Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nothing physically done but last week I made mine my DD. Sold my 2003 Audi A6 Avant just in time for my wife to get laid off. Now we can't get a loan to buy anything for me to drive so I'll be sweating in my truck this summer. As Curly from the Three Stooges would say "I was a victim of soycumstance".

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I removed all my brakes to replace,had to order shoes,cut one coil off the front springs.I also removed rear cover to replace leaking axle seals,figured I might as well do bearings while I'm there.I hope to have it all back together this weekend.Still need to order drop springs for rear wanted to do front,then measure.Trying to get it roadworthy for now.

Gas pedal had been sticking and found that the throttle shaft was loose. Replaced throttle body and adjusted TPS, much better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Washed the truck for a car show this weekend, got to take a picture of a B17 flying by, the wide windshield trim was delivered today, and the full floor vinyl floor mat will be here next week! It was a good day!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
10-4. A bunch of us have been asking about this mat for a year or more, but apparently no one on the forum has installed the entire mat yet to provide photos. I'll get some good clear shots whether it fits great or turns out to be a disappointment.

Told my son to wash mine so he could take it to a local car show while I'm in Nashville at a BMX race with my daughter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I welded up the new bottom piece for the core support.
It turned out great! Tomorrow I am grinding the welds smooth and painting it. It will be good to FINALLY have at least one part done! Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Sorry, no explination. Bottom pic is pretty much how she looked when started. Top pic, I stripped out the interior and painted it. Previouse owner had a hole cut in dash so I cleaned it up and installed stereo. Grand Daughter cant wait to hear some tunes.

Classic kid priority - nothing more important than making sure the radio works! Great photo.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
on my daily driver i painted the valve cover hammered texture black but didnt like it so stripped it down and painted it a hammered texture charcoal grey to match my twin pipes. I also chopped and tacked my project 68 frame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed the middle seat belt so I can take my kids fishing. Too bad I'm work this weekend and they're in school next week. Maybe the week after.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
On the '66 Burb:
Well, after alot of disCUSSion, found my mathmatical errors on my front crossmember. Luckily, the fix was simple and all is square again with the world!. Re-installed the upper and lower control arms, made new lower bag mounts and installed eng/trans. Hopefully will have the steering u-joints later this week and will have the column mounted, also. Been away from this project for about a month while getting the shop truck to driver status. Will post pics later this week. |
