Nothing at all, going to Goodguys at Texas Motor Speedway ! Almost missed though due to unscheduled trip to ER yesterday for a kidney stone. Almost ruined my weekend.

Went to the paint shop and looked at the progress. Came home and ordered a few shiney goodies. Bumpers, grille, mirror... etc.

Finally got it running and took it for a test drive. It crapped out 4 miles into the drive. I troubleshot it and ended up changing the coil on the side of the road. I then drove it home, parked it and now I'm shopping for an HEI.

Went to a local car show today.
Feels good when the judges compliment you on all the work, labor & fabrication done on ya truck;)
Sometimes theres more than just a pretty paint job and chrome.
It was strange...they didn't have a Poe/Street class.

The lady laughed when she read the class section of the registration form.:lol:
Sir I think you spelled this wrong.;)

I always bring my Fart Machine to the car shows/crusins and hide under the seat.
So when people bend over to look inside....
Baaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrpppppppp!

What kind of wood did you use for your bed floor? Wood preparartions? I know some people don't like the nots etc shoeing but I think it gives it character.

XtechX, it's 3/4" hickory. For prep, not a whole lot, except for sanding... and more sanding. From 120 grit to 800 grit, then 10 coats of urethane brushed on. For the knots, I used a clear acrylic that you can buy as a powder mix. It's the same sort of stuff that a bar would use to make their counters/bars smooth. I agree, the knots give it character. There's a particularly large knot, that I filled, and my wife mentioned (after I'd filled it) that I should've suspended something in it, like a skull, or a small Transformer!

OUCH! Sorry to hear that.

I replaced my fuel tank sending unit. Removed the old tore up visors and replaced them with some new, albeit cheap ones, that came in a box with the truck. Also sandblasted the rear license plate lamp bracket to get it ready for paint.

Ordered some headlight hardware from LMC,buckets,bulb rings,adjuster screws,springs it all came out to $106.00 :jdp: and that's not the main bracket that holds the buckets or the headlight bezels or the headlight bulbs!!!

Flat towed my truck up to my garage from my friends farm so i can start getting busy! I purchased a few cab braces and thats on list as well as trying to get the old girl running. I also confirmed today the engine is a power pack 283 from a 57 chevy...a nice surprise which will makes my little hot rod truck! She coughed and farted a bit after I cleaned the points but I ran out of battery power so hopefully this week I can bet it running and put a plan together. Winter is near so I have get a move on!
