Re: MY build thread...
Thanks guys! I don't think I've ever been so nervous as the day I painted that and after staring at basecoat before the clear I was seeing spots and patches... Next day looked fine. He was the test subject for my truck to see if I could paint a candy or not... So candy it is for mine. Good thing is I already have another job lined up on a 37 chevy truck...Might have to extend my shop and make a paint booth and buy a better basecoat gun... Hummm!

Re: MY build thread...
You see that black (what looks like over spray) above your rear wheel wells on the side?
It reminds me of a paint scheme I saw many many years ago at Ft Lewis. Fellow had a matching pair of '69 P180 Volvos, the sports coup and the hatchback wagon. They were both painted silver/grey but from the ground up to about shin high he had black that was faded up so it looked like ground shadow all around. Both these cars were painted exactly the same and together they really looked smart. Since then I have always wanted to recreate that unique look, and mind you, this was 1983 when I saw them. So obviously the impact was real enough that I can still picture them to this day. Congrats on getting you bed back on, going out to disassemble mine here in a few min....

Re: MY build thread...
I agree it's 3/8 X 16. I just took mine out last week. I didn't measure it, but do know it's coarse.

Well took it out for a drive around the block and goosed it about 3/4 throttle and hit the rev limit then went to second and instantly on the chip then realized its stuck open!!!! Oh *#%*!!!! Killed the key and found the secondary mechanism over rotated and was holding the rear butterflies open... Left some pretty cool long black marks though... I have severe traction problems!!!!!

Re: MY build thread...
You are building a great truck! Keep it up and hopefully you will get it all the rest of the way together soon. I love reading about these builds, since I am in graduate school currently (finishing my PhD in Education) and I can't afford a truck right now....I have to read about how you guys do it.... anyway, keep up the awesome job!

Re: MY build thread...
Haha I would love to but can't afford it. I have gained some but between my compressor crapping out and side jobs I haven't done much. Need to paint the bottom of the hood and bed then wire a few things yet but I can drive it now just alittle breezy with no windshield! I have it just not installed yet... I will still take your motor and give you mine since your selling anyway....

Re: MY build thread...
Good to see you posting again, hope you have some pics up soon too!
I think the windshield is going to be the very last thing I put in mine. Tomorrow I start a 10 day marathon tear down of a '85 GMC Sierra. It is going to supply me the engine, power steering, and power brakes among other items on the list. Hope to see your updates!!
