My local auto parts store has a little section of welding supplies, and in that section is a big spool of ground cable for welders. Thats what I usually buy when I need an extra long battery cable. Then I just put my own ends on it.

This is going to be a cool build

Throw a piece of plexi in it. lol. Beautiful car. Hope you figure out whats cracking your glass. I had a k10 once that I had been driving for years and one day when I shut the door the glass exploded. Put another piece of glass in it and never had another problem for the next 6 years that I...

I've seen those wheels called 12 spokes on various occasions, Care to explain. Maybe my brain is being to literal and just counting the actual spokes (which there are only 10 of)

I finally got my roll of silverado side molding so I took a few before and after pics. I thought this one was cool Before side molding After side molding I'm very happy with the way it looks.

Is that brace an aftermarket item? None of the square bodies I have had apart had a steering box brace? I have seen the plate you can weld on to reinforce that area, just not a brace.

Spent most of my day today putting doors together and installing wheel opening trim. Then gave it a quick wash so the family and I could drive it to a cook out. Still needs the hood painted, the rear bumper installed and eventually some silverado trim on the lower 2 tone line but its getting...

Thank you. I'm hoping its not to shiny to post on a rat rod site. :D

I've been busy over the past two weeks! Started off with fixing all of the little dents and feathering out the chips and two tone edge. Then it was on to primer Followed by hours and hours of blocking There is so much flat area to block on one of these it isnt even funny. Finally it was...

Body work is coming along good. All of the patchwork is done and I have gotten the worst of the bodywork done. I chose to panel bond the lower quarters in. First I trimmed them so the seam would fall right along the center of the molding. 3M panel bond is a great product but it can shrink a...

I vote for the 12 spoke, which appears to only have 10?:confused:

build a woody. I would love to find a nice cowl one of these days to use on a Home-Built woody body.

That 2000 will be an interesting conversion. Going with a straight axle?
