Worked on my bed sides. Sanded the primer. Looks great.

Nice job, that looks factory.

gofastnut · 05-18-2013, 10:48 PM

I just got a DA sander and some sanding discs for Ole Brownie, does that count?

Blue_Aura · 05-18-2013, 11:46 PM

Starting removing all the old paint from the firewall. Apparently removed it while it was hanging upside down from the garage ceiling. Why do these pictures keep flipping?

Painted my other exhaust manifold.

Just felt like adding an element of difficulty? LOL

Installed the oil pan I painted last week, crossing my fingers that it doesn't leak too bad. Did a dry fit of the correct size flex plate and new starter. Also ordered a few parts in the hopes of having the truck on the road before the weekend.

robber grin · 05-22-2013, 07:46 AM

zippeay your interior paint looks fantastic!!

Last night I removed my 62's trailing arms from the chassis and ordered the Prothane poly bushings from S~R.

Well, no pics but today I managed to blow my radiator.

markeb01 · 05-19-2013, 06:47 PM

All I did to mine was move it outside and wash off all the gasoline residue from the previously leaking fuel lines. Now my garage doesn't stink like gas anymore.

robber grin · 05-19-2013, 08:27 PM

Saturday spent the day drinking coffee, napping on the garage floor, and cleaning up the 73 3.08-1 posi that is going in my 62.

Removed the saddles and shock mounts with the torch and cleaned all that up before painting it Saturday night.

Sunday afternoon my son and I pulled the original rear-end out, removed the coils and cleaned up the mess.

Good weekend -

install new hood release cable and latch assembly, also wired truck for 7 way connector and install brake controller took 5hrs but it was worth it. lol

**joedoh** · 05-20-2013, 12:35 AM

watched mother nature beat up my truck today

vid

all the cars look like golf balls, so does the garage doors and basement windows.

mud.man.rj · 05-20-2013, 02:32 AM

Man you guy's have some mean weather in Kansas, no wonder Dorthy didn't like it. Seriously though, not cool on the truck getting beat up is it. House looks pretty rough too.

Installed NOS heater switch (and threw away jumper that had been on my dash for 6 months!) Built some speaker boxes, and got rid of excess wiring in cab.
