Oh you just made one of the last fog days here... in 62 they out lawed fog in So Cal as it wasn't earth friendly. By doing so It made the roads and air travel safer... Now some 50 years later the environmentalists want to allow it again as it reflects the sun and decreases global warming... But seriously right along the coast line it gets really thick at times. It can run inland thought some of the valleys as well and play havoc with the traffic. This will teach me to open my mouth. Its 12:00 noon and no sun today as of yet? Go Figure!

Know what you mean. Sometime in late Nov, early Dec 1965 I caught the fog just out of Santa Ana heading to Pendleton about 1 in the morning. Put the left headlight of my 36 on the outside yellow line of 101/5 and hung my head out the window so I could see all the way to the San Onofre exit. That was back when it was only 2 lanes on either side.

My first guess is yes but im not an expert or S10's or 40 Dodges.... to me its the challenge of making it fit. Do some wheel base measurements and go for it!

Hey, I'm a little late to the party but it looks like there's still lots of fun to be had!

Bob are the front doors or the 4dr the same as the doors on the delivery? If so, that makes this whole thing look fairly simple....on paper, at least!! Very clever way to do the swap and to have that lift would be awesome!! Nice work! I'm now signed up for the next installment....

Partys I attend its fashionable to be late... unless there is beer involved in which case I try to be 1/2 hour early or so. My buddys are always reminding about the sign I have on the wall so I gotta get into the beer early...


First thing I did was change the passanger door before I got busy. Exact same size even though the body belt lines are very different. I can do the switcharoo cut and paste thing and make that look normal. Here is todays undertakings...

A late night tonight... My son was using the shop to build some new rear tube fenders for his Jeep so I hung around and helped him. I set the delivery body on the old 4 door floor tonight to get it out of the way. Tomorrow I will do some final trimming and hopefully by tomorrow afternoon start welding it back together...

Very good work sir, and really fast I must say too!

That is very slick and quick

Actually the slow part starts now... trimming everything up, fitting and re fitting, and finally tacking everything back up and slowly welding all this stuff together. Then the dreaded job of grinding making all the welds smooth.... It will take a good part of this week for sure. Thanks for the replys and interest. We are alswys doing something unique here and I guess that is what keeps it challenging and fun for us. I thought you might like to see a typical day at Bengels and the kind of stuff that goes on here along side of the seat building business. I will post up some more pics as I finish this thing up for Mr. Customer.

NICE! That is so cool...

I was trying to meet your "standards"..

All this talk about nice weather makes me want to kick some one in the jimmy!

Well, R2 and MT are in a fog half the day!

Hummm Fog or Reality? Thinking full time fog is sounding pretty darn good about now. Go to the basement and wrench all day, come up for dinner, then back to wrenching until bed time... Oh wait that is what Im doing now, nevermind!
