Got up early and headed North 150 miles to the Estranged C.C. breakfast gathering. Met some kool people and saw some kool cars. Where else can you have breakfast in the cold NW and see 4 straight axle gassers?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
looks great ! really nice color

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
sweet, thats looks like hugger orange, the color im doing mine.
|
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks guys! The color is really close to hugger orange. The shop I work in has uses Glasurit brand paint (owned by BASF). I picked the color out of one of the books at work, so officially it is "CMO 612". Doesn't matter what it's called though!! I'm really happy with it, can't wait to get it out in the sun (if we ever get any)!!!

Very nice! I've always liked that GM style wheel especially with the color accent.

Got a screaming deal on an Edelbrock Performer intake on CL........only problem was that someone painted it black............
Took to local machine shop and used their blast cabinet.....cleaned up real nice. |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Today I finished fabbing my fuel lines. 02 Silverado engine, 02 Camaro pump / filter, 1970 Mustang fuel tank.
Doing it again, I'd buy the hi-pressure fuel filter with built-in bracket from Speedway instead of the Camaro unit. The $25 saved on the filter got spent on parts & adapters to make the Camaro stuff work w/ my nylon fuel system. And then some. Live & learn. Tomorrow, I mount lines to body & chafe-proof them. |
