Re: Its been twleve years, but Yeller finally sees the road!

There are so many little changes on this truck that leave the average guy wondering why it looks so clean. It looks amazing now that its all together.

One that that jumps out in that under hood shot is the washer bottle. Since this isn't a by the book restoration have you considered moving it farther forward and out of view? It would allow your eyes to focus on the clean crisp lines of your motor.

Re: Its been twleve years, but Yeller finally sees the road!

Congratulations, Jeff on a job well done. You did a very good job especially balancing your priorities.

Has it been 12 years??? Either way, I had no doubt that you would finish it.

Now maybe Revell/Monogram can use your truck to build a better 73-87 model.

And, by the way, no competition burn-outs in your truck (at least, until it’s _fully_ broken-in).


As far as the steering wheel wrap; I would bably go with one that matches your tan interior. I’d almost be leaning towards a billet wheel to match the shifter and, if so, (dare I say) maybe even throw some yellow on the column... bably a bit extreme.

Good Job!

Yes they do. I've got the mid-mount alt bracket on my BBC.

Jeff, I'm not a big fan of black and aluminum under the hood but, yours looks great and complements the yellow very nicely.

I agree with ya on the washer bottle .... I would mount it on the bottom of the core support out of view my 2 cents
