Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Still working on it . The whole bed is now ready for paint , minus the tailgate . The two that I had just didn't measure up . I would up springing for a really sweet OEM gate . ( Thanks Daniel ! [ dirish ] )
Still have a few more changes to make for the efi . I did get the tank pulled and installed the new in-tank pump . As for the motor , well I wound up taking a few steps backwards on that. I was just planning to pull the motor and repaint and install new cam . Well , I pulled the heads off and disassembled for paint . Wound up installing new springs and valve job . Then , when i came to the block , I figured that too would be much easier if it was bare . So once tore down , proceeded to smooth all the casting . The POR 15 paint looks much better with it slicked out . While its apart , if course it's getting new bearings , rings . So in a nutshell , an engine repaint turned into a total engine build ! And I wonder why this truck is not finished yet. . Lol ! Posted via Mobile Device
