I finally got the F-body oil pan installed along with the electronic gas pedal, and the stand alone harness w/fuse block. While I was working in the firewall area I did a ton of clean up to it and spent a couple of weeks deciding on a color scheme so I could paint the firewall while I had the cab off. So I ended up picking this green with some vanilla accents.

The random painted part pic is a paint color test panel I made.

That color is definitely 'period' like we discussed.

Looking good Danny. Great color.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I agree,... the color is perfect!

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I really don't appreciate you putting that wire harness and throttle pedal on the hood of my favorite Riviera. You're going to scratch it!;)

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I haven't look ed at the thread for awhile. the paint looks great!!!

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

EEHHH, don't worry about the paint job on the Riv it's a crappy repaint some hack did. I plan on repainting it real nice next winter anyway.


Thanks for all the compliments guys. I took the hood to work today and primed it and painted the underside of it, then when I got home tonight I dropped the motor and trans. in the frame. So I seem to be making good progress .......at the moment atleast.

I'll have an update and some fresh pics up soon.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Pretty much what I thought. They sent me a picture of a finished truck and it looked like a foot or so left. I need to tow occasionally so I'll have a boat anchor of a Dana 60 in the back. I wish they made more than the extreme kit. That's all they are building for the time being.

Ironically the only part that is left to add is the box. I was going with a MAR-K box and was going to leave the stake pockets out for a cleaner look. I suppose I could leave the stake pockets and build some sides to use if I need to actually carry anything.

Im sure you could go with a shorter notch or do some modifying to the one they sell to make it suit your needs. Just throwing ideas out there.

Man you are really making some good progress.

Have you mounted the DBW pedal yet? Did you have to modify the pedal lever length? Got any pictures?
