Just watched the 8 videos in this series getting ready to start my 3rd project. First was a 98 Jeep TJ rock crawler (thick metal, built to bounce off rocks so it didn't need to be pretty), second was a 61 Chevy Apache pickup (way more complicated and delicate metal work). The 61 included front and rear suspension drop, power disc brakes, power steering, LT1/4L60/12-bolt driveline, tilt wheel, cruise control, heated bucket seats, and a bunch of other cool stuff to turn it into a good reliable daily driver truck. Probably the most complicated parts of that build were the full-length metal console and sleaving the true dual exhaust through the x-frame since I kept the torsion bar suspension. Now I'm making plans for a 51 Chevy pickup build and came across your series. I particularly enjoyed the detail on key aspects that are sometimes glossed over in these videos such as sheet metal work to fix rusted out panels (vice just cut and weld in patch panels), how you boxed the frame and built the cross members, and what you did to run the fuel and brake lines while thinking about future serviceability. I think it's the detailed work that makes the difference even if most of those details will never be seen by the average person. I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll tackle the foot pedals and master cylinder, and what you decide to do with the dash. Keep the videos coming!
Professor it's nice to see you back again.. How long do you think it will take you to complete this project? Very nice work.. keep building cool stuff...
Awesome, glad to see you back. Really like the shot of you welding the screw driver on the hood.
Anxious to see the next video. Getting a lot of ideas for my 52 PU build from you. Keep 'em coming!
