please keep video I want to see your truck when it's done you doing a good job

[@philiptipping6738]

just got to love working on old cars. all made to be rebuilt, over & over.

[@haroldobrien4322]

Coming along nicely. I have to say I'm impressed with the door and hardware swap. Not that it's impossible, I've done similar door swaps myself although decades ago. I'm impressed because as I remember it there was a WHOLE lot more cussing when I did it.

[@ZHFabrications]

Haha, thanks Harold... There was actually plenty of cursing, I just took the liberty of editing that out :)

[@andrewt.8442]

Your truck always looks better, step by step. 💪

[@ZHFabrications]

Thanks Andrew!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

No contortionist antics? No bleeding? Less rattling. Less wind noise. What an awesome win on that job.

[@ZHFabrications]

:) Thanks Jim... Unfortunately I did this about a year ago, so now I'm going to have to scuff it re-prime it then paint it again.

[@abefrohman1759]

I’m really enjoying this truck build series.

[@ZHFabrications]

Thank you Abe!

[@jukeman57]

Looking great. I remember my dad buying a new 1965 Chevy fleet side custom cab. Chrome everywhere. First year I think the spare was mounted underneath the bed. Even the spare had a medal wrap that was chrome plated.

[@ZHFabrications]

Thank you! That's interesting, I'll have to look that up.

[@rudyflores9395]

did you take classes for body work ? If not you sir are the man taking on this project. R. Flores Tx. Thanks you are giving me back my feeling of get out there again and do it.

[@ManCrafting]

Man if only we could do paint and replace all those parts in 10m. lol Looking good. I cant' wait to see that truck rolling down the road complete. It's going to be glorious.

[@ZHFabrications]

:) Thanks Chad!

[@davidblalock9945]

Bit by bit, panel by panel. Looking better every time.

[@ZHFabrications]

Thanks David!

Sweet job Zac. I have to say as a 25+ year’s as a automotive technician specializing in drivability and automotive instructor I give you an A+ nicely done just my two cents. Oh I use to use spray silicone on the weather stripping to help the windows go a little easier and for a real truck ( meaning yours real steel) is a little die-electric grease because you can clean it up when your done. Hey Zac take care my friend

[@ZHFabrications]

Thank you, and that's a great idea!

[@YuraKvadrat132]

I am impressed. You have golden hands.

[@ZHFabrications]

:) Thank you!

[@Chrissi.Pinder]

Love that you are working on this, I obtained a 68 this winter that I am trying decide if I need to do a frame off or not. I'll have to build a place to work in the back yard if I go that route.

[@ZHFabrications]

Thanks.... Yeah, that's sort of why I'm not doing a frame off... I figure some day when I have a nice shop it should go a lot easier since I'll have already done a good amount of the work.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Manoeuvring those parts in and out looks like the type of job you do when you're very calm, otherwise stuff's getting thrown

[@ZHFabrications]

You are correct sir... I try to edit those parts out :)

[@JesseHires]

I've done that on a number of older vehicles. Managed to draw blood every time on the sharp inside edges of the door. :-)

[@ZHFabrications]

Hah, yes pretty sure that's a right of passage :)

[@leksey7870]

The machine is super! Godspeed!

[@ZHFabrications]

Thank you Aleksey!

[@chadaxling2857]

Your taste in projects is one of the best out there. Thank you so much for the inspiration! What do you recommend for editing videos?

[@ZHFabrications]

Thanks Chad! Right now I'm just using iMovie. It's pretty user friendly. I'm thinking about upgrading to Final Cut some day though.

[@masterofnone]

Good info here man. Thank you for sharing

[@ZHFabrications]

Thanks Utkan!

[@amnesiacmyx]

Great video. Does Johnny Law let you drive that thing around with that cracked windshield?

[@ZHFabrications]

Yup. Fortunately I pretty much only drive to pick up metal and wood, which is all within 2 miles

[@gregk6668]

Do I have to take the window out to replace the door striker mechanism out. I'm stuck and think that is what i need to do but want to be sure first.

[@geoffreymills9932]

Dude,,, did you just put the new window channel in your old door

[@Sidonly]

Good music. As if the game EXmachina or Crossout.

[@ZHFabrications]

:)

Thumbs Up #464 I am, Wednesday 23 January 2019! If you do not mind my asking, what engine and transmission do you have? Mine is a 235 c.i. mounted to a 2-speed Hydromatic.

[@lionitist]

why didn’t he do the vent window too???
