Looking good!

**nlped** · 01-29-2022, 09:41 PM

Made a little more headway. GEEZUS, the small stuff takes forever.

**Ol Blue K20** · 01-30-2022, 07:02 AM

I see you had a cold snack....

. Keep it up, it's looking good.

Thanks, Dale! Cold snacks are a motivational tool

.

Just to prove I made some progress. I got the new ball joints installed into the Porterbuilt control arms and got them mounted up on the chassis.

Nice!

Front suspension is getting closer.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-03-2022, 09:48 AM

It looks mean too.

**nlped** · 02-07-2022, 08:08 PM

Walter ROLLS!!! Frame is square, tight and ready for plumbing. So, plumbing for the Sniper EFI, trans cooler lines, Accuair system and brakes need to happen next. Then motor & trans go in for the final time & exhaust can happen. Then cab goes on & painless harness, then …. GEEZUS, it’s a long way to the finish line.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-08-2022, 07:36 AM

At this pace it will be together in no time!

**nlped** · 06-07-2022, 09:08 PM

Life got in the way again and it came to a screeching halt. But firewall and interior paint are about to happen. Remember, I’m leaving the exterior alone. First bath the cab has had since 1984’ish.

Glad to see this. Keep @ it.

**nlped** · 06-08-2022, 11:52 AM

Some progress from today…

SCOTI · 06-08-2022, 01:00 PM

I really need to do the same on my '64. The problem is the truck was re-painted years (and years & years) ago w/the Lt Green vs it's OG Turquois Poly.

There are areas where both colors are clearly visible since the truck was not completely disassembled. My original thought was to clean & paint the firewall only (to the upper lip) in Satin black along w/the inner wells & leave the cowl area/s as is. But, a good friend of mine whom shall remain nameless suggested 'hell no'.

I have zero intentions or desire to paint it. Ever....

Your situation (from the pics) looks like it will work well.

I had to do the firewall because I needed to get rid of the original HVAC holes. I’m doing the interior, because it just plain ole needed a freshening up. That way when riding down the road it’ll feel like a new truck while the outside is OG paint by Walter DeWayne himself.

**nlped** · 06-08-2022, 05:37 PM

1st coat of primer

Understood. I did the interior already for the same reasoning.

**nlped** · 06-12-2022, 07:41 PM

To prove that I’m working on both pieces.. I got the 468/700r4 installed and the Chevelle headers fit without issue. MOVING FORWARD!!! Shooting for September finish date.

It looks awesome!

**nlped** · 06-17-2022, 02:38 PM

Inching along. GEEZUS, painting the interior was true act of acrobatics. But almost done. Still gotta paint all the small parts and the firewall.

**nlped** · 06-21-2022, 01:22 PM

Firewall is painted!!!

**68bowtie** · 06-22-2022, 11:44 PM

Wow pretty sharp color. It’s gonna look great!

Thanks man! It’s actually just the oe 507 paint code. I only did the firewall and interior. I’m leaving the exterior the original used & abused paint.
