Installed KYB Gas-A-Justs to try to keep the top of my tires off the fender well. They help some over the standard Monroes, but still touch when in tight corners.

It’s hard when your truck looks so good with that stance to change it at all

So true. I have 4" drop springs I can't use because my Monroes couldn't handle them. These KYBs raise the front slightly, unfortunately, and there's still the occasional rub. Might work if I had shorter front wheels. :waah:

I put the doors, fenders, cowl, & cowl extensions back on the truck for the last time until final prep and paint. I still have to work on gap alignments on the cowl extensions, cowl, and hood, and I also need to block out the hood.

Greased all of the front end zerk fittings...didn't realize there were so many! Hopefully that will take care of my squeaking front end.

Starting on replacing the bed floor. I have a '72 parts truck with a steel floor bed. I am going to cut down the bed floor and adapt it to the stepside . It will be reversable. I will do a wood floor when I build the truck into a hotrod. I just want it usable now on the cheap. I have the parts and the skill and the time just no money for the replacement bed parts right now.

I am going with seamist jade with a white roof. The paint is a 2 year only color for 62-63. Very rare but I really like it.

I've been working for a week on aligning all of the panels on Sanity. I want to make sure it all lines up reasonably well after all the body work done.
I set out the bed wood and strips to get ready for installing to measure and mark the bolt holes that need to be drilled.

Finally finished my driver side exhaust over the rear end, under the panhard out to the tip, with the weight restrictions and short shop time after hip surgery, everything takes forever……

Nice! Is that all tig welded?

MT65 12-05-2021 09:50 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 
Yes, tig weld. On finishing, mig tacked during mock up…for myself it’s easier to give it a quick tack. I make all my exhaust systems to be able to be taken completely off without cutting anything, the vband clamps allow that.

Thank you, its tedious and time consuming, but I like to build my own, lots of these pieces were left over from my last 2 cars…

MT65 meticulous job on your exhaust! Looks great. Don't think that I have seen one tucked so close in behind the tire before.

Thank you for the nice words, its got just under an inch on clearance, takes more speed than this truck will do to make the tire grow that much, at least I hope so🤔🤔🤔

Had to run to Home Depot for a fitting last night. When I came back out to the truck, the sunset looked great, so I snapped a few pics with my iPhone. Wish I would've had a real camera and been in a better location than HD's parking lot, but for a total impromptu shoot, I think these turned out well.

Finished mounting my rear sway bar, a front bar from an early 70’s Camaro should be fine, may have to fine tune end links when its on its wheels…
