Project beginning w/questions

I have started my frame off and doing panel replacement. Thought that i would add some pictures. I took alot of measurements, but was wondering if anyone had some general lists of measurements for installing parts like door posts etc.

Looks like you have a good start on things. Keep it up.

By the way, WOW that is a big shop.

 

[rcmbronc]

Still wondering if anyone has any more measurements for me to try to use to back mine up with.

Yeah I am lucky, the shop came with the house I bought. It is 38'x75' and already has a basic paint booth set up in it. The PO was a wood refinisher. I am sure that I will put it to use. The only issue is that is has low ceiling. Not good for working on my super duty.

I'll look tonight.

Im sure MnkyBiz has the measurements youre looking for. Hes doing alot of body work himself and I think working on a tech article for the site. Maybe hell chime in, I need some of those measurements myself.

 

[MnkyBiz]

I am pretty sure I just sent you the measurements.

If you didn't get them,please let me know and I will resend.

Now, I am back to the sack. I need to shake the flu before the weekend! I would hate to waste valuable welding time!!!!

[MnkyBiz]

I think the monkey took up residence somewhere else inside my body!

What are you doing wrong???

I haven't seen a single beer in a photo there!

Oooooh the travesty!

Ok, back to serious broncoitus, it looks fantastic! Very nice work!

[weps]

ha!! i was just going to suggest a few beers! and also mention the pabst blue ribbon can compliments the look of bare sheet metal particulary well.

 

[HotWheels]

looks darn good to me.

Dont worry, there has been plenty of coors light bottles put to rest on this project so far.

Time consuming work, but it will be worth it in the end. Next step is to mount the door posts and new rocker panels. This appears to be quite a challenge.

One other questions, I have a bad taillight housing. How bad is this to replace? JBG says that there new pieces are much better quality than before. Anyone have any experience with this?
