resized newer pictures of truck, .... yep,.. that one hole in passenger floorboard has to be Rifle bullet hole. ... exited close to dead center of tire, ... might explain why truck only had 3 original steelies when I baught it.... I had never noticed or thought about that hole till just the other day when I saw it........ I baught new oil for it and need to get rear lights to quit blowing fuse.


perfect weather to work on truck or to blow it off for another day. time will tell.

p.s .. the dual floor consoles cost 120$ .... on sale at 79$ closeout.

p.ss. it has good oil pressure, the key was just on for a second to get picture.

My nephew killed his Ford Ranger several years ago with a 30.06. Why the rifle was loaded in the cab, I don't know, but the round went through the floor, took out a transmission line, hit the frame and fragments went through an A/C hose, the radiator and the A/C condenser. It was an expensive day for him.

Well, I haven't accomplished much today, last week I did get about 90% of the entire underside of the ole '72 coated with POR-15, one header installed and working on the other between the rain bands from Tropical Storm Lee, I am also working on relocating the clutch tube with the linkage due to header tube interference.

Bought paint (on Friday), a close friend came over on Saturday and we block sanded my cab before the last coat of primer (only close friends will come over and help block sand). We only found a few spots that needed spot putty, we filled those and I am heading out into the garage to finish those in a few minutes. Tomorrow morning (before it gets hot) I am spraying the final coat of primer and hopefully, next weekend I will be spraying color on my cab. I have been sanding/filling/sanding/priming/block sanding/filling/priming/ block sanding etc., etc., and so on and so on for about about 8 weeks. I hope to show you all the results of all of my (and my close friend's) labor very soon.

Today (and yesterday) I removed the burned out cab and front end from my truck. I then removed the good donor cab and front end and got the cab mounted on my frame. Not a great amount, but it is a start at last. There are more pics on my build thread, Project Phoenix.

I put on a lighter set of tinted turn signal lenses. I made my other ones a little too dark.

Looks someone was mighty thirsty before they started the paint process.

Finished prepping and got the first coat of Por-15 Chevy engine orange enamel on my small block. Top end goes on Saturday, if I can get a second coat on tomorrow night. I'll be picking up my March Track Serpentine kit saturday afternoon too!
