Re: Johns 66
Lil more progress. Got the front sway bar installed with the help of my main man Kayden. He made sure everything was tight.
Decided not to put the rear sway bar in. So Ill sell it when everything is done.

Re: Johns 66
Cab is DONE!!!!
It really looks good up close. It hasnt been cut and buffed. The body shop wants to wait until I get it all back together in case I nick something....once I get her all back together they will touch up anything I mess up then cut and buff all of it.

Re: Johns 66
Yes sir....its the 521 White just in base/clear
We had to cross reference and Im thinking it was a we# The truck was originally white so I wanted to keep it that way....I went with a GM charcoal gray for the interior.....it looks darker than it really is. Once I get the doors built and am able to take pictures in direct light the metallic will really show off. Thanks so much! Quote:
Ill try to get it picked up this week. Im gonna take the chassis to the body shop so they can help me put it on the frame which will help out alot, less likely to damage anything that way.

Re: Johns 66
So this will be my rant post.
I am trying, with a few exceptions for safety and drivability, to keep my truck as stock looking as possible and with the advise of a few people and mainly for looks I decided to go with an OE system with an upgraded compressor and condensor. I knew it would cost me extra butI like the look. So I ordered a complete system from 4-5-6 Trucks, Anthony Smith. He had helped me on my bolts so I digured this would be ok....Boy was I wrong. He has had my money for many months now and I do not have one part from him. Ive been given every "reason" under the sun as to why I dont have my parts. SO before you do any business with him beware you could simply be donating money. Jon Krogh is gonna round me up a system for my truck....just hate going through all the drama with Anthony.....so you have been warned. On the bright side, my truck should be finished painting either this week or next and assembly can start....and thats a real good thing

Also google the business and the AG has a 60k fine and 8k restitution lvied against him and has a cease and desist order againt the business. He is taking peoples money now to pay those things but is not shipping any parts. Only way I would deal with him is in person.

Re: Johns 66
Hey John. Sorry to hear your plight with that moron. As we discussed months ago over the phone, I knew he's a dishonest person when I dealt with him.
As for your continued build, congrats on the progress. I ran into a guy at the Dino's Get Down in Phoenix a couple weeks ago that had the complete system minus compressor, brackets, and condenser for sale at a reasonable price. I have his number - let me know and I can PM you his info. Take care, Mark |
