Vary nice. I love the read interior.

**62bagger** · 05-23-2021, 06:53 PM

Nice job and that interior really pops. Looks great.

It is finally near completion and I actually drove it today.
Just a few small items left to do.

Woah, that is gorgeous!

That's a beauty! Let's see under the hood?

Does anyone else have certain virtual senses kick in when they see pics like that. I can almost smell the freshly ran engine, the new paint, and even the interior. And it smells good.

Now that you mention it, freshly scorched Moly Orange engine paint, a drying lacquer paint job and a new interior do bring back memories. I used to work as a mechanic, and also painted many of my cars (lacquer) back in the day, and my dad upholstered many of the family's cars. Good scents, indeed!

I finished stripping the hood.

Most of the stock stuff was not functioning, and with a 140 amp alternator, the amp gauge was a fire looking for a place to happen....I like lots of information,so the gauges are normal for me....

**MT65** · 05-28-2021, 09:21 PM

Added some speakers in the cab corner

05-31-2021, 12:57 AM

Finally got my seats installed. 2003 Blazer Seats with shoulder belts. Driver is power...I need to build a little bracket to house the controls. Had to build a rail for the inside track on both seats, was a PITA but it's done now. Super comfortable compared to the stock seats...stock seats are available if anyone is looking?

I threw together a cup holder. It will go in the cab corner. I will not be able to drink out of the drink while driving. It is more of a place to put a takeout cup on my way home. I am going to put some hook Velcro on the outside to help if stay in place.

Looks good...sometimes you just need to have a place to sit your drink. I need to come up with something for a cup holder. I usually drink 20oz cokes and need something for that.

Installed my 4 way flasher today...

I cut the super rusty 69 bed sides off my trailer today so that I can bolt on the old bed sides I recently swapped out from Frankentruck

I installed my Clifford intake with 12Bolt cast iron headers and a Holly 450 3BBL (converted via 12Bolt kit) and got it fired up last night!
Need to dial it in now and get an exhaust installed.

I borrowed this pipe bender from a neighbor to bend my throttle linkage and it rocks!

Initial results...
Sounds Good!
