Slick!

Things have been slow. Few set backs that are going to slow the paint process down. But full steam ahead .

The upholstery is all sorted and started, Red leather and red carpet. The guy seems to know his job and has done some killer work from what i have seen. He is also keen to get involved in the project so that helps me out thats for sure.

All springs are gone from the seat, new technology foam is now the go.

Still have to remove another inch of foam for the height i want.

[Baldeagle SR]

Wow the truck is coming along nice.

Hey all,

Thanks for the kind words. Truck still sits as it is in the last photos. Had some health issues and have put the truck on hold untill everything is back to normal.

Didn't make summernats unfortunately, not even as a spectator this year. i will be there next year thats for sure.

The motor mounts are lifted 25mm as the subframe sits on the ground the sump would have hit, saves buying a new sump and the sump can be dropped without pulling the motor out. It also gives me more room for the headers and steering shaft . With such a huge engine bay area the motor can be moved around with no dramas at all.

[fat56]

IM BACK and healthy



the cover got pulled off the truck yesterday and strip down for paint begins tomorrow.

Gap all the edges and inside of the cab, bring it all home and fit it all up, being a heavy metallic silver, it just wont work painting everything apart.

and ALOT of polishing and cleaning of the frame will the panels are of getting painted.

After all the years of the girlfriend asking is there anything i can do to help. There finally is polishing.

The truck is a real beauty, hope you are able to get back to it soon.

Nup no snakes in the shed lately, but after the bush fires we just had the primary school up the road at 6 snakes in 3 days.
