Making progress. Caney Creek boys are taking over, finishing the last few issues and going to paint.

Caney Creek progress.

Front of cab blasted, primed, some more swiss cheese to fix in the upper driver A pillar.

Replacing the bed. Klassic Fab already here.

You're doing this truck some real justice.
Nice work.

Awesome...can't wait to see it finished

Beautiful work on the 1963! We've just bought a 1963 DC as well so we're learning a lot from your previous work and will be watching as it gets closer to completion! Well done!

New bed panels arrived from Gerson... awesome quality, much better than the WW units with the edges already folded.

Not sure why the extra hole on the front panesl, the threaded insert is for the hoops.

Is there a link to the install/welding in of these?

No problem!

Sourced and restored a set of correct headlights.

Bus only drain holes. Left and right. Proper "VW" glass lense. Sanded down and repainted the inside of the rings, left the logos intact.

One is the correct "Z" code. If someone has a second, 63 "Z" coded bucket, send me a PM.

More rust repair, almost done.

Jason at Caney Creek is doing the work. Some photos are mine, some Jason, credit also to Ethan.

Under the rear seat pedestal hold down was rusted out.



And under the fuel tank hold down.

Lower front window replacement.

Wolfsburg West. Quality was good, pressing was a good match, wiper pivot holes at proper location. WW needs to include the inner triangle like Klassic Fab does.






EDragnDean Thu Dec 25, 2014 6:19 pm

Getting closer.

Nose, roof, dash, floors... done. Rust "gone."






EDragnDean Thu Dec 25, 2014 6:27 pm

Underside of frame cleaned up.
