Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Always enjoy checking out your work McMurphy, I love the tailgate letter light show. Just figure you'll be motoring along so fast and no one will have a chance to look that close at the details that might bug you. I really like it though, nice work all round as usual side markers and tail lamps, knife and all!!!!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Your continued out-of-the-box thinking and seemingly unlimited enthusiasm absolutely boggle the mind!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I see that I haven't posted here in a while.......you're making some nice progress and your out of the box ideas continue to amaze me.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Forgive me guys for not responding to each of you like I usually do, but today is a busy day.
Not only is it Fathers Day, and I hope each of you fathers have a great one, but it is also the cut off day for this project to be my main focus. I am also taking it to a car show here in a few hours. So having said that, let me get you all up to speed on what has been getting finalized. ************************************************************************************* First up for those of you who know the show, you will get this quote, this is the only decal that is getting affixed to the rig, all others get magnets: Attachment 1266581 Note all the paint overspray in the windshield from that pic, it comes into play later... As I was dinking around, I noticed I never painted in the beauty ring around the grill on the leading ends of my fenders, so that had to get done: Attachment 1266582 And a couple of finished pics just for giggles, note again all the overspray on the windshield: Attachment 1266583 Attachment 1266589 Then I finally got the roof painted, odd that this ended up being one of the last things I get done on the truck...... Attachment 1266590 Got a few more to upload here, so give me a minute.... |
Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
I was painting the inside of "The Kennel" its first coat today and also had to do two strips I had removed after I thought I was done.
Your truck really appeals to me as it is so unique Mike. |

Wow what a day !!
First off, got the wipers and the emblems put on the truck after spending an hour or two getting all the old over spray paint off. The story behind that was I had fully intended on getting a new piece of glass, but the clock ran down as did my patience for the expensive nature of getting this stuff up here. So I lamentably decided I would stick with what I have until I get it down to the land of reason. That meant cleaning off 2.5 years of crud.... I crack me up sometimes. But the wipers turned out nice !! Attachment 1266829 Attachment 1266830 After I got the emblems affixed, it was TIME !! I am compiling a video for you all of the maiden voyage, but here are a couple pics: Attachment 1266831 Attachment 1266833 Attachment 1266836 Then my neighbor and I got it loaded up to drag off to a car show to top it all off !! It was a good test run loaded, because we just bought the trailer to haul this rig down south with too. More to follw guys, but thanks for looking so far !! |

Attachment 1267161 Attachment 1267163 A couple of it, and the tow truck at the show. Attachment 1267164 Attachment 1267166 Attachment 1267167 I had to choose between wearing my ACES/London shirt, or my Bomp vs Murph for the show yesterday, but decided the Bomp shirt was too far an inside joke for anyone to get.... sorry Buddy !! On that note though, thanks Rian for the apparel !! And here is the Maiden Voyage Video !! Thanks for taking a look !! |
