Updates on the Supertruck
It's time for a new update, now that something's getting done.
I took the day off work yesterday to get something done on the truck. Working two hours a night doesn't get you anywhere. Though I'm stuck at work writing this on a saturday now. Anyway, I got the frame cleaned up and undercoated, & the cloth seat in for the old vinyl. The bumper and lower splash apron have been removed from the parts truck, and the apron is painted in the right colour with chrome re-attached. Both are ready to go on, as soon as I line up the front fender mounting holes to stock location. The p.o. rear-ended someone plenty hard, and this stuff is all messed up, but nothing I can't straighten up enough for winter. The 383 is painted and in, though the propane hasn't been installed yet, so I haven't fired it up. The cab corners are bought and ready to be welded in, as soon as the inners are patched up. The steel is cut for the patch as well. Should be done soon. And finally, I painted the front of the box, so when it goes together and gets painted, you won't be able to tell it's not original. It was nice to have a day where you can see productivity. It's getting really close now. Starting to look like something.
