also got my front calipers :metal::metal:
gonna do all the break lines pretty soon

bad news is that i couldnt get the front wheels with enough offset to clear so i have to widen my wheel tubs

also got a set of 205/70s put on the new front wheels

gonna pull it out of the shop for better pics here in a lil while

i have bricks between the frame and the trailing arms to hold it up cause thats about where i want the stance.. one brick is bout 1/2 taller than the other.. also still gotta do alot of adjustment to get all the body lines right.. especially the doors

Looking good! That cloth wire covering you got, was it part of your wiring kit, or did you get it else where? Its the same color as my cloth covered sparkplug wires I bought for the hotrod.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 
thanx for all the cool comments!!!!

and i got the cloth loom from ebay
the wiring came from speedway motors.. it is just a universal 12 circut streetrod kit.. my truck wont have much in it so it should be pretty easy
here is a link to the loom

Lookin awesome man..great ideas and great work..did you ever find a better adhesive for the door panels? I wrapped mine in vinyl about a month ago and set them aside, just noticed that it did NOT hold well..lol any luck?

coulter 09-21-2012 03:33 PM

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

coulter 09-21-2012 03:45 PM

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

You might want to scap the old material, if you used a spray can adhesive. Hope that helps. Truck looks super nice.

well i got some small updates.. been working like crazy but not a whole lot of pics
since the porta walls didnt wanna stay on my back tires i decided to paint them.. ive read alot of people saying that krylon fusion paint works pretty good to paint tires with so i figured id give it a shot.. first i cleaned the tires with bleach, then soapy hot water, scuffed them with some scotchbrite.. i only did too just to make sure it was gonna turn out ok.. so far no probs and looks pretty good to me.

also got my front brake lines kinda done. need to pull them back off and im gonna paint them black and use some good looking clamps to clamp the lines together. ill get more pics of them later

got my wiring started.. i routed it all where it needs to go so i could mark where to make cuts and put wire loom. then i pulled it back out and started covering it.. still waiting on some weatherpack connecters.

the pic of the plug coming out of the firewall is the wires for the turn signals. just a sample to see how it will look.
