Yeah, I'm not risking scratching these up. Aluminum is easy enough to mess up anyway.

mcbassin · 01-20-2010, 01:25 AM

Looking Good!

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-20-2010, 01:56 AM

Thanks!

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-21-2010, 12:52 PM

So the water pump decided to go bad. The block is from a 92, so we got a 92 water pump. And the 86 brackets don't go with a 92 water pump. And a 92 pump is for a serp setup. So now I gotta go to the junkyard and go raid some 90's trucks and get the whole serpentine setup off the front of a motor. Which is fine I guess since I wanted a 6 groove setup anyway so I could get a better alternator from DC Power Inc.

Damn!!! Your truck is looking sharper every time that I look at it. BTW, you never did show me what you did to the grille that was on it before the billet one.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-21-2010, 08:35 PM

Ahh I forgot to take pics of it, when I get back to the shop I'll snap a few pics of it. I never finished it, but I can show you the progress I made on it and you can pretty much figure out where I was going with it.

edit: and thanks man.

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-21-2010, 08:41 PM

Cool. Would you mind if I make a suggestion for some exhaust tips?

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-21-2010, 09:50 PM

Please do. I haven't decided what I want to do with 'em, that's why I left the pipes long like they are so I have enough to work with when I buy some tips.

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-21-2010, 10:54 PM

I think it would look good a pair of megaphones sticking out the back.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-21-2010, 11:36 PM

Megaphones? Have a link?

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-21-2010, 11:43 PM

They're the ones in this picture. They're really common on Challenger T/A's and Plymouth Cuda AAR's.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-22-2010, 12:21 AM

Ahh ok. Yeah those might look pretty good.

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-22-2010, 12:25 AM

Or you could get ones like mine has. Mine have the rolled lip. I want to get another set of them for the loudest truck contest and stretch a piece of piano wire inside of them.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-22-2010, 12:38 AM

Pics of your truck?

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-22-2010, 01:41 AM

Here's the best ones I have so far that show the tips.

One with the tips from when it still had the topper on it.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-22-2010, 01:48 AM

Those don't look bad at all. I like 'em.

I was in the FFA when I was in high school.

Jonboy · 01-22-2010, 10:25 AM

It looks like you are making good progress Nice truck!

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-22-2010, 11:50 PM

Thanks, made lots of progress today, pics will be uploaded tomorrow.
Got an serpentine setup now though

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-23-2010, 10:39 PM

Serpentine swap is complete. Have some pics but my phone is dead. Will post them tomorrow.

hotrod_991 · 01-23-2010, 11:29 PM

looks damn nice man keeps me motivated for my last few months over here to get home and start building mine. Keep up the good work

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-23-2010, 11:34 PM

Thanks man.

qu1cks1lver56 · 01-24-2010, 10:38 PM

Got my Grant wheel installed

Tach I installed a while back

I know my door jams aren't painted, yet. That's on the way. Those "buddy" paint job deals..

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-25-2010, 07:34 PM

I envy you. You have fully working gas gauge. How hard was the grant wheel to install? I've been looking at the chrome 3 spoker at AutoZone and wanted to know how hard they are to install?

mcbassin · 01-25-2010, 07:37 PM

Sweet Progress! Digging that wheel and Tach

Haha That's the only factory gauge that works right. Well the volt gauge works too.

The wheel was pretty easy to install, need a puller, some sockets, and some patience.
