Thanks for the info Karl I greatly appreciate it!

Can't wait to see that paint on that bad boy!!

aggie91 · 07-11-2013, 02:59 PM

Here is a shot of the cab in sealer from the painter yesterday:

He got the cab painted and I believe Korbin is going to go drop off the fenders and pick up the cab this afternoon...

aggie91 · 07-12-2013, 09:33 AM

Got the cab home and into the garage before the storms rolled thru. Turns out the storms missed us and we only got a little bit of rain, no hail or winds like parts of East Texas did last night.

Picked up the front hubs after work too and Korbin got the spindle and lower arms repainted last night. Tonight is putting it all back together so it is a roller. Hopefully we get the trans back today too. It is getting the shift kit and corvette servo installed.

Low Elco · 07-12-2013, 10:08 AM

Yaaaay, paint! Always a good day. Congratulations, Guys!

Jonboy · 07-12-2013, 10:16 AM

Looking good, guys!

86swb · 07-12-2013, 02:20 PM

Gotta love that Victory Red paint.

Can't kech me · 07-13-2013, 10:42 PM

My aunt Kari got me a gift card for custom plates, anything 6 letters as long as it's not taken, and i need some ideas. Rover is taken, rrover is taken, but roverr is available, i like "fired" because it goes with the fire red paint, i need more ideas though!

Got the tranny back and mated it with the engine, and dropped that into the frame. undercoated the bed in the same raptor liner as the cab, looks beter that the cab though!

Tomorrow the inside of the cab will be raptor linered, and hopefully dropped onto the frame. Need to work on the filler door inside the bed, going to use the hinge assembly from a spare 98 bed my dad had.

It's crunch time guys, we are shooting to have it together in 9 days, that'll give us 2 days to work out a few kinks before trailering it all the way to austin. Hope to cruise around austin at night after the show!

1979cstepside · 07-14-2013, 03:15 AM

Good luck!

tex_waco_usmc · 07-14-2013, 08:38 AM

What show are you going to and what day? I live not too far from Austin and wouldn't mind seeing this build in person. Maybe even drive down my daughters project.

86swb · 07-14-2013, 10:19 AM

I live in Mayfield, Kentucky and I would come down after it is done if you would let me drive it home.

Going to be beautiful.

We are taking it to Heat Wave in Round Rock. The show is July 27-28. Vehicles entered in the show can move in on Friday the 26th. We plan on leaving Longview on the 25th.

aggie91 · 07-15-2013, 09:26 AM

We had a very productive weekend. Got the fuel system done, tank mounted and wires for the pump and sending unit hooked up and ran to the front.

Put the engine and trans in, mounted the exhaust, put the front suspension together and did a very rough adjustment of the toe. Rolled it out side and gave the frame a good cleaning.

Front wheels should ship from aewheel today. We will see if they got it right this time. We are working hard on it...

Jonboy · 07-15-2013, 10:30 AM

Right on!

Low Elco · 07-15-2013, 10:40 AM

Checkin' stuff off the list.... Cool!

Been working everyday on the truck and have gotten a ton completed. Still a bunch to do. I have not be taking many pictures, but did get one of the sound deadener installed on the floor:

cyclefreak207 · 07-18-2013, 11:30 AM

LOOKING EXCELLENT, as expected

What are the specs on those wheels?? I love the way they look! and how pricey were they if you don't mind me asking??

Claytona08 · 07-18-2013, 11:52 AM

Man that frame and engine looks great! Good job guys

Which ones? The fronts are Boss 307 that I don't think are made anymore in a 5 lug wheel. The rears are Eagle 225's. The Eagles are the ones that will be on the truck if the fronts ever come in...

Can't kech me · 07-22-2013, 12:15 PM

haven't had internet for the past few days guys, but have gotten a lot done. Brakes are done. We got a lot of wiring done but still have a lot to go, but last night we had enough wiring done to turn the key, and before i turned the starter over gas spilled all over the ground. Turns out, we forgot to tighten one fitting on the fuel filter, and the other fitting on the filter was bad. We fixed the fittings, had no leaks, and with the truck up on jackstands we fired the engine, started first try, idled great, sounded great. Such a relief to know that the PCM was wired up correctly. Had the glass installed just now this morning, carpet is being picked up today, headliner getting upholstered today, all interior trim is painted using Bulldog adhesion promoter and SEM Landeax black. looks great, very happy with the color, theres no gloss to it which i wanted. Will get pics, you guys hold me to it! we are 3 days away from when this thing has to be on the trailer and done!

aggie91 · 07-22-2013, 01:44 PM

While I am eating my lunch I thought I would get an update in. Korbin just posted and gave you guys some details as to where we are at this time. Here are some pictures to go along with that...
PCM and Relays/Fuses mounted under the dash:

Shifter Mounted on floor:

EZ Wiring, 21 circuit Mini Fuse panel mounted under dash and wiring going everywhere!!!

Brake Master Cyliner Mounted and Plumbed

Another shot of the engine...

Happy Momma! Just after we fired the engine for the first time in this truck...at 11:45 pm...we were all tired and worn out...

aggie91 · 07-22-2013, 01:49 PM

Front and Rear glass is in. Special thanks to Billy at Ace Auto Glass for showing Korbin what all was involved with putting in glass.

Claytona08 · 07-22-2013, 02:05 PM

I noticed your son had a Cowboys shirt on and your wife had an Aggies shirt! Looks like you are raising them right!

Progress looks great!

77ChevySharkBite · 07-22-2013, 02:12 PM

Looking very sharp guys!!!!

I can't wait to see the finished product!!

Your right the whole family looks beat!

86swb · 07-22-2013, 02:16 PM

Would have loved to have heard the start up.

1979cstepside · 07-22-2013, 07:15 PM
