New to the Old School
Name's John, I'm a 19 year old college student living in Dover, NH and have acquired myself a 41 Chevy Pickup.
The 41 Chevy is on a 92 Nissan Pickup frame and has the Nissan's engine and transmission.
I plan on turbocharging the engine via some kits I've found aroudn for 240SXs and such.
The top has been chopped 4", bed narrowed 3" and shortened 15", body has been channeled 4" too.
I plan on doing a Removable Hardtop on it and almost have the plans set. Always looking for advice though.
Driver's door will be suicide, passenger will be normal but both will have hidden hinges and keyless entry.
I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do tot he inside and sides of the bed yet since all I'm doing now is body work, any advice or ideas would be great.
My biggest problem right now is going to be keeping her from rusting. She has bondo/filler on the edges of all her fenders and has to sit outside. I keep the cab and bed covered, but the bondo is exposed. From what I hear the bondo absorbs moisture.
I'm probalby going to do some more research then ask around about how to repair any potential water damage that has occured.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
