Re: MY build thread...
 

Got them from a swap meet in lawrance saterday 5-2-09. They are all over ebay for around $75-85 but I got them for 84 with rubber vc gaskets. I looked at the chrome ones just like these but the finish was real weavy and looked cheap. Thanks guys.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Just a teaser but I finally got to work on my truck again and welded in the door handle delete plates I made but I'm kind of broke after hawaii so it will be tough to get things done for a while I will have pics later tonight. Also did some polishing on my carb.

Re: MY build thread...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thats what I do for a living although now I just weld because theres no work but before all my jobs were fab jobs like floor pans,rockers,cab patches,if it was rusted we had to make it. Thats was fun. Now its just SLOW. Thanks guysat this rate I might be done next year LOL.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well no progress other than grinding cause I've been workin on some side jobs for my buddies 74 drag truck like solid motor mounts and an aluminum overflow tank. Heres the tank but cant find the mount pics.

Re: MY build thread...
 

looks good keep up the good work

Re: MY build thread...
 

Did you weld up the joint on the hood? They look great! How difficult was that? I am thinking about doing that as well if it's not too dangerous (warpage)
