I've still been working on the truck, just haven't updated the site in a long time. I finally got the drivers side rear cab corner in decent enough shape to skim with filler. I also made a start on trying to sort the door out. It was a completely different shape to the frame at the back, and I de...
I've still had enough of doing the truck roof for now, so decided it was time to make some space in the roof of the garage for the front end. After pulling down the rear of the truck and putting it all back up again in a different place I had enough space to get it all up there apart from the hoo...

I've been planning the engine rebuild for the truck for a while now and needed to pull a head off and see if I had a tired old smoker or a half decent base for the turbo motor. It had been raining all day here, so I did some more work on the door gaps and hoped the weather would improve. It had s...

I've been spending plenty of time working on getting the roof dent free and it's getting there slowly. Very slowly. I decided I wasn't happy with the roof chop, so just to give myself more work I cut the drivers side rear window quarter and door frame back off and put it all back on so that it li...

The '55 was still out getting it's gearbox built so I made the most of the space and did some more work on the hood. It had oilcanned where it got run over, and despite my best efforts I wasnt happy with how the repairs to the damage on the front edge came out. I spent a few hours getting the cur...

With the motor sat on it's mounts, I needed to sort the gearbox mount out so that it wasnt balanced on a piece of angle iron wedged under there. It also needs to be able to move backward for the 4L80-E so after a lot of lying under there and looking at it I decided to make the mount sit on top of...
