Re: 1970 swb c-10
I have been making good progress the last week or so. I have the wiring almost wrapped up. I am hoping to try to start it up tomorrow. Most of my progress has been non picture worthy, but I did switch over to my other wheels and put the grille in. So that gives me an excuse to post some pictures.

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Thanks for the compliments!
I got it started today after a couple of problems that had to be corrected with wiring. I still need to bleed the brakes and do a few other small things before it can move under its own power. Everything worked as it should from an elictrical standpoint except for the factory tach. Im goint to call AAW tomorrow and see if they have any ideas. Felt good to hear it run again after around 9 months.

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Thanks. I've had that gun on my radar but was look at the Finish Line 4 which I'm pretty sure is the same gun just newer model. Also been looking at Eastwoods guns for about the same price. After seeing how good yours turned out I'm thinking I'll go with that one. I just have a cheap Harbor Freight gun I've been doing the primer with and it lays paint ok but I have to sand out quite a bit of orange peel every time. I know I'll have some no matter what, but the less the better!

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Well I took it to a little car show a few miles from here today. It still needs carpet, seat cover, and a steering wheel, but I couldnt resist getting it out. Its been raining here for so long, I figured I better get it out while I could. Show was pretty small and not too impressive. I forgot how much I dont really care for the car show scene. The oldest car to win one of the only 3 awards was a 08 Mustang. The other two were C6 Vettes

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Screw what the kids say.
It's beautiful. I enjoy the "cruise night" shows/scene much better. Even the Goodguys Events are more to my liking. They have everything from ratrod, beaters, drivers,... all the way up to million dollar show cars all at the same event. Plus you can't leave your vehicle at the events overnight,... so they gotta be driven. Again,... beautiful job on your truck!

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Man, don't let it get you down. Those kids were just the wrong audience. Not to say because of their age but because of their taste (or lack there of). Everyone has their own opinion on what looks good. Some people like only OEM style restoration. For others it's all about everything being shaved and having a modern interior. The only guarantee is that you will never please everyone. Just please yourself and be proud knowing that you did the work yourself. Btw, I think your truck looks great and I agree with Keith about the "cruise night" style shows being a better scene.

I would definately use it again. I really like the look it gives chassis parts, just the right flatness. Im planning on driiving it alot, so we'll see how well it holds up. I noticed that while doing the assembly, it didn't scratch very easily. So i'm optomistic that it will hold up fairly well.

Re: 1970 swb c-10
If your still bummed out then I will gladly take the truck off your hands because I love everything about it. You did a great job. And cheers to getting her back on her own power.

Re: 1970 swb c-10
I put about 120 miles on it this weekend. Everything is working flawlessly. Restoring this thing was the best money I have ever spent. My wife told me she doesn't want to drive her boring "mom car" (New Lincoln MKX) anymore. Once I get the interior done I'll use the real camera and do a full photo shoot and post them up.

Re: 1970 swb c-10
Congrats on getting out to your first show Jonathan, even though it sounds like it was the wrong show. lol. You're truck looks great and I agree I think the showing it off part would be great but the part of everyone touching stuff doesn't sound so appealing to me. :-/
