Projects The "Keep on Truckin' " '34 Chevy Build

One of the things that was keeping me from starting this was that I did not have a glass channel for the passenger door. Rather than start a fruitless hunt to find one, I decided to try to make a copy (mirror image rather) of the one I have for the driver's side.

I blunted a chisel and smashed, hammered, and filed a "V" to catch the regulator. I cut the other side off so the glass could slide in.

awesome, I'm pretty sure I'm going to use this truck as an excuse to drive to Kansas city some day haha

 

Thanks chums. My pics are loading super slow and my 'patience' is wearing thin, so more later!

 

Here's what I'm trying to replicate.

It works! (With the plexiglas anyway )

 

Don't you dare stop this thread, I'm going to need it when I get to the doors on my 35 Chevy! Good Job!

 

Mike, awesome job on the window thingy, I've been trying to figure out a track for the bottom of my windows and now thanks to you, I have an answer, great job as usual and thanks for the info.
PS, I think we have our next Tech Week winner.

 

This thread definately shouldn't die. This is how we learn more. Great work on the door.

 

Ok ,ok! Thanks Kat!

Thanks Gary! There would have to be some pretty weak entries for that to win tech week, haha!

Thanks pal! I appreciate it.

Haha! I get chilly.

 

we'll let the windows slide as long as you don't put a heater in it.

 

I was hoping to get a reflection of that Righteous Beard in the glass. Little disappointed but ultimately impressed with the work. Hustler never stops his hustle and this things keeps getting better!

 

Love it . Ya gotta be nuts or have a big set to build Chevy's . Not sure about myself but had a 33 chevy bobber truck ,and now have a 34 coupe ,must be a gluton for punishment . But at least easy to find in a parking lot full of Fords .

 

Just like that huh? You make it look too easy.
I remember someone, I'm not saying who, telling me this same thing.
Great job cactus...John

 

Great build, you really got me thinking twice about taking my 35 off the market, and putting it back in the shop!

 

Dude, that looks GREAT! Nice Work, and you make it look so easy!

 

Great to see the continued progress -- nice work... please don't let this thread die!

Thanks party people!
Here's more. I have three of four door check strap brackets so I decided to try to make one more as I was unable to find anything close.The pics make it look bigger than the originals, but it's pretty close actually.

wow looks great man

 

Thanks Timmer!
The weather is starting to turn here so she's probably in for the winter. I need to get the driver's door restructured and then it's on to door skins and the like.

 

Look at that!!! Those look killer!

Ahhh, parking the cars for the winter. I remember those days. I'm hoping to take mine out for it's first drive Christmas Eve and begin a beautiful friendship between me and the Wizard.

 

Thanks Ffejery! And thanks for not rubbing it in that the truck will be down for a couple months for the winter... Oh wait, you did! The beard is sad now, ha!

Remember we want video when/ if the Wizard finally moves on its own!

 

Damn I didn't mean to make the beard sad...just the sad man that hides behind it. Haha!!!

I'll be sure to get ya video....on Dec 24th.....in the sun......while it's 60º out.....making it rain with single dollar bills (fake of course) out the open insert in my roof


Seriously you're doing a killer job on this truck man. Everything get's so much thought behind it.

 

Beard happy now. Thanks JJ!
