Not to be nitpicky, but I'm pretty sure you mentioned something about 18 yo models in that first post...

Well I'll be a son of a ....... You're right!
I know they were there! Right there spread out on the hood!
Damn! The hood isn't there anymore either!

Those sneaky moderators! Always censoring my porn!

Dig it! Anything new?

KMK454 · 06-15-2008, 02:26 AM

Looking awesome, Frank... looks like u chopped a very solid donor!

Can't wait to see the finished product.

gchemist · 06-15-2008, 02:31 AM

Mine has taken 9 years!! I'm not half finished either!!

Finish it so we can drag it out to a truck fest.

7T7 · 06-15-2008, 02:23 PM

At times I wish this was the only project I was working on. Unfortunately the 77 is on temporary hold until a few other projects are finished.
Seems like there is never enough time on the weekends after house/yard work and family have all been satisfied.

And Kurt, some times I do feel guilty about the hack job on the 77 Guess you don't want us to baby sit your truck while your away?

"G" I may have to call Donnie Finger over to finish the paint and body! As much as I hate to farm out work sometimes it just doesn't pay to do it yourself.
I take it that you live out south since I never see your truck out this way. I live about a mile from Finger near Hutto. We'll have to try and hook up one day.

That is if I'm not mowing STINKING GRASS!!!!!

gchemist · 06-15-2008, 07:38 PM

Give me a buzz. I'll drive my truck over. We can take pictures of the trucks parked next to each other.
Wanna go for a ride?

I live way south! Slaughter and Manchaca!

Gate will still open, and the plan is to incorporate the fuel filler in that flat area behind the tailgate.

A 4 bar with a diagonal track locator.
WOW! That was a long time ago. I had to go way back in the old archives to find that picture.

KMK454 · 06-17-2008, 11:59 AM

Frank, I just noticed... are you running C6 Z51 brakes up front?

Square84 · 06-17-2008, 12:18 PM

Is That A PINION Brake? And If So Why Run One And Rear Brakes At Same Time Or Do You Just Plan On Going That Damn Fast That You Need All That Braking

**Captkaos** · 06-17-2008, 01:28 PM
