Love those wheels!

Big J · 02-02-2008, 01:47 AM

Lookin' good man. Its all got to be done so even the smallest amount of progress is sweet

. Keep on it. I got the doors cut down. It was a hard thing to do but they turned out nice.....

Alvin · 02-04-2008, 02:23 PM

No real progress to take pics of, I've just been sandblasting parts right and left trying to get as much stuff done as possible. Whenever a good day for painting gets here, I'll be more than ready. It was in the mid-40's today, so I pulled Ethel out into the sun and for once could get some decent pics.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm trying to get her road-worthy ASAP, but money is tight this month and I'm outta town for 2 weeks next month. Somehow, some way, it's gonna get done.

Spray-Bomb · 02-05-2008, 02:12 AM

Sweet bro, cant wait to see it put'n

LOW DOUGH · 02-09-2008, 07:36 AM

Ethel is looking great Adam. Can't wait to see more!

Alvin · 02-09-2008, 01:05 PM

The gauges are in the dash!

1LoC10 · 02-09-2008, 01:14 PM

man that looks so nice... who needs 22" chrome wheels.. that looks hot right there. good job

tdave00 · 02-09-2008, 01:59 PM

What's the center LCD for?

Looks nice.

Alvin · 02-09-2008, 10:23 PM

Thanks guys!

I'm really happy with the 17s. I never get tired of looking at it!

The center LCD will display the air pressures for each bag and the tank pressure. It's also programmable to flash the numbers if they drop below a set psi. It is available through Dakota Digital.

LOW DOUGH · 02-09-2008, 11:26 PM

I like the gauges and that display. Great!

You should check with Jacobs carter burgess for a drafting position.

Spray-Bomb · 03-05-2008, 05:58 AM

Progress ???

Umm.. I painted a bunch of parts this past weekend. That's about it.

And as of Friday I'll be outta town for two weeks!

BUT my garage is shaping up quite nicely, and maybe it will actually be warm by the time I get back in town.

April is going to be quite interesting and busy.

I just realized i live very close to you. Probably within a half hour.

Stewart Warner Power Series. They are available with the light blue, red, or silver rings in the centers. Summit Racing is where I got mine.

BACKYARD88 · 03-07-2008, 02:39 AM

Looking good Adam!

**SOON2BLAZE** · 04-24-2008, 08:15 PM

any progress on Ethel?

Alvin · 04-25-2008, 03:37 PM

Not gonna report in just yet. Found out I have to take another look at my cab mount bushings, seems the front of the cab is too low.

Frizzle Fry · 04-25-2008, 06:15 PM

She's looking sweet Alvin! Those brakes look good behind your wheels. I think the 17's fit the truck really well with that paint scheme, trim, and drop. You going with round mirrors?

How'd you know?

I've got a pair of well worn round mirrors featuring un-broken glass that will go on as soon as I cut the broken rectangle ones off there.

And thanks, I'm trying to get back in the groove of working on her, I got a little distracted and bought a bmw
