Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Fired the engine for the first time after the rebuild yesterday and today finished everything up by putting the new valve covers and air cleaner on. Now on to pass. fender cup repair and re installing the fenders. Cruisin' season's coming up and I'm way behind.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I ordered some LED headlights on Monday & they arrived today. I was able to get one of them installed. Rusty screws held the other 3 up. Lol.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Decided to tackle the rusty fender up today. I tried a different way to make the repop cup fit by lining up the wheel opening side then using a spot weld cutter I removed the piece on the rear of the cup and made relief cuts to "stretch" the front of the cup. More pics to follow

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I had to make one relief cut on the front of the cup to move it over and add a small piece of filler to the gap. Every thing lined up and time to start tack welding.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Sanded the primer on the fender cup and shot some Dupli Color on it. Doesn't match but it's down low and doesn't look too bad. After all she's a beater driver! Oh, and I got the left fender hung too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I spent yesterday driving mine to get & return parts for my '02. That's the most driving I've done in it since the day I bought it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did you add some fade to the paint? I used to tell customers that I'm not able to match the old paint because they don't make "fade" to age it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I am working on that concoction. It takes years of research, driving in the rain, long days in the sun. Opp, better check the oil!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I didn't do it, but I paid to have it done. I had a new windshield installed while I worked. My daughter had her '11 impala done at the same time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Just got back from a test drive after replacing front coils and shorter rear blocks. Ride quality is better but I don't like the look as much. I'm waiting on new hood hinges so I can throw the hood back on and call it done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
plumbed in new PCV line, fuel, and vacuum advance. Looks nice and not just hoses. I found that spark plug ends fit perfect on the PCV to 3/8 tubing. I've done a bit of small tubing work.
