Hey you remembered so that's a plus. Front bumper looks nice, I like the curved lines. Kinda goes with the flow of the front fenders!

I'm bad with names but never for get a face, Like JB face there's one you don't forget. Keeping the board names matched to the real names get tough some times.

I like the way the bumper came out too, I figured I'd make it curved thats how it will look after a while any way.

This rig won't need no winch in the front, that winch hole looks like it should go in the back.

Did you use tubing or solid rod for the front bumper and rock sliders?

What brand of flux and solder are you using for the brazing?

I have a Hilift coming and I want to make some sliders and stuff for it. It is coming along very nicely. Looks good

I used solid rod on the front bumper and sliders. I used tubing and the caped it on the back.

As far as solder, I use a rosin core solder for metal repairs and not that much flux. I use mapp gas and oxygen to solder with. The only thing I can't keep together is the rack on my other truck,But my bumpers and sliders havn't ever fail.

The glue showed up , so I got the bed glued up and the tailgate working. Them dogs think they get to go for a ride or something.



I got started on the floor board. Have to cut around everything to make it fit.



Here's the fire wall and behind the seats.

Wow, that is coming along nicely. Very nice.

Thanks for the info on the tube and solid rod. I used a mixture of both when I made my lumber rack for my 2.2 scaler. I used Home Depot flux, solder and Mapp gas. The solder and flux were of poor quality and I wanted to see what you are using before I attempted this next 1.9 build. I think I am going to buy some Harris flux and solder to braze with this time. You mentioned Mapp and Oxygen together. Are you using a set up similar to a cutting torch where each has it's own valve into one tip?

That rig is sure showing some very nice potential I hope you paint it that green that so many Chevrolet's of that period were painted. How does the brass hold up compared to brake line?

I not sure on color. You seen maybe some of my crashes, the brass holds up good.

Got this dash out of a model I had laying around, I got a 53 pickup with a 57 chevy dash and seats.
