Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Popped the hood for the first time in a while today. Found some wicked carb leaks and the front seal on my blower needs replaced. But it's hot and I'm lazy so maybe next weekend. I did polish the wheels and bumper/grille. $50 and a Saturday and I'll be beating the truck some more.

I stripped off all the crappy brown paint that was on the inside of my cab, found that someone sprayed black paint a long time ago too, what do you guys think I should use to get the black paint off besides the razors blades that I was alread using lol

That sounds pretty corse, you don't think that would leave scratches on the OG paint and show metal?

I bought new wipers, and then completely disassembled them to use the rubber to rebuild old wipers.

Re-rednecked my sound system. First I dropped a pair of Sony house speakers in my truck box, then wired it up to the stereo system, using a set of house light switches to avoid being too obnoxious to the world. However, when I do need the noise, they'll come in handy.

Pulled everything on the dash, along with the stock heater, and seats. I have a new sound system and Vintage Air system to install. Couple long work days ahead, hoping to get it all installed in the next two days. But I am very excited to work on it. Installing a bunch of Fat Mat while I have it all out as well. I already had Peel 'n Seal and some closed cell foam, but the 454 still invades the cab. But I didn't do a very good job with full coverage I am seeing once I pulled up the floor mat. Hoping for lower sound levels.

What I did the past month. Removed my interior And painted light fawn even though its a 66, tinted windows, new tinted windshield with custom chrome trim, new firewall trim, visors, door seals, glove box light "for wife", powder coated air vent boxes. And just started with a new deck on original bumper "Connell Chevrolet Killeen Texas", new spray gun is coming in handy! Thanks everyone for the motivation.

Replaced a rocker nut that kept loosening, engine is quiet. Filled it with gas, and took a nice long drive. I'm loving this thing. Can't believe I brought it back from the dead.

Thank you Don. Received the missing turn signal cover today. Painted the outer part of the instrument cluster this morning. All that is left is to paint the inner part the jade color I picked up last night. 1 step closer...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
