 Welded up all the random holes in my floor and got some primer on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Fixed some rust around the cowl, replaced the bolt bumper and straightened out the mess some kid left me with. Still do not fell sorry for the loss of his rig. HA!

I installed a new Forever Sharp billet wheel. Very happy with how it looks and feels

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Been a while in the making, but I got my Vintage Air hose kit crimped up by a local hydraulic shop, buttoned up with the new drier, and vacuumed, oiled, and charged up by my go-to shop for the stuff I can't figure out or do myself. Tightened up the belts cause they were squealing like a stuck pig after sitting for a few months...cool and quiet. Ordering up hose separators and tie downs so the damn zip ties don't break and drop the a/c lines on the alternator pulley and saw a hole in them which caused this headache in the first place.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I am going to cheat. Yesterday my dad and I got the carb back on, we put the radiator core support rubber bushings in, and we began to put the new-to-me radiator core support on.
Today I have just asked questions and called NAPA for info. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got busy doing some body work thanks to the use of George Barris's nephew's shop that is next to his place. Working in 100 weather is no fun. Well it is fun once I saw I accomplished something. And dang why are there so many bolts to the fender. Had to take it off to access some hard to reach dents.

Sat down and added up two years worth of build receipts for my 68. She's truly a money pit!

Eighty eight hundred buckos, and we're not finished yet. Lots of new parts though.
