​@@SalvagetoSavage: Thank you Brother for what you and your shop do. I can't stand watching some channels with so much unnecessary content. You guys get right to the task. I only wish your episodes were about an hour long at minimum. Very refreshing on KZbin these days! Cheers from Guam USA👍

[@MAXOU95633O]

fr XD

[@Peteblz1]

You guys really do things differently. The highest quality builds. Everything super custom. The fab work you do is second to none! And even adding the sound dampening to finish it off and make it just that much better. Amazing work y'all!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Wow, thank you! That means a ton to everyone here at the shop! Thanks for all the support!

Looking awesome! Mike! Can’t wait to see the finished interior.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

That upholstered interior is coming up soon!

[@NeverLetOff]

This truck is turning out soooooo damn good! I can't believe how much you've gotten done so fast at your insane quality level! Can't wait to see what you guys do next!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for the support!

Now I know what the term "fab work" means: fabulous work 😎🤟

[@SalvagetoSavage]

"fabulous" has to be said in the voice and tone of a French supervillain though! lol

I always try to wait to see what and why you do things the way you do. It’s always a cool different thing, 😎

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad you're liking the content!

[@trolledyou7032]

These screen bezels would look sick in silver, nicely complementing door handles.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Some hard chrome would be nice on them. You'll have to wait and see though what we end up doing with them once the interior goes together for the final time!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

It's so nice to see so much test fitting; after the slightest little 'tweek'. A lot of people don't seem to realize that the smallest change can throw fitment off so much. So great to see the S2S crew doing it right!

[@miguelvaldez6837]

Another AWSOME video Mikey, killer job on the door panels , love putting all electronics under the seats 👌

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!!

[@thomasstott527]

man this thing is looking good man you guys are killin it!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!

[@mrm4155]

The attention to detail is on point. You were spot on with adding that trim bezel. This is one bad motha trucka!

[@richardbrown2447]

Maybe hing the bed at the back Gas struts on the front Lift up and expose all that great craftmanship Just a thought 😮😊

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We're definitely gonna add some hinges to show off all those components! Thanks for all of the support!

Thank you! We're stoked you like it!

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

You guys are killing it with content. Keep up the good work! 👍 Here is my 2 cents on the door panels: 😉 I would keep the panels as one flat piece. You would not have to deal with the warping and it would not be as flimsy. Even add some strengthening groove beads going in towards the voids in the door, behind the bump outs. I would then make the bump outs separate. The bump outs could even be flat as well. The bump out and beveled edges effect, can be shaped with firm upholstery foam. You could even make the bump outs entire of wood (plywood or MDF). Router the edges to create the bevel. This would have an added effect of sound deadening when opening and closing the door (no metal wobble or rattle sound). Attach it the same way you did. Just epoxy the studs in place of welding them.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

That's a great idea! Having some additional sound deadening would be really helpful. We'll definitely consider trying out that route on the next one!

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

@@SalvagetoSavage BTW, since you are painting the metal panel. I would consider folding the edges. To give it a finished look. It would also give the added benefit of strengthening the perimeter of the panel. Resulting in a better fit when attaching it to the door (no edges lifting up from warping).

[@billrutter5246]

badass bro keep up the good work

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you! Will do!

[@make-it-work4u]

They have stud welders so you can attach threaded studs to sheet metal without drilling it works like a body shop stud gun dent puller but alot more power to attach m4-m10 hardware.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thanks for the heads up! We'll check in to grabbing one of those!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!

[@SaqibKhaliq]

I really hate the spoilers at the beginning. Great build though, and enjoyed the rest of the video 👍🏽

[@cannondevin]

I think the easiest way for the door panels would be to use cowlboard and have the interior guy shape the design with foam prior to sewing and adhesive. But your way looks amazing also. That’s Just my suggestion

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Definitely an awesome idea for next time! We like testing out different ideas and ways to do things to see if there's a way that works best for our future builds!

[@ericthompson3551]

Congratulations, you turned a pretty nice driver into a show queen that is useless for anything except catching compliments.

[@SomeBoredGuy69]

If you want a daily driver, go get an F150 fleet truck. This beauty has survived this long. It deserves to be treated as a show queen! 👍

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Some people have trucks to haul stuff for work and park it in their garage next to their trucks they only take out on weekends to turn some heads. We build these for our customers, and as long as they like em, we're happy too!

[@bhlom4135]

Bad ass man! Y'all never cease to impress with the vids. Y'all are some talented & fart smellers!!

[@CrankAddict]

I like the idea of aluminum for the panels (no rusting issues) but the contour would have been better made using MDF. You can cut and shape and drill and do whatever you want before it is covered. It also adds a lot of stiffness to the panel and sound deadening for speakers. You can use 1/4" or maybe a couple of 1/8" pieces for more complex shapes. Foam spray can also be used for even bigger contours like if you wanted to blend the panel into a wrap around dash like modern cars. I would have used plastic for the backing because it is easier to work with and allows me to staple upholstery onto the back side (but you can't paint plastic very well.)

[@dickhead7986]

so glad someone said it. that is not how its done.

[@enricodigenova8112]

Great job mike love your work 👍👍👍

[@MrPhatkatz]

I think you should have switched the placement of your switches on the dash. Because in general GM would have the windshield wipers and the headlights on the left side of the steering wheel and the ignition on the right side of the steering wheel. But that's just me.... 👍👍👍

[@dickhead7986]

its not just you

[@LikeWatchingPaintDry]

Cool

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad you like it!

