Wow! I like it. I don't care for the appearance of black transport wheels, but those look good in a light colour.

Consider stripping the black paint off those caps. We did a set of GMC caps like that for buddy's 67 and did the letters in red and they look fantastic.

Thanks! I used Rustoleum and mixed blue and yellow with white until I got this shade of green. I'm quite happy with how it has turned out!

I installed new rear shocks today. It seems to have helped a little with softening the ride quality but not as much as I would like.

Where did you get your air intake

MT65 11-07-2020 02:38 PM

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 
That is the stock system from an 04 GTO, I made the support under the mass air sensor, to carry the sensor and the air cleaner..I had it from the donor car, it works great

I used my leftover exhaust parts to build an H-pipe. It was tricky since I run my pipes outside of the frame. I put it just under the crossmember for the e-brake mechanism. It works good too. It killed the resonance from the exhaust and knocked a couple of decibels off. The welds look pretty rough, but since I pulled the headpipes to do it, I filled them up with water, marked the leaks and passed over them one more time with the ol' Harbor Freight wire feed so as to get it sealed up. Not too bad for an old "poolguy" though I'd say.

2020 though not a good year for many of us, we did make some progress on the truck.
If it hadn’t been for Covid we would have finished it mid-summer.
We were able to get the following done -
• Body side molding installed
• Dash installed and all switches hooked up and operable.
• Radio installed.
• Fenders, header panel, grill, installed.

What are those seats from?
I like that they look a lot like buddy buckets.
