Yea how ya been? I seen you were thinking of selling your truck! Id still like to have the motor out of yours for mine wanna trade? HEHE...This thing HAS to hit the streets by the end of april...I have places I want to take it and the drag strip is one and a few other shows are on my mind...I need some major parts to be mobile like seats,looking for 40/20/40 out of 1500 dodge truck and a windshield are the main things.Started the brake lines today so one less thing.

baggedout81 · 04-01-2011, 09:01 PM

Boy i'ma need to take some pics tomm. bad.

shortbed70 · 04-03-2011, 11:08 PM

Well heres some updates, seats are in out of an olds arora leather all power, center console is kinda in there, shifter set in its location, brake lines are done, compressor is mounted (still need to mount EDC) and scored me some 15x8 rally's from a guy for $25 and my neighbor gave me a 5th one for free got 4 painted today.

daverod · 04-03-2011, 11:17 PM

I like the center thing.

Do you have your power steering pump on yet? I'm pissed I have 2 pumps and I can't get ether to fit?

shortbed70 · 04-03-2011, 11:22 PM

Oh yea didnt get any pics but I did get the pump and lines on. Heres a poser shot in the truck. Two years to get too here. Man I can almost smell the burnt rubber now...Gotta wear the flat spots off the tires. My brake lines look like crap because they are temporary until I get a good tool to bend with. I really suck at bending lines but I can fab just about anything...HUH!

shortbed70 · 04-05-2011, 11:00 PM

Well we tried to bleed the brakes and the front bleed great but the back I got NOTHING! I am thinking maybe something is blocking the line but I'm unsure. Any ideas on where to start?Help...

Cool box. Must be nice to get paid to work on your truck.

How close does your steering column shaft come to hitting your upper arm when its laying low.?

Alan's Classic · 04-12-2011, 11:30 PM

Man your close.

shortbed70 · 04-13-2011, 12:18 AM

I'm leaving out alot like put hood, latch and hardware on, door seals, side windows, sound deadening, and all the other stuff but being able to back out of the shop and drive out of the way sure beats pushing it around or just talking about it... Thanks Alan I was wondering if anybody was still watching this thing...

Yeah, windshields are over rated.....just one more thing that needs cleaned

shortbed70 · 04-17-2011, 07:02 PM

Well got some parts primed up today and tailgate/rollpan is fully welded in. Going to try some all metal filler on the gate area and see how I like it. Pics tonight.

Thanks. I doubt I will start gabbing cells, there's already a few guys that do them on here but they are custom and pretty nice but you have to pay for them. Too much liability for me messing with fuel... If you need anything made look me up.
