So your the one! Now I have a bunch of wet cardboard in my driveway. :lol:

Yep. Sorry that was me. Of course I had a dentist appointment this morning so now the truck is covered in water spots for punishment! :dohh:

Thx everyone, I am very proud of her! People ask me all the time if I am finished? I tell them I don't know if I'll ever be "finished" but I driver now!

Started painting my truck after 1 1/2 of working my butt off.
Got the door jams done and a few other pieces. Today we are painting the inside of the cab and the top of the cab.

Yeha!

Nice looking surprise there, eh? :metal:


I just took Cecilia out and slowed her timing to 2.5 BTDC and she's running alot better, but the battery is crapping out. I'm running her off of a jump box for now.

I also put in a new radio antenna. Now my radio works!

Finally I was pretty worn down but I sprayed her down with paint remover again and power washed another layer of primer off of her. That's 3 hours of fun. Then I sat down with the kids, got bored and started hammering out dents in her fenders while I sat. Lazy bodywork FTW.

Replaced heater core, to stop the leaking and the smell from the core!
Took about an hour!

Starting removing all the old paint from the firewall. Apparently removed it while it was hanging upside down from the garage ceiling. Why do these pictures keep flipping?

Painted my other exhaust manifold.

All I did to mine was move it outside and wash off all the gasoline residue from the previously leaking fuel lines. Now my garage doesn't stink like gas anymore.

Saturday spent the day drinking coffee, napping on the garage floor, and cleaning up the 73 3.08-1 posi that is going in my 62.

Removed the saddles and shock mounts with the torch and cleaned all that up before painting it Saturday night.

Sunday afternoon my son and I pulled the original rear-end out, removed the coils and cleaned up the mess.

Good weekend -

Man you guy's have some mean weather in Kansas, no wonder Dorthy didn't like it. Seriously though, not cool on the truck getting beat up is it. House looks pretty rough too.

Installed NOS heater switch (and threw away jumper that had been on my dash for 6 months!) Built some speaker boxes, and got rid of excess wiring in cab.

Installed the oil pan I painted last week, crossing my fingers that it doesn't leak too bad. Did a dry fit of the correct size flex plate and new starter. Also ordered a few parts in the hopes of having the truck on the road before the weekend.

Last night I removed my 62's trailing arms from the chassis and ordered the Prothane poly bushings from S~R.
