Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Well I went down to Matt's today and started building his exhaust. I got the pass side built and in except for a hanger in the back.. (ran out of time) I plan to travel back down that way tomorrow and finish the exhaust system. I did take a few pics however they didn't turn out so great (new phone case messing with the flash). So I will be sure and take some good pics tomorrow after its all done. I know Matt is out there right now trying to get as much done as possible, when I left he was painting his hood hinges and about to mount the seat! He's getting really close!!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

That is such a good feeling when you know you are almost there can't wait to see this thing outside with it aired out and running.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Hey guys, I know it's late, and I am beat. I wanted to say, though, that I realized something really cool as I was cleaning up after I came in tonight. Yesterday, which is only 30 mins ago, marked exactly two months since we had our first workday out here at my place. I can't believe it! I feel like we've been friends forever (in a good way, lol). Also, I can't believe how far everyone's project has come. I know I get a little worked up when I'm in my shop sometimes, but part of the reason is because I had given up on classic vehicles a few years ago, because I couldn't ever seem to put something back together after I took it apart. Some of this was due to lack of knowledge, a lot was due to lack of confidence, and even more was due to lack of help. There are some things that you just plain need help for, especially when you are still learning. I just get nervous sometimes that I am going to somehow fail to finish. With all of your help, (and I mean everyone that comes to the house, posts in my thread, or even just looks at it), I have been able to get really close to accomplishing this. What really blows me away is that its only been two months since we started!! I think I'm forming a habit, , and I am ready to get this thing on the road, and look forward to devoting more time to other people's projects! THANK YOU ALL!!!

If I had known that Rus' camera was going to give trouble, I would have taken more, but y'all will get the idea from this one. BTW, the exhaust looks KILLER so far, I can't wait to hear it and show it off!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Another update on the LIST.....

So.... In order to have my truck driveable on the 19th, I need to get some things done. I thought I would post a to do list for this week, and y'all can chime in, and help me not to forget anything. I think I'll try to list most important first, and go down to things I'd like to have done, and finish with pipe dreams, lol.

1)Install accesories on engine DONE
2)throttle and trans linkage to carb DONE
3)fenders, core support, radiator DONE
4)wire harness w/hei, and internally regulated alternator DONE
5)battery in bed DONE
6)finish fuel tank install DONE
7)bolt headers on DONE

this is the bare minimum to be able to
8)start engine and set timing RUNS, NEEDS TUNING
9)finish plumbing air rideNEED AIR VALVES INSTALLED
10)wire air ride compressorsDONE, LEFT ONE WIRE OFF

which is the minimum needed to
11)get exhaust installed 1/2 DONE

then I would like to

12)set the bed on (wouldn't mind doing before exhaust, so I'll have lights)DONE
13)bolt seat in DONE
14)rear shock relocators installed DONE

If, by some stroke of blessing I get all of that done, I'd like to
15)clean and paint new door panels
16)Install door panels, dash pad, seat cover
17)Install dash/filler radio
18)Install new tail lights
19) install new lenses on marker lights
20) install new mirrors
21) new tailgate chains

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

So it looks like if we can get the other half of the exhaust on, and get the timing set right, hook up the air lines (wiil take 5 min TOPS), and hook up like 3 wires, then as long as no problems are revealed during a test drive, we will be CLARKSVEGAS OR BUST!!!

The only thing I know I won't get done is the driver side mirror. It needs a new backing plate that won't be here till next week. As far as the other lights and stuff, they all work fine, I just have new stuff. I'm sure I'll prob wind up doing it, lol.

Looks like you're going to have to just turn your head to the left a lot Saturday while driving down I-24.
