Thanks buddy I never get tired of looking at your Stepper

Bennett68C10 · 10-12-2012, 07:37 AM

I received my radiator cover yesterday from member JoeyLutz. Really nice looking piece and should dress up the motor compartment nicely.

Thanks, it's made out of steel. I'm either going to powdercoat it satin black or paint it body color. I'll figure it out when I get to that point.

Some pics from today. I cleaned up the floor and firewall inside the cab and painted it with etching primer. Then I spread some seam sealer over all the welded areas and started to spray some boom mat over it. As you can see I only had about a half of can left so it didn't cover much

I'll order some more this week and finish it off next weekend.

**CC69Rat** · 10-14-2012, 07:58 PM

Looks great!

Do you still have those PB front shock relocators?

Thanks buddy, I installed the PB front shock relocators when I switched to my tubular arms. I still have my Performance Online shock relocators that I took off. They are the same ones gringoloco is using on his.

Thanks Jim, next weekend I'll get the boom mat sprayed and the floor will be done. I have also been working on the outside firewall doing all the bodywork so it is nice and smooth

Just once, I'd love to pull up the carpet on something I bought and see a floor that looks like that. Keep it up, Keith.

Thanks Zoomin, it took a lot of rust work to get the floor to this point. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I just hope it stays looking this good for a long time, I don't want to be doing this again anytime soon.

I didn't even notice it was gone until you just pointed it out. Guess I'll have to find another.

Got some goodies in today. I bought the complete Midnight Series Lokar pedal kit with the Billet Gas Pedal for 67-70's. Also got myself a new waterneck cause I didn't like the look of the 45 degree one I currently have so I got myself a Black Anodized Billet Specialties 15 degree water neck. Should look really good with the Orange motor and black valve covers and air cleaner.

big_al_71 · 10-17-2012, 07:42 PM

Oh yeah new goodies !!!

Thanks Raul, I'm also using Cool Flex hoses so I hope the Black water neck looks good with the Polished hoses. I think it should, everything in my engine compartment is either Orange, Black or Polished.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 10-18-2012, 11:11 AM

Beautiful parts Man ! I think the black water neck with polished hoses will look great ! very nice contrast, and work with the rest of the engine components too !
