Hey guyz! Quick update for ya! Yesterday I received some parts for the 292. I went ahead and got a different air filter because the one I originally got just wasn't doing it. Fins were to small and close to really paint between. So I settled with this and am super happy with it. Got some chrome wire loom as well. Figured ya'all can see that when I start looming wires. lol Until next time gents. :chevy:

I tell you, TJ, if I wasn't going to stick to stock with my 292 I would have a lot of ideas from your build! Looks great! Kind of makes me want another truck with a 292 to play with....

Air cleaner looks nice!! I was thinking of buying one that was similar but now I am going to find a way of making it look different.

Feels like I didn't get much done, but I did get a fair amount done. lol Lot's more to do, supposed to rain tomorrow so that may screw up my plans to prime this in, but we'll see. If it's raining I'll do more sanding. :chevy:

The Firewall is looking good!

Hi guys, well every chance I get I've been sanding away on this cab and ordering primer and parts. :metal:

We now have a new work schedule at the shop so I am now getting Sunday and Monday's off All month every month....nice in the fact it means more truck time....but sucks in that it takes some pay check away. Oh well...I'll make it up with truck time. :chevy:

SO, for a good Kick start into getting Mondays off....after school a buddy and I hammered on sanding this cab for a good 4 hours. Took awhile....but I am pretty much ready for primer. Not much more needs to be sanded before I can cover the whole cab in epoxy primer and mount it on the frame for some modifications. :bann:

Rest of the firewall is done, dash is done, roof and drip rail is done, back half of the cab done, and today I finished the back upper wall of the cab, pillars are done, and the door jams are done.

While sanding, I've been ordering parts to get the 292 running. Of course nothing goes as planning and it looks like I won't be breaking the motor in this month....but we are getting closer and closer! Ordered these gauges from summit racing so I can watch things while breaking in the motor. Cheap, but nice looking gauges. Also ordered some wire and loom so I can route the fuel pump wires.

Well..that's all for now guyz! We should have some more updates this weekend. Weather is supposed to turn cold and rainy for 4 days straight....meaning it could rain this weekend so I am not sure when I'll be priming. Guess we'll find out! Until next time.... :chevy:

I had the opportunity to see this truck in person and I can say that it is even more amazing than the pictures let on, I hope someday when both of our trucks are runners we can meet up and go cruising together.
