Looking good Duane, nice to see it coming along so quickly!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

looks great!!!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Very nice! Will really set up the underhood to look spectacular.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Thanks Brandon!
Thanks Mike! I have a feeling you'll like what I'm posting below.
Thanks Doug! I think it will too.

Got it back last night. Need to do some undercoating along the footwell area to clean it up, but it's about ready to start stuffing the engine and everything else back in it! Oh, and the shaved cowl I bought from my painter and had him paint is on it too. It's a little warped, so I'll have to do some tweaking of it, but overall fits much better than the one I had on it before, and this one will keep most of the trash out of the cowl.

I also started stripping the undercoating off the inner fenders. There's some surface rust underneath it all, so I sprayed some converter on it, but ran out (hence the bare spots).

Clean Look ... Duane

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

The firewall turned out awesome :metal:

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

That looks awesome! I like the smooth cowl panel. I'm curious how much less air can be drawn in with them like that?

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Thanks Mike!
Thanks Ryan!
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Keith!
Thanks Ryan! I like the panel too. Since there isn't a couple screws in the grille area to hold it down, I need to do some tweaking to get it to sit lower near the windshield. It's currently resting on the wiper spindles, which I assume isn't a good thing. As for the air flow, I'm not looking for air to be drawn in as I don't typically use my fresh air vents. I have A/C and warm/humid South Texas air, so I'm not too worried about it. The A/C doesn't pull from fresh air either. I wanted the smooth cowl so I could keep as much of the trash (leaves, pine needles, etc.) out of the cowl area as possible.

Before the weather got cold here, I managed to get some undercoating below the new paint. I couldn't leave the couple bare steel parts or the old undercoating alone. It just didn't look as good.

Had to order some wire terminals to get some of my wiring back into the cab since I'm trying to clean it up, and my extra holes are now gone. :lol: Once I get those (after Christmas) I'll get back on reassembly.

Thanks for all the info and the very good pics.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Thanks for checking out my thread. I hope my slow pace won't be too boring. :lol:
That looks like a nice score Brian! Sounds like you have some really good plans for your swap. Thanks for the compliments too! I really appreciate it.




I'm hoping I can get some more updates in the near future. Been spending time with family around the Christmas break. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Firewall turned out great!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Thanks Ryan!

I've been slowly assembling everything again. Painting some accessories and the back (interior) of the firewall has caused some delay since dry times are longer in cooler and humid weather. It's been border line weather for painting with rattle can, but it's gotta get done. Here are some pics:

And my painter has been working on the inner fenders a bit over the holiday break.

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

What color do you plan for the inner fenders? Everything is looking great!

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

looks amazing. You've inspired me to attempt much more for my engine bay than originally planned. thanks

Re: Knomadd '71 SWB C-10
 

Hi Duane,
Looking great I love that color of blue.I had a question about your brake lines that run up to your wilwood proportioning valve.Did you buy those already made up or shorten and reflare the factory lines.I bought the same wildwood setup a few months ago but haven't installed it yet.
Thanks Brian
