sell it as a "race only" product. no product liability or warranty.

Don't know if it holds water, but it sounds good!

Well I finally got to do some work on the truck and now I can post the pics. All the extra sheet metal for the front of the truck is ready to paint so maybe sunday have some after shots.Also got my rallies painted just need trim rings and caps.

Thanks for covering up my car bud.

Got the grill hung and glove box door installed and decided to modify the center console so it goes up to the dash and down to the floor. I havent decided what I want to do with the center. Carpet or aluminum sheeting on sides and carpet top or just mold and paint it....IDEAS?

[chad64chevy]

i say vinyl or leather in the sides to match seats and sheet metal the center paint to match the dash

[shortbed70]

I think that's the way I'm going to go. Wrap the entire thing then do accent panels on the top.
On a build note I ordered the rear brake hose I needed to finish my brakes to get it mobile today so hopefully when it's time to move it I won't have to push the tank!!! If it runs when I do move it you guys will see a video of it!

Here is the fun Ive been having lately...

[shortbed70]

Man I hate sanding body filler. I'm not that good at it so it takes me a few tries to get it good for primer but when it's 90 degrees and everything you sand sticks too you I'm almost ready to drop it of at a shop and pay to have it done!!!!

This could be the last post for a while guys. With everything in todays world going up except for my wages things are getting kinda tight so I have to stop spending on the truck and get some stuff paid down. Hopefully something changes pretty quick....Ill still be on just no updates unless someone wants to fund my project...

[daverod]

Same here. I have 3 project that I need someone to fund, Maybe we'll get lucky. Till then I think I'll be looking for another yob. or 2
