Cant wait to see and hear the video, first fire is always cool...

fat56 · 07-01-2013, 07:59 AM

Still no video. Im trying to get a hold of a good camera, not just my phone. capture the sound.

Sorted out my lead problems and fitted and made new MSD leads.

Got the cab 70% blasted just not some of the parts i had already worked on.

Got a coat of primer surfacer on after hours of sanding and washing after being blasted. Getting stuff blasted seems easy but there is alot of prep after so you don't have any problems later.

I Have been laying a coat of this stuff under all my panels. I have heard nothing but amazing stuff about it. Just rub down with 180 and body work over the top.

Dont think i have posted these before. but i made access doors on both sides to the battery and air gear, just incase of any problems

and if the battery dies and the car airs out i wont be able to get the the battery.

Like the access panels, cab is looking good...Jim

Kim57 · 07-01-2013, 10:57 AM

Coming along nicely! Looks great!

fat56 · 08-13-2013, 05:11 AM

been super busy getting stuck in to the end of the body work.

The insides and door frames were very very time consuming.

fixed some small rust issues also.

fat56 · 08-13-2013, 05:19 AM

Something abit different i been working on. Picked up this bike for a steal, i ride motorcross and always wanted to get my road licence. So for the price i got this for i thought i would do it up abit and get my licence for a sunday cruiser untill my truck is finished.

And also have my first go at finish painting.

How i bought it.

and once i was finished. Took me 2 weekends.

and a cool shot from my first ride.

BACK ON TRACK WITH THE CHEV NOW

Kim57 · 08-13-2013, 11:21 AM

The truck is looking good.
The bike came out real nice.

Wow what an improvment on the bike. I dig it. I can't wait to see your truck in paint. Your body work looks great. Keep it up.

fat56 · 09-03-2013, 09:16 PM

That would have definitely freaked me out!! I don't get along with snakes since a rattler cost me a finger in '03.

Just found your build and I am impressed. Nice job.

Baldeagle SR · 09-18-2013, 06:14 PM

I see your radiator is in front of the support. Will your hood close there? Thanks Rich

Rad's · 10-06-2013, 05:26 AM

Nice build!

Did the 4-link and bags on the rear axle the same.
Works fine, thank you!

What size of bags do you use on the rear axle?

I am running SS6 in the front and SS7 in the rear.

Bit of a update. finally got the cab finished, prob was the biggest job on the whole car. Everything turned out really nice. Door jams look alot better now.

ALOT of Rubbing.

all finished and ready for final prime.

Off to get primed in a booth.

Final Fit up before paint.

Oh and had another visitor, it was bigger then the first one. This place is turning into a reptile park haha.
