Daniel and Jebb thanks for the compliments. Here are some more pics.

I'M BACK!!! I finally had a chance to have the exhaust inastalled. Due to the fuel tank being inside the rails, I chose to have the exhuast exit and turn down in front of the rear tires. The mufflers and brake booster will require heat shields.

Dadsredwagon · 04-06-2008, 04:35 AM

excellent thread who painted it?

GATORBUILT '59 · 04-08-2008, 05:04 PM

Thanks to all for the comments. Dadsredwagon I painted it myself. I actually got the scare of my life while painting the truck. About two weeks ago I was painting the bed parts with all of the garage doors about 3/4 of the way down. I was finishing up with spraying the clear and all of a sudden someone rips up my garage door standing there with a blue 'coverall' jump suit, as I looked at him not recognizing the individual, all I could say to myself was "O LORD my neighbors done called the EPA on me!" In a state of shock I refused to move I could see him speaking to me but I could not hear him over the compressor running in the corner. When the compressor stopped, I heard the most relieving words "Can you come and look at my mom and dads car it does want to fire up!" It was my neighbors oldest son they own a 1940 Chevy Coupe down the street

pgf545 · 04-08-2008, 07:12 PM

GATORBUILT '59 · 04-08-2008, 07:51 PM
