I didn't even notice any color differences. I just love the clean overall apperance.

Got the safety inspection done at 8:00 a.m today registered and plates at 2:00 p.m
First freeway trip perfect.
Came out of the DMV to a group of folks taking pics of her, just proves my point that these new cars and trucks have no soul plastic and tinfoil in all of there cookie cutter glory.

Contemplate on a ball joint fork, jacking her up and getting the springs cut , but, why not get coil-overs... That's means new upper and lower control arms right!!! What a dilemma.. So basically I just crawled under the truck and looked at it...TODAY...

**dean jendro** · 09-26-2012, 10:15 PM

Upgraded the front end appearance with my freshly straightened and rechromed bumper. Had the old beat up bumper guards done also. They really came out nice. OOps, now the grill doesn't look so good! It never ends.

That looks great!

Thanks, Mark.
The rear bumper is next. I found a pretty decent one in Idaho and had it chromed along with the front. Both came out real nice. I can't wait to get that ugly beast off the back of my truck!

LT1 Burb · 09-26-2012, 11:58 PM

Put the rear end in today, bolted the springs in and put the rear shocks in as well. I tried to install the front coils but with no weight it was a no go. I could chain the frame to the floor but will probably by a coil spring tool.

mark 66 · 09-27-2012, 06:48 AM

Finished gutting the cab making it ready for the media blast man.hope there is something left when we get it back

donthekawguy · 09-27-2012, 05:53 PM

Today I put in the heat and sound deadener I got from Lowes. I also took the door panels to the powder coater.

Narxoleptic Customs · 09-27-2012, 09:20 PM

Picked up the 700r4...

It wasn't today but I replaced a Ratfink monster head shift knob with one I turned on my lathe from spalted tamarind wood.

jbgroby · 09-28-2012, 08:40 AM

Spalted Tamarind (never heard of it so I had to look it up), The is a beautiful wood from Southeast Asia. Much of this wood comes from logs that were either found on the forest floor or were cut and then allowed to spalt in the very damp warm conditions of the jungle. The colors and various line patterns are tuly unique from one piece to another. The patterns are created as a result of insects, so expect insect holes in all spalted woods. Use a good dust mask with any type of spalted wood you work on it.

The photo they show are beautiful. I bet a coffe and end table made of that wood would be beautiful.
