Conde Cruiser build (1 Viewer)

[CondeCruiser]

So, after a couple months of having no time, I was finally able to get back to work on this today. Got some more patching done. All that's left for body work is the rear corners, which I'm dreading. After that, the body comes off the frame one last time to paint the undercarriage and line the inside.

That’s sweet work. Want to do mine this winter?
I spent the day rebuilding a mower deck. 2 of the 3 spindles for the blades were completely destroyed.

Sure, if I get mine done by then. That mower deck has seen its better days.

Well, today I decided it was time to get after these rear corners. I've been dreading them since I bought the panels. Took about 3 hours and they turned out pretty nice. Started finish welding everything and ran out of .023 wire so had to call it a day.

So.... you know when your watching a cooking channel and they mix all the ingredients and then throw it the oven, then they pull out the dish they made like an hour before hand? Ta da!!!

I bought it from a good friend. The story of this thing goes back to around 2011 ish. I sold some rear quarters and other parts to a random guy in PA. He then sold them to another random guy in PA. That guy built a 40 and then sold it to my buddy in 2014. He hardly ever drove it. About a month ago he said he was going to sell it but was only going to sell it to me. So he gave me a deal I could not pass up. It's not a perfect resto truck, but it's a great driver for the wife and I. Ryan @OTRAMM knows the truck well. He's done a bunch of work on it over the years. It runs like a sewing machine.

Oh come on , seriously !?!?!

Oh come on , seriously !?!?!

Uhhuh

 

[CondeCruiser]

So I'm either going to part this out or sell it all together. Priorities have changed and I don't have the time to work on it anymore.

 

[Explorer4Hire]

Oh no. I just read through the whole thread. You were on a tear! Top work!

 

[WeThePeople]

So it’s like the last pictures you posted?

 

[nautiquelover]

I also just read the entire thread and was looking forward to seeing it finished. Keep us updated on the sale and how much.

 

[Jakes40]

@CondeCruiser you have a price? I can’t afford it but would like to know.

 

[CondeCruiser]

Never mind, I'm keeping it.

Got the seat mount welded up and the seats some what mounted today. Have to get some M10 nut setter so I can install the nut serts for the rear bolts for the seat mount. I will grab them tomorrow.

Seat frame is all welded and in bolted in. Had these Marathon seat covers that I took out of my '76, and figured, what the hell, beats spending $300+ for new seat covers from Sphincter offroad. I think they look pretty good against the Spring Green.