[@peterf.4268]

Regarding the hardware you welded to the back of the door metal, have you guys ever used Nelson stud welding? I'm sheet metal journeyman in San Diego & I used to work in a shop, we would routinely weld aluminum studs 1/4-20 studs to the back of aluminum panels (typically to be attached to the exterior of a building). The welding equipment is small enough to be placed on a rolling cart & uses 110 power. Obviously it isn't steel but that is both a positive & negative (they make make them for steel as well, im just not sure). Love the content.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Yes, I grew up in my father’s metal fabrication shop. We built stainless hoods and kitchen equipment. We had a steel stud “welder” I was thinking the same thing when I was doing those. Thanks for the thought brother

[@richardbrown2447]

Put a rosette in the gear cable hole

[@justinmalone8518]

that paint line would forever bother me. Id have to send that somewhere else

[@joeethereal2968]

Notification Squad 🦾

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Glad to see the notifications are working! Thanks for stopping by and watching the new episode. We appreciate you!

[@serhiyUman]

As always good job done. Actualy dont know if any reasons exists to make sound isolations of doors, roof and all exept windows. Any way good luck 👍👏✌️

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It helps a bit with the road noise. A lot of the stuff we use is not only sound deadener but insulation as well, which helps the AC keep the truck a bit cooler too!

[@ricon.i474]

Very nice high quality built but do you really need to use the ugly whiper and light switch? I think a new style chevrolet express light switch or digital switch panel would be nicer . But i’m not a pro 😬 the work you guys are doing is very inspiring

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We wanted to go with something simple to start. The good thing about switches like these is that they almost always have the same mounting diameter, so it's not hard to switch them out after the fact!

[@Sufficient_Distance]

Rivet nuts for the shifter? I would take the time to weld in captive nuts if I was driving it. Awesome build

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Thank you!! We've used these rivnuts for similar shifter assemblies before and have had nothing but a positive experience. We definitely get what you're saying though with welding in some nuts to thread a bolt through.

[@robertbisson964]

Did you forget the arm rest and pull handle in the doors ?? Great job, love to see it when done.

[@LuisRamirez-ts3rp]

My savages 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Happy Wednesday Luis!

[@b6s4shelter]

Got to say Mikey, that's a couple sad looking light and wiper switches for $50K or $100K + truck.... also Everyone is used to starting a car with their right hand. and wipers and light on the left... For the rest, she's looking good.

[@b_for_brett]

Some billet buttons would have been nice but hard to say not knowing what the dash will end up looking like

[@mjwhite130]

Just an observation. But i think the window crank and door handle are gonna be tough getting on with padding and leather. On my 68 they are snug with just the metal panel and the grommet.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

If that's the case, we might need to just extend them a little bit. It might be a bit of a headache, but it should be manageable!

[@mjwhite130]

Yup i have no doubt you guys will get it figured out!! Great truck!

[@gtuttle4]

I would have used MDF for the door panels.

[@biglakehotrods381]

Whats the brand of the start switch? Did that also come with proximity key fobs? Dash turned out wild

[@billjohnson8794]

Would it be best to line up the trim holes on the bed to the ones on the cab?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

You can even pop the trim back in and use it to help line everything up. We just wanted the body lines to look correct throughout the entire truck, rather than relying on the trim to tell us where it would be.

[@769707]

Nice work guys!, what kind of shifter and linkeage is that? thanks

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's a Lokar sport shifter! The passthroughs that we're using though are from ICT billet!

[@masterg8189]

💪👊👏

[@fishpony1211]

Tht bed kinda looks like it belongs on a different year truck. All said and sone im sure it will look great

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's quite possible. We ended up making it work though, even if that was the case!

[@damienriggs2691]

You should treat the doors with dynamat so it doesn't sound like a tin can

[@keithjimison7163]

Loving the C10 content! What's the paint code for that blue paint? I got a 1966 C10 thats begging for that color.

[@EmmittReed]

What bulkhead fitting/pass through for the shifter cable is that?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Most of the pass throughs that we're using on this build are from ICT billet!

[@Billyspacerocket]

Love S2S builds / Question from a long time viewer / What’s happening with the Tesla C10? - I must have lost track - Or has it been sold of disappeared? Love all your work / Just want to know more.. Thanks!

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We still have the truck, it’s been a bit neglected with all the other work going on. But yes looking for a new home and possibly some upgrades once it’s sold. Hopefully we’ll be making a come back with it soon. Thanks for watching and following along

[@damienriggs2691]

Just use 1/2 body spacer

Awesome, where is chevelle? Since Tim left it doesnt get much attention 😢

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It's getting worked on! It's at the stage where things take a little longer to get done since it's a lot of finalizing and adjusting. So we want to make sure we have a good amount of work filmed to give y'all an episode!

[@troydority265]

Would you guys wanna come look at my dodge w100 classic 318 4 speed long bed?

[@SalvagetoSavage]

Shoot us over a message on IG!

[@anetworkservice]

Dude! I like your work and like the show/channel. But… I don’t think you should have swapped the push to start and the switches. The industry standard has them on the opposite side of the steering column. It might seem cool, but it will be confusing. All of the other cars will have them on left and right. Now you have them on right and left. It’s custom, I get it. Just my opinion. I was hoping you wouldn’t get the the holes. Pick a car in your head, close your eyes and have someone call out one of the three switch locations and see where you reach…

[@SalvagetoSavage]

We get what you're saying, but it's not all that confusing once you're in it, on top of the fact that you're only hitting the button once when you start driving, and once when you're done. It's not the type of component that you need a split second reaction for. We appreciate the feedback though!

[@ДаниилВайновский]

Братцы а чего в цвет не попали?

[@Tukn6s]

Cab is not sitting on the frame correctly or else the bed would have lined up to where it needed to without doing all that extra cutting and making mounts to make it fit.. i guaranteed the front sheet metal, core support and front bumper ain't going to line up either.

[@SalvagetoSavage]

It all lined up perfectly fine!
