box, inner cowl sides and inner rockers. Mocked up the firewall and finished repairing the front floor board. Looking forward to getting to the fun stuff, lengthening the back doors and roof.

Neglected to celebrate 7 years of Hot Rod Fab at the beginning of August. That was the day I loaded my tool box and departed from SAR. Had ups and downs but overall I definitely believe it’s been worth it. Here’s to many more years of repairing rusty, bent and broken old cars and trucks. Thanks to my wife and boys for supporting my dream and thanks to all my customers that have trusted me to help repair their dreams.

It’s turned into a body shop here. Been picking away at the 65 F100 ironing out the cowl. Too much fun sanding down in the vent slots in the cowl.
