Last night started on the gas door install. Made a template and determined the curve is almost dead on to match the TF bed; the stock inside filler part will not work without significant modification and the inner panel is history. Details will be posted in my build thread.

Bed installed one fender painted

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Damn, that looks so good. What color is that? Did you do all the body work and the painting yourself? Products used, if you don't mind telling us.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Dan , yes all done in my garage, Color used was 89 gm autumn maple met single stage LIMCO paint. Rear bumper and tail lights finished. Yes there are some minor dings that showed up but not to worried because this will be more of fun/usable truck than a show truck

About time.lol Just joking man it looks really nice.

I tried to get some work done this weekend and a neighbor call the police on me.lol Man all I was doing was DA sanding. The cop was cool he just told me "hey one of you neighbors called but I can't tell you who it was. I had to come out because they called but you can go back to work."lol Man it was one o'clock in the afternoon. I lost the desire to work after that, I have to move to the outskirts of town.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thats happened to me a couple times banging out the dents on the fenders, cop shows up and says "we have a complaint about ....., but hey nice truck. Well I don't see any complaint here" then about a half a dozen questions about the truck. Then he tells me "Well have a great day, Get back to work and can't wait to see it on the road." :cool:

In my neighborhood we get suspicious if it is too quiet. Older part of town, lots of gearheads and no neighborhood rules. Out of courtesty everyone usually only does heavy grinding and banging from 8am to 9pm.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Ok, well then try one o'clock in the morning and see if they like it better?!:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .............no ! i got a ''neighbor who did that - no regard at all for other ppl who wrk late and come home late (me) -the man showed up twice - finally impounded his vehicle then he sold it - i am all for workin on trucks but c;mon man common sense ?this kid had none

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I still think I have the worst neighbor living beside me, the cop once showed up because of a noise complaint about my wind chime. even the cop was annoyed at the complaint from my neighbor.

spent the part of the day making mounting plates for the motor mount, I think 3/8 plate steal will be strong enough to hold the motor. and yes i know way over kill but thats all i had laying around.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I just started a new job this week working from midnight till noon. I don't know when I'm going to be able to work on my truck that does not disturb the wifes sleep, much less the neighbors. :(
All I did to my truck this week is clean up the garage area around it and get my gas bottle filled.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Wow, you must live up the street from me... I got the city called out for having my 65 vw bus in my driveway with the engine pulled out. Gave me a notice to move it or it would be towed.
Now I have my girls' truck in the same place, engine removed sitting next to it with front clip off of it and nobody says anything... maybe someone has something against vw's

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Installed rear fender and step.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

set the engine back into the truck after swapping the camaro front end into it. Still need to trim the fender inners to fit around frame and a whole list of other things. doesnt seem to sit as low in the front as others I've seen with the camaro front clip. maybe it will settle down once driven.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

put the original wheels back on my truck. not the final colors just wanted to see what original style wheels look like on the truck. Thinking i will keep them there.
