Wow, can't believe I forgot this... took the truck for a short drive! First time since I've owned it. Three forward gears work, reverse works, brakes work, clutch is good. A nice starting point. And... working original radio!

What a great day.

Washed the truck last night causing it to rain this morning! Made a minor warm engine idle adjustment from 500 rpm to about 650 rpm where it is supposed to be.

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.
