Good lookin truck course I'm partial to ruddy brown short 62 unibodies . Feel free to check my build down in the projects and builds . I put my 62 Uni on an 88 crown victoria chassis complete with crown vic firewall and floorpan . I will update my pics in the next couple days just set the body on th...

Well Paul work is usually slower here in the winter than the summer buuuuuuuuuut this winter has been painfully slow .

I'll be back on her soon lance been a rough winter but dont worry I will be driving the " Crown Slick " this summer.

Spark they make mini splits that have one outside unit and 2 inside units that work well for you in both areas . The rear room and hobby room combined are just over the area I would recommend for a 1 ton unit normally but they are well insulated so that makes some difference . The larger front area ...

Looking good Spark . Your a lot more optimistic than me as far as space goes . I see about as much space there as my uni " body " is currently taking up . Ok now for your drywall mud go get a oil filled radiant heater and stick it in the room and turn it on . Get the heat up in the room an...

The door tag on the uni is definitely wrong as there were no door tags on Uni's . Look on the inside of the glovebox door for another tag as that's where the tag would have been on a Uni.


Rick

Welcome from Louisville " I have no idea how we ended up in the great lakes " . I am in the middle of a 62 Uni Crown Slick .

Lance I feel for you guys over here going through that . The one positive to weeding out Spammers on the facebook group is its usually pretty easy to spot a spammer . The first thing I check is their friends to groups on their page . Generally if they belong to WAY more groups than the have friends ...

Rick with regards to going to bare metal or not . I will say this if it is the original paint on the truck a scuff and primer sealer is fine . Anywhere body work has been done you will want to strip to bare metal to make sure there are no issues below the body work that may come back to bite you lat...

Looks pretty good from where I am sitting .

Gerald thank you for the update until we hear it from Kenny I will continue to keep them in our prayers for Kive to be healed and back to a normal life .

The major reason to keep the 3 on the tree if you are not planning any " long hauls " is it is better than just about any alarm system today . Most kids today cant even drive a standard floor shifted 5 speed and have never seen a 3 on a tree . I am 46 and I am probably from one of the last...

I was planning on keeping a 4 in back spacing since all the extra room is on the outside. I like the whitewalls but the biggest tire I have found with them is a 235-75-15 and I would really like to go taller than a 29in tire. Well if ya don't mind spending a few bucks may I present 285/70-15 of whi...

Summit Racings website gives tire diameters for most any size tire . The 2 examples you give from general Tire are 265/70-15 29.60 diameter and 235/75-15 is 29.00 diameter .



Rick

spark take care of the Mom in law the garage will be there when you get back and like you said its dried in so rain wont be an issue .



Rick

Someone got a DUI when it was all over .


Rick

John I can answer the how many hours of body work question . Have you seen this truck I get depressed everytime I come in here . I don't see any rust or even dents on this thing its like some farmer got it used it once couldn't open the doors got pissed and parked it in the barn . That was a climate...

Shadow are you doing a stock restore or a custom ? I am planning to do the same thing Kstone63 did on his truck . He used some foam insulation from home depot or lowes between his inner fenders and his cab . Theres some decent pics in his build thread .



Rick

Well if it makes you feel any better I went to put new front pads on the E250 today . Simple quick job no problem Yeah Right . Pulled the passenger side caliper and the line snapped . Back to the parts store got both front lines came back put the line on the passenger side and bled it in the dark gu...

Heck if that goes for 2 grand I have some spare Uni doors I could build a bench out of that should be a 5 grand bench since the doors are rarer .
