Jason-- These Fabrication videos Are what IS Needed on the on the Tube. Most beginners have the ambition & motivation but lack the Ingenuity to overcome the littler problems that hold up the Major Project. Thank you for the extra that you put in to make these type of videos for us noobs. You Goooo Maaannnn.
Do like Halfass Kustoms does, and tack weld everything first. And when you know everything in fitting nicely, then, and only then, fully weld in place. It save the hard work of undoing all your welding work.
Good to see you back and great to have a video from the Iron Trap clan. Nice work on the cab corners and figuring out the door gap issues. Hope to see more soon.
It is great to see these videos. Matt makes everything look so easy and doable. My attempts would look a whole lot more like yours where everything doesn't go right the first time. Sometimes perseverance is more important than talent. Please keep these coming for those of us that are not as advanced as others.
You always have to remember that nothing is ever easy or simple. Once you get past that, everything kinda falls into place... That is some great work on those patch panels and braces. Also remember that "tack-welding is your friend"... It will save you much time and grief when adjusting the fit on doors and body lines...
Thanks for sharing your progress on your truck. I'm at this same point on my truck with similar stuff going on. Between your truck and Matt's shop truck I should have enough info to build a Cool little truck. Thanks.
A really good video. I think the problem with these projects in the early stages is that there is always more work to get them sorted. I see it as a case of think how much time it will take and how much it will cost and then double both. This said the better you get things now the easier things will become later in the project. I also think it is essential to keep things moving so setting yourself little projects will be good to make steady progress. Don't think about the light at the end of the tunnel yet, just think about getting little stages done.
Thanks for letting us learn along with you, appreciate your work and effort. Project is coming along awesome. Cheers! Also shout out to the VW bar stool in the rafters. 👍
So good to see I am not the only one that has problems that I create myself Surprised that you put it on video, But good for you a real deal person thank you
I've got the same thing going on with my 55 3100. I used bed rail angle rail (basically 1 1/2" angle iron) on the inside of my front and rear pillars (unseen areas after cover up) I didn't lay them flat, I actually welded them left and right sides to the inside pillars to give the pillars strength
Great video Jay,👍👍 your doing a great job. I love watching these ole truck rebuilds and I like your patience with yourself. Not settling for less then your best efforts. I’m a fan of yours because of that. I’m looking forward for next update till then may great weather keep ya going.
You were mentioning not wanting to work in the cold. I had a buddy who replaced the front sheet metal on his 55 Chevy in JANUARY in an OUTSIDE, OPEN parking lot in southern Manitoba. He got so that he could work outside at -30 C without gloves for half an hour at a time! Of course, this is in Canada, where we're extra tough ... (Some of us, not me).
You call it dimple die, in the ACFT Industry they are called lightning holes. As it to lighten the material and give it strength at the same time. As a newbie subscriber I am really enjoying your project.
I was wandering where you got your dimple dies? The ones I have seen say they only work up to 16 guage and you used them on 1/8 inch. Just curious where you purchased them.
Do the door hinges need rebuilt? Can they be rebuilt? Sometimes, a good old-fashioned 2x4 under the door, with a strong lift or a yank, can get that slight alignment that you need for it. Hmm, maybe? 🤔 I wish you the best of luck on your bitchin project, my friend.

This is how we learn Jay 😂🤣 practice makes perfect 👍 thanks Matt 😎

great to see you're enthusiasm and ambition on the project.You have come a long way from the camera man learning his first weld.Great job
Looks pretty damn good to me! Once you finish that cab will be rock solid!

Awesome video - I am building a 32 truck and the content was very very helpful. Great work - Keep em coming!

Great job. Good to see your progress on the truck.
Good job, I like that you are reinforcing the cab with heavier material, keep you safer with all the soccer moms and dads on their cell phones driving

I guess that was an optical illusion.
I have really enjoyed this, we need to see more on the truck

I really like those cab mount brackets. Good work!
Great video! Go Jason! Keep moving forward!

Everybody benefits from a second set of eyes on a problem some time or other. Nice work and love the truck!
Morning Jason!! I completely understand your "garage space" problem.....I have the same issue!! I really like this project!! Gonna be nice!!
Nice job Jason. It is coming along nicely. Awesome video for the entry level guys. Me included. Every one starts somewhere. Keep em' coming.
Mounts came out nice
Thanks for the lessons.
That green car is the most New Jersey thing I've ever seen! Keep up the great work
Good to let people see that things don't always go right the first time.
Great job. I wish I knew how to fabricate. I’m working on my 70 C-10. It isn’t easy. Lots of hours.
So good to see I am not the only one that has problems that I create myself Surprised that you put it on video, But good for you a real deal person thank you
nice work, cramped spaces suck but better than outside for sure!
Don't beat yourself up you did great on fab work . These things take time as you are finding out.
I've got the same thing going on with my 55 3100.
I used bed rail angle rail (basically 1 1/2" angle iron) on the
inside of my front and rear pillars (unseen areas after cover up)
I didn't lay them flat, I actually welded them left and right sides to the inside pillars
to give the pillars strength

Great project. And for what it's worth, I hate working with cold tools also........

if it was super easy , everyone would be doing it. Just take your time and think about it before you rush into anything.
I mess up to and gotta start over on projects 😒 don't worry I know what it's like

You have a nice camera. What are you filming with?
Is that the same gauge material ?

Why is your engine sitting so far back?
