Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Stripped the old intake off and got the edelbrock performer EPS installed and then ran into a snag with the HEI not fitting.
This to this to this to this Just got to sort out if I can fit a stock HEI or whether I need to convert the twin point mallory to electronic with an external coil and then finish cleaning up and painting all the odd little brackets etc and refit them. I've even got a cool little direct mount moon temp guage to go in one hole on the manifold. The Mickey T valve covers are getting soda blasted as we speak and then I can either polish or paint them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
temporarily mounted a new radio in the spot for the heater controls (it will be stealth mounted later) replaced the door speakers with marine speakers (so that water won't kill them) and continued working on painting the door panels.
I am thinking about putting a pinstripe design on the bottom of the door once I get it looking ok. Maybe something in yellow (Navy blue paint right now) |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My dad found my Bowtie wingnut yesterday so that was my big install last night. Between a headache, sore jaw from a visit to the dentist and the 98* temp, I stayed inside. Hopefully I can get my carpet all prepped for install and get all of my stereo components installed for good tonight.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Managed to get all four new panels cut, and installed on the head liner of the burb. Tomorrow I plan to remove one and cut out a new one, since the gaps are to big for the bow strips and just barely hanging on.
The whole thing looks good, but I predict that I will re do another panel in the future. Trying hard to get her looking good for the Brothers show, and not having any head liner was bugging me to much. Hopefully she will look her best amongst so many hot looking trucks at the show.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
1969 stepper- bolted carb down, put in the radiator, water, added gas and busted it off for the first time. Went to local parts store and bought wheel cylinders, brake hardware kits and new front and rear shoes. Going to make it road worthy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
This was a few days ago but I finished part of the exhaust and mounted the cab. Today I rebuilt the bed and started to figure out how I want to mount my air tank. Let me know what you all think.
