Very nice work on the gas pedal! You made it look just like the original.

If it's like most (not all) of them, he'll get to it when he's darn good and ready. Seems like every time someone is waiting on something to get there project going, it's the darn painter.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
well not much of a picture update but i did manage to get the stainless brake lines installed and i got the brakes bled... sorta. spent 5-6 hours bleeding the damn things yesterday. tried every trick i know. even used the vacuum pump. there is still some air in the lines but i do have a pedal though!
i also fired her up and put er in reverse and then drive! hopefully next weekend i'll have the battery tray from the painter so i can mount the battery and maybe roll her down the street.
