silvertonguedevil · 10-05-2005, 02:02 PM

MAN!! I wish I was there with my project

BigSky71 · 10-05-2005, 06:29 PM

Wet sanding and B/C on the frame, very nice! I was just happy with a sand blast and a few coats of Omni...

mocwon · 10-06-2005, 01:31 AM

Top notch work!!! More pics as you assemble, please.....

Consider getting the Lokar shifter conversion for the 700R4; works great and simplier than stock.

72MARIO · 10-07-2005, 08:31 AM

I would also reccomend the Lokar Kit when using the 700R.

I thought I was the only one nuts enough too wet sand and polish my frame. I love allt the stone chips in mine already.

Bubba4spd · 10-07-2005, 03:18 PM

Incredible Job there 72 ! Keep pushing the bar up dude. Oh and pics too, we like watching other peoples work.

considering your location i bet if you offer a place to stay you would get lots of people volunteering to help you with your truck...course you may not see them much once they get there.
