Sweet, another full vert convert like everyone says , measure twice, then a few more times, and again just to be sure then before you cut measure one more time

It's not to bad of a job ........granted I have yet to finish mine , but the hard parts are done

did you just butt weld the top of the windshield frame to the newer post?

 

[dremu]

I went the other way -- blasphemy, I know -- but no, I didn't just butt-weld. I slid a piece of tube into the A pillar on each side to align them. See the second pic on

a little progress

got the windshield frame mocked up with the 73 top on. going to put the 73 doors on it to check all lines and gaps. i love the look so far. pic 3 is of my parents 88 k5, been freshly painted about ten months now.

There is a REALLY rough donor twenty minutes south of me I can have for iron price. I really should go pick it up. Did you modify your doors, or paint the old ones?

Very nice! I wish I had a top for mine but I got my donor parts here and there, never had a complete truck to work with.

Thanks for the thread - sub'd.
