As always, great pics. Can't wait to see the pics you take when it's done and outside in the sunlight.

Yep, got those same arm rests, any tips on installing them?
One side of the cab the door panel is holed for them, the other is not. I assume it is the same for everyone.

coulter 04-28-2012 09:51 AM

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 
neither of mine have had the holes... i just held it where i thought it looked good... mine came with a template to so it was pretty easy

My doors had the permanent weld nuts in the door structure, but no holes in the panels. I just screwed a couple of 1/4x20 bolts in the weld nuts and then coated the heads with something goopy. I may have used anti-seize or silicone, I don't really remember. I just pressed the panels in place, and once removed had a nice splotch on the back side marking where to drill the holes.

Your engine looks great! Also enjoy the artsy photos. This one is my favorite. Could easily be a calender or post card image.

got a small update

made me a radiator mounts... funny thing is this wasnt meant to look like a v8 symbol in the begining but i think it turned out pretty cool..i mounted it with some pretty thick rubber spacers to help dampen it a lil
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8010/6...6d286b3e_b.jpg

i wish i had a tig... this would look alot better but o well
http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5445/7...c5eb628e_b.jpg

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7067/6...48d38130_b.jpg

Unintentional as it may have been, the V8 radiator bracket is cool!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 
The problem for me isn't the Hondas (or any import/tuner car), it's usually the drivers. At least around here it is.

It is true that you cannot fix stupid drivers, but pushing one of them off the road once in a while is sure fun....
....almost theraputic for all involved too.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 
Thanx for the compliments guys. As far as the imports goes i got tired of them because it always seemed like a contest of who could bolt on the most overpriced rare jdm parts on their car so they could brag about it instead of doing some real fab work. Also after u put 10 grand in a civic u can only sell it for 3500 if ur lucky. Dont get me wrong. I miss my 13 second honda that got 32 mpg but i think my truck is gonna be alot more fun
