Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

[CC69Rat]

I read back through my own build on this truck and it's odd to me how it all panned out. Almost a year ago I said (I should have my wheels by Mid-May) .. and I still don't have them. They should be on it, well .. Mid-May.

No regrets though. My plans kinda changed yes, but I'm glad I went ahead and did what I really wanted. I can enjoy it for a month or so then just let er go. It will be for sale on the HRPT, and for whatever reason it doesn't sell I'll put it on eBay.

Dad and I are going to run the brake lines on Sat, and hopefully knock the inner bedsides down and prime. They're really pretty straight so it shouldn't take long to get them painted. (famous last words?) .. but then it's just finishing up the bed assembly and interior. I need to put the door panels on and detail around the lower parts of the doors where boots have just kicked the door open over the years and stuff. I need to get some nice black arm rests for it, a carpeted cover for the tank and maybe some new door handles and misc on the inside and it's done.

Then it's just waiting on wheels..

Once this one goes, my stepper is going to become a fleetside and layed out. Stay tuned to that one.
