| Wow, This build is incredible. It makes me feel bad for putting off my relatively minor rocker replacement. |

Yes, very impressive work. I wish I could do work like that by myself, it would be great to restore the 67 double cab I just brought home. Even if it probably is less rusty than this one was. But in the end, yours will be much nicer than mine. Congrats.

Thank you all for the kind words.
Pierre G, maybe now you dont know how to do it, but ill tell you something, i know mine is never going to be a perfect car, but im learning so much with it, and thats the fun about all this, at least for me, learn and enjoy it!! BTW i saw your thread and that DC is really nice, a lot better than mine, so go for it!!

What an amazing build thread. You deserve a lot of credit for taking on a project of this magnitude all by yourself and making it look like it's just child's play.
Keep those pictures coming my friend. |

Pfff....I get the feeling this guy could start with a VIN Number, a pile of steel stock, some funkey green and build a bus in his sleep!
Bravo! Awesome work!

Im working on my DC again, and while i wait for more green metal, i spent some time on it, some pictures:
Its amazing hot much time this thing took and it wasnt even that bad, but cause i made the front chasis myself i did it all with patience. The bulkhead and the central console are not from a 60 model, but is what i found here.
the nose is out, a lot of work ahead with it. Im looking for the vent tube but just the straight part, two months now and nothing, if you know who has one just let me know please!!!
Im almost done with the back, just two more things and done!!!
and, never forget to wear your globes:
Hope you enjoy the pictures,
Aitor |
