Uncle Jimi · 02-17-2015, 05:53 PM

Truely a *****in ride! It turned out amazing.

skymangs · 02-17-2015, 09:00 PM

Thanks uncle jimi. Not finished till it runs right though!

oossuuu754 · 02-18-2015, 09:51 AM

SKYMANGS:
Pic 1: Intake coming apart AGAIN! Even seated as the manufacturer recommended... still leaks! Tomorrow I'm bringing his old injectors to Bonner Springs for Sonic cleaning and flow test. Hopefully by tomorrow night it will be running smooth.

Pic 2,3,4,5: In progress pics of Cecil's new hidden tailgate links. These are 73-87 truck tailgate links. Obviosly they needed to be modified. The tailgate will get patched and pinned tomorrow.

oossuuu754 · 02-18-2015, 02:28 PM

You can tell the build is wrapping up, SKYMANGS is posting glamour shots. I can't wait to take Cecil for a drive!

SKYMANGS:The new and improved "Cecil version 2.0" hope it's everything you thought it could be Shawn!!!

So Far Chris it's better than I could have hoped for. Mom wish you could have seen it in person!

iowaboynca · 02-18-2015, 09:56 PM

Cecil looks....right.

47 Fasttoys · 02-18-2015, 10:09 PM

Building a yellow LCF are we?
Rob

skymangs · 02-18-2015, 10:51 PM

Yup. The yellow one is my in progress Tow Pig... it's a 56 GMC 350 body on an 83 1 ton dually chassis. Should be ready in 2-3 weeks to start driving daily. This one is my version of a "junkyard" build. Budget for drivable is $500. Up till last week I was up $7.

In Cecil news, the injector cleaning did the trick. Runs like a champ now! Shawn should be posting a run video shortly.

oossuuu754 · 02-18-2015, 11:16 PM

Here is the video! Now he runs as good as he looks!

Thanks Chris

skymangs · 02-18-2015, 11:57 PM

You bet. It's been a pleasure!

**Advanced Design** · 02-19-2015, 12:09 AM

Sounds good!

**oldman3** · 02-19-2015, 12:15 AM

Nice job Chris...Jim

lower50's · 02-20-2015, 02:44 PM

Great build. Amazing job on all the little touches!!
What brand of insulation was used on the floor? Thanks

oossuuu754 · 03-04-2015, 11:30 AM

So we are still waiting to get the ECM back from Larry's Elec to see if that is the issue with the Engine Shutdown. In the meantime I did get my tag for Cecil. Think it will fit in perfect.

skymangs · 02-20-2015, 09:11 PM

That was "peel and seal". Same composition as the expensive stuff, but cost about $40 to do the whole floor and firewall.

The stuff at Lowes?

oossuuu754 · 02-24-2015, 10:30 AM

SKYMANGS:Under body lights lightin...

Now if we can just get the Motor to run correct, sent the ECM back to Larry's Electric to see if it is bad, will hopefully hear something this week.

Thanks skymangs I'll check it out

Sorry to hear about your trailer!!

Low Elco · 02-21-2015, 08:11 AM

Awesome work, Chris!

skymangs · 02-21-2015, 10:06 AM

Thanks brother.!

oossuuu754 · 02-23-2015, 10:44 AM

SKYMANGS:Hidden square body tail gate links all finished up

skymangs · 02-24-2015, 11:22 PM

Uncle Jimi; Yup, thats the stuff. Been very pleased with it.

Update on Cecil. I spent all day on the phone with Larry's Electric yesterday, diagnosing Cecil's run issue. (Runs great for about 40 seconds, then dies). It has continuous spark, fuel, and air, good fuel pressure, no codes, all injectors have been sonic cleaned and flow tested, IAC is opening and closing properly, all injectors are pulsing correctly. In other words, it should run great. By the end of the day they decided it must be a programming or ECM problem. Sent it off to them this morning. Hopefully they figure out what's going on and get it back in a timely manner.

In the mean time I'll be doing a few more little things to Cecil (since I've got the time).

oossuuu754 · 02-26-2015, 10:50 AM

Chris it has to be the ECM and hopefully Larry's will get the replacement sent out soon.

On a side note if anyone from Oklahoma is following this thread please keep an eye out for my car hauler, some JackHole decided to steal it from driveway in broad daylight Tuesday.

Its a 20ft tandem, heavy duty axles and heavy duty big ball hitch!

ratty 46 · 02-26-2015, 11:03 AM

That sux.

I hate thieves. Hopefully they'll screw up & the cops will catch them.

**Advanced Design** · 02-26-2015, 11:24 AM

Well crap...hate that happened. Had my first new car we owned...86 Buick Grand National...stolen. Real downer. Hope they are caught.
