The 54 GMC is at Jus Cuz Customs to get the body work and paint completed. They are taking pictures along the way and they will be posted as they are received.
Due to the condition of the cab, there was a lot of hidden damage to the passenger side of the cab. Decision was made to find another cab to replace the damaged area.
Mitch, Barry and the rest of the crew at Jus Cuz Customs will take care of Murray and Nicole’s 54 GMC to turn it into a Jewel.
Body Panel creation for the 54 GMC
Talked with Mitch as I needed my trailer for another project and asked to see if I could drop off the frame and body parts for the 54 GMC. They were able to accommodate my request. Thanks Mitch.
Mitch sent me a little picture that will make things exciting soon. Keep checking back for more updates.
Well the frame came into the shop. The Cab with modifications was installed back onto the frame and we found out that the intake was interfered with the firewall. The new intake was ordered so the firewall can be adjusted correctly. Great progress by the crew at Jus Cuz.
Looked at options for the Intake as I knew the owners did not want the stock intake. Looked at several option and it was decided to go with the intake in the picture. Now Barry was able to proceed with the Firewall. While getting the firewall, the Jus Cuz crew came up with a great option for the Firewall. Adding the GMC Logo does two things. 1) breaks up the flat area and 2) strengthens the firewall. Lots of modifications have happened in the last while. Tunnel cover was made and it was a lot less then I initially figured. Great Job to the Jus Cuz crew.
Looks like we have some hot and cold. Go Pedal is also in place.
They have gotten to the point at the body shop that they are happy how the cab fits to the engine and transmission. I was asked to come and remove the Engine and Transmission and take it back to my shop. YaHOO !! Another step in the right direction with more progress.
To follow for more, go back to the Assembly Page to see progress on the Engine and Transmission.
