Hey Blake, if you still want to get rid of those wheel tubs, bring 'em down.

Thanks,

I remember that feeling of wanting to drive mine for the first time after getting it running.

You can stare at it for a little while, then we are going cruising around town and burn some gas, and drink some beer!

Re: New member new Project

For those who followed this posting and those new to it, We were the ones that bought Ricks truck this last Wednesday. The truck is going to need some TLC but its gone to a good home for it to be done. We hope to finish it out like Rick would have wanted it. Sad your not here to see it done Rick. Your truck lives on.

We will post pictures of the progress from where it was left off.

Not much of an update but we had q new roll pan and tailgate put on since the old roll pan got dragged and it bulged out and the tailgate was pretty dented up.

Stunning work! You make the painting look so easy. Spotted a nice toro 5400 mower like mine in your thread there as well. Sorry I’m a mower geek

Re: New member new Project

Update post. Since all 4 of the American racing rims were bent and tires were destroyed we had to get new rims. We had these 20" detroit steel wheels laying around and had them powder coated. We had to have the rear end narrowed and new porterbuilt control arms to fit them. Also had a set of Pb hinges put on so we can keep the hood on. Our next step is to clean up the bed. Were thinking about using a toolbox for the accuair.
