Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks guys! The color is really close to hugger orange. The shop I work in has uses Glasurit brand paint (owned by BASF). I picked the color out of one of the books at work, so officially it is "CMO 612". Doesn't matter what it's called though!! I'm really happy with it, can't wait to get it out in the sun (if we ever get any)!!!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Today I finished fabbing my fuel lines. 02 Silverado engine, 02 Camaro pump / filter, 1970 Mustang fuel tank.
Doing it again, I'd buy the hi-pressure fuel filter with built-in bracket from Speedway instead of the Camaro unit. The $25 saved on the filter got spent on parts & adapters to make the Camaro stuff work w/ my nylon fuel system. And then some. Live & learn. Tomorrow, I mount lines to body & chafe-proof them. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
went to the storage site and sprayed some PB blaster in the spark plug holes with hopes that my motor will break free in the future...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Mounted my new Coker tires. The porta-walls were fine but I needed one tire and couldn't match the other three, so bought these. They took very little weight to balance, and one didn't need any. that makes me think that they are probably quality tires.

Bought a set of ram horn exhaust manifolds for $50.
Seem pretty clean. Codes on them show to be from a '65 corvette

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Just ordered up the all the bed sills... Also waiting to hear on some six lug Chevy wheels that I learned about from a friend. Someone is apparently ready to let 'em all go for 50 bucks! Piece by piece, we're gonna get this thing done... Only 18 days until Spring!
