Returned from T-day earlier than planned, so I used it to mount stuff.  Pedals and MC/booster now mounted.  I did modify the booster mount to squeeze in there.  Tight sapces!  Booster is shot so at least I have a part to work with before I buy a replacement and mess with it.

Some major surgury on the truck.  After much consideration I decided I needed to move the body forward about 1.5".  This entailed cutting off the tip front and rewelding the hinge to a new point.  Modification of the tip front frame also was done to allow for the height of the RAD. It also meant moving the cab mounts forward as well.  I also cut out a bit on the front of the frame cross member and put in a 2" angle piece to get some more room.  This SHOULD give me enough room to fit the RAD and CAC all up front where they belong.  I will have to trim the grill bars a bit as well to get things to fit.  As a side benefit, it should also center the wheel better in the fender if my math is right.

So the Quad doors are going to be roll down windows right? Or electric?

Power windows for all the doors and a power cowl vent as well.

When those times finally get here I'll have to carry it in a dump truck and empty it on your driveway. Maybe, just maybe it might be enough by then....:pray:

Cut out the B1/B2 inside door window sill details and replaces with bit from the B3/B4 donor doors for the project (little bumpy bits visilble in previous pics).  I am especially proud of the driver side.  No warp or heat deflection!  Passenger side I got a little over zealous with the hammer and dolly in 2 spots prior to grinding the welds down.

And drivers side.  Oddly the second time takes 1/8 the time!  And seats placed in the cab for effect.

What?! No limo tint glass in that bad boy? 

 

I've gotta ask what did it cost for glass to be cut and tempered for the windows?

 

The glass I'm using for mock up is old glass I got from another guy for use as templates.  It's not temered it's lam glass.

 

Final glass WILL have a tint.  But gotta stay legal below 30% here...
