Ok here we go my c cab build thread
life of this old rod started in the 70s as a bucket & was rebuilt in the 80s & now rebuilt again to fix a lot of problems, I brought this about 5 years ago & had a lot of fun in this time I noticed a few things going wrong over this time so I thought it was about time to give it a birthday, so this is where I started I removed the motor & box so I could change the power glide to a turbo350 while mounting the box I found a problem I broke the housing so off to a friend to get it welded up in the meantime I lifted the car onto axle stands only to find some ugly stuf under the car, Rubber fuel lines cable tied to the chassis, wiring with 5 pecies solded together to make one wire etc etc etc. I also found the wood was coming away from the body & the body was delaminting so off came the body this is when I decided to make a new body I started this 18 months ago working every second weekend when I was well enough (Ive had a few health isues) so this is a couple of photos of lives journey
