Saturday me and Evan got to go listen to my old engine fire up. Pretty cool hearing it run after sitting for over ten years. Check out my instagram link. Still having trouble uploading videos the correct way.

Wow, over 10 years! Been a long time coming, huh? :lol: Congrats :metal:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Phillip. It's the little 406 I sold a couple months ago to a friend. After hearing it run I wished I would have kept it.

Oh, I gotcha now! Does he have a project that it's going into?

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

He is half owner of Jim and Marty's Hot Rod Fabrication Shop. I'm not sure if it is going into one of his personal projects or in a customer's project. I will try to post pictures after it gets installed.

Sounds as though there is a bit o' cam in there!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Yes sir. It has a Isky 292 296 duration with 505 535 lift. We had a lot of fun with it when the truck was road worthy.

engine sounds great, nothing like a hard pulling small block.

Thanks Flip

I got my undercoating starter kit in yesterday. I'm using 3M 08964 Body Schutz with the 3M 08801 no cleanup applicator gun. The cab floor will be sprayed first. After seeing how far the first two cans go I will be able to see how much more I will need. Plans are to apply it to the bottom side of the cab and also the rest of the sheetmetal. Maybe after monsoon season I can post some new progress.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

I found a little free time yesterday so sprayed my cab floor with the 3M undercoating. Very nice product. The bottom side will get applied at a later date.

One more

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

A little progress yesterday. With a little help from Evan we got the rear inner wheel wells and the inside of the front fenders scuffed for the 3M undercoating. I'm thinking the undercoating should be here today or tomorrow and hopefully will be applied this weekend. Also planning on removing the cab to undercoat it as well. It should be a fun weekend.

looking good Greg! it's nice when the kids help out! here lately my kids just want to get in to the pool, lol!!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Good to see you & Evan making progress together. :)

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Truck is coming along nice

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks guys. It's always fun spending time together but it's even better spending time in the garage. He has been out of school a week and started football practice yesterday. I think the correct term is weight training. But every time I work on the old truck he right beside of me trying to learn all he can. Good times.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Looking Great and time with the boy...:metal:

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks Don

Here are the before and after shots of the bottom of the cab while doing the undercoating. Still have a ways to go but pretty happy with the progress.

Nice work!

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Thanks TJ. Hoping to get the front sheet metal sprayed in a week or so.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

Last weekend I got a little work done on the truck. I swapped the engine plates to the new set that mover the engine closer to the firewall by an inch and a half. Doesn't sound like much but I like the location a lot better.

Re: Greg65 build thread
 

A little more progress. Welded up the extra holes on the left inner fender. I'm going to be running the wiring for my headlights on the bottom side of the inner fender so three bolts were welded in place to help hold the wiring.
