Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
I'm getting closer. The exhaust is done for now. I made my own using flowmasters and it sounds great, but I dumped it in front of the rearend for now, just to save time. I'll go back and add some tailpipes later. I got the bed, bumper and tailgate back on too, so I'm pretty much done with it from the cab back. Now I just have to assemble the front sheetmetal and finish a few details. I hope to have it driveable next week.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks guys. Yes I'm getting pretty excited. While working on getting insurance for it the other day I looked at the date on the title and I actually bought it in June of '99, and took it apart not long after that, so after 10 years of saving, collecting parts, and working on this thing, it's about time!

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
I will say one thing, this board, and the people here helped a LOT along the way with keeping me motivated, helping me find parts, and improving the quality of my work.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
You are one of those guys. Good job. Like you said motivation. I like seeing your truck and it took ten years. That is ten years of dedication. Not everybody has alot of time and money. But your heart is in it and look at what you built that is awesome. I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. And a few burnouts(ha ha)

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Getting closer. Still have to put the bumper, grille, and inner fenders on, then a lot of cleaning, a few touch ups, and go over again to see how many bolts I forgot to tighten.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks guys. Yes, I'm just as excited as you can imagine. Driving it is a blast, just as I thought it would be. I didn't get much done today, but I did get to fill the tank, and the fuel filler worked fantastic. Wide open gas nozzle was no problem, so that was nice. Sorry, I haven't had time to shoot the video yet. Never put one on the net before, but hopefully I can figure it out.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
What a great build thread! That is one of the most beautiful trucks I have seen in a long time. I can't wait until the day I can get one to look like that. Congratulations!!!
