Project "G"

Mike it won't make Baker's this year, but when you get up here call me and we can meet up and check out the 64 @ my shop

great job......

That was alot of work ,,looks good !!

Local machine shop made the hinges , they have door pins with brass bushing on them. They are design so they are fully adjustable in and out side to side. If you look closely the top part of the door has been cut out so there would more room for the swing. A small strip will be welded in there to give it a factory look. Final pictures of it should be next week (I hope)

I really like the way you did your hinges G Man........

.........Wookee

Hoping to have some final pictures of the gullwing soon. Had some issues finding the right piston rods. First ones so strong it took 3 guys to bring the door down. 2nd set wouldn't bring it up enough. Finally got a set from a Aztech that work perfect.

One piece at a time::::: New steering wheel

Looks Sweet!!! Slowly but surely this is going to be an amazing van.

Very nice!!!

moving along slowly, but moving. Here some updates on the gullwing

if u need steel let me no i run a stel mill i can get u steel to do repairs

Man,I love that door.Thats a heck or a lot of work.Looks great G.!

Bill thanks for the offer, but the major work needing steel is done. It custom stuff now.

G-Man,the gas tank made it safely to michigan.not sure of making bakers yet,think i might be able to strap it to the trunk of the harley for a trip your way soon-well see.would love to check out your vans.if it gets urgent youll have to come get it-sonny

sonny if you can't make Baker's I'll come over and get it after Baker's sometime. I'm in no hurry for it yet.

Wondering what you have in mind for latches? Its looking good. Has the van become a shelf or is that some super secret custom grill thing going on ??

it is a shelf LOL , have a few ideas for latches maybe something from a caddy trunk that sucks the door in.

Picked up the gas tank this morning, Thank You Vanish and Sonny for hauling it across the USA

Good deal! Inch by inch,step by step.
Your ride is gonna be too cool.We talkin shaved everthing!

I alway say if you have a project you have to try to do a little everyday on it if you can. It will keep it fresh in your mind and not sit in a barn for years. Well since it been at the body shop for a while I haven't done that. There are things I can be working on to keep this project going. I going to practice what I preach and start working on parts and other things. I just finished sanding my tailight bezels and will soon send them out to be plated (so I never have to polish them again)




These are next in line , I'll clear coat powder coat them when finished

Very nice Chris!! Going to do the covers too?

yes they are next

IT'S BEEN TO HOT FOR ME TO DO ANY THING BUT IM GOING TO GET STARTED BEFOR LONG .IM MAD I SHOULD BE ALOT FARTHER ALONG THEN I AM MAKES ME SICK!!!!

Took the Headlight rings, tailight bezels , prop rod and doghouse latch to the plater today. I think I got a pretty good price for 6 pieces ($210) , but I did do all the prep work on them. They must be busy said they would be done in Sept.
