Here are a few shots of the truck as it nears completion. A bit of a set back today though. Broke through clear while color sanding and polishing trying to get out an imperfection. Oh well, spot it in and re-clear the hood later this week. Going to change out the amber parking light lenses for clear ones.

Saaaweeeet!!!! would it be possible for you to ad a pic of the firewall? I remember you saying you slicked it out, and would like to see it.

**Palf70Step** · 07-31-2005, 08:51 PM

They fit a 1990 four-door S15 Jimmy (there's a bunch of years of four-door Jimmys and Blazers that are the same). Fit real nice and will protect the painted sill areas that always get scratched up and looking crappy. I haven't put the aluminum hold-down sills on yet that cover the edge of the carpet.

**N2TRUX** · 07-31-2005, 11:38 PM

Your truck looks awesome! Really nice color with classic wheels to set it off. ....

Oh yeah, that blue hose under the hood needs to go....

68C15 · 08-01-2005, 07:45 AM

I love the color, firewalll, sill plates & stance. I do have a couple curious questions though. why have the batt on the driver side? what do you have in mind for an air cleaner.

mocwon · 08-01-2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks for all the kind words.

N2TRUX: Yeah the blue hose was just a piece of fuel line I had laying around. It will be replaced with black.

68C15: Using an air filter off a C5 Corvette. Still have to get the aluminum tubing and connectors to install it. Moved battery to driver's side so the air cleaner could be routed to the passenger side where battery used to be.

72MARIO · 08-01-2005, 08:59 AM

Your truck looks Great.

I really like the interior.

panhandler62 · 08-01-2005, 09:14 AM

ok.. I'm green.

I note, with some interest, that the passenger side of your firewall is very clean. My 68 has a rather large protrusion on that side where the heater hoses go in.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-01-2005, 09:48 AM

Looking awesome - great color and the door sill looks like a great modification.

Putter · 08-01-2005, 10:32 AM

Question:
What type weather stripping did you use on the doors? Is it the original 'glue-on' type or the newer 'S-10 pinch-on' type? And where did you get it ? It look like a nice, snug fit.

**gregfull** · 08-01-2005, 10:39 AM

mocwon,

Very nice, it's a real "clean" look. Hey, why did you relocate the battery to the driver's side? Something to do with the late model motor? I really like that color too, thinking of using something similar on the top of my suburban.

Yes, it's the S-10 gasket. IMO, much better than the original glue on stuff and it fits real tight. I believe I bought it from GMC Paul's for about $50.

It's a custom mix but to my surprise it's a dead ringer for the 2005 Corvette color called Orange Sunburst, or something like that. Also, used on 2003 Hummer and 2004 Avalanche and very similar to Honda Element color.
