My 40 Dodge Truck Build - Maybe a 41 LOL

[Couper]

In doing the adjustments I did have different numbers. I think as much as 2 or more degrees.

Thanks for the nice words on the fab work!

Your work looks great! Only have time to look at the last couple of pages will look thru whole thread soon. Good inspiration from your build as we are in about the same place only you move much faster !

Thanks ZZ that means alot to me.

Speaking of inspiration you and the rest of the guys here inspire me and keep me on the right track. Like I've said before without you guys along with another fellow, Gene on Killbillet.....I could never get thru this. So I'm very appreciative.

I wish we were all closer or maybe one day get to go to some out of state show so I can meet all you guys.

As far as the faster goes.... everything else here is turning to ****. LOL
I didn't do the fall leaf cleanup and paid a contractor to do my roof cause I have tunnel vision on the project. I'm not a good sleeper so am in the garage pretty much every night till 1 - 2:00 am.
I'm also fighting the clock on the need for shoulder replacements so I'm pushing forward.

Happy New Year!

Coup, yes would be a real treat at some point to get together! Count us in.

Sure understand your shoulder situation. Your doing a great job with the circumstances you have. You truly are a one armed wallpaper hanger!

Made some nice progress on the trans / drive line tunnel. Made it in 2 pieces and it's going to bolt in. The firewall transition piece is welded in and there's a rear transition piece welded into the cab c-notch. You'll see the screws. I have to add the angle to the bottom passenger side, slit the spot by the shifter and bend it up.

When I have the carpet made I'm going to have it made in 2 pieces with some edging sewn in. I'd like to have the tunnel cover done in leather to match the seats and I'll have that form fit and held in with snaps.

It would have been easier to weld it in but I have that "dam I shoulda bolted it in running around my OCD head. So if I got to take it out I can.

Nice work on that tunnel Coup. Murphy's law says that if you make it removeable, you'll never have to. On the flipside, if you don't...
