Awesome Work!!!!....Thanks for the compliments on Sweet Pea....I have busted my arse on this truck. And really, you both are the only ones who have really seen it in person, who's opinion I respect because you guys see and know what it takes.....So coming from you two its a huge compliment.THANKS....... Randy,with the truck stuff out of the way.....It was an honor having you...We will have to do it again soon.... Andy, Had a great time man...Its always a blast......Just Remember June is around the corner |

Re: project (sweet pea)
Well Finally after 5 days Jegs sent me a new fuel pump gasket to replace my torn one.....Also I had to change the Thermostat Housing back to the original...3 gaskets and the Chrome one still leaked.....It took just one for the original one....I am hoping to do a side bed side job to get the seat done....

Re: project (sweet pea)
Smallish Update......After Scavenging some exhaust and some left overs at work. I managed to fab up a pretty decent little system. Really cant tell its from about 5 different pieces of pipe...LOL.....Also I can finally say that all the wiring is DONE...I got lights...( although one head light bulb is blown)....But I can pick one of those up....Relays for the fans are wired and I just put them on a on/off switch that gets power when the key is on.....I post some pics tonight off to a mothers day party....

Re: project (sweet pea)
Tony, your truck looks simply amazing, great job so far! i want the feeling that you have, the butterflys knowing it is almost completed. one question, i thought you were gonna get rid of the taillights you installed as they were only temporary to get it home. right., does not matter, she is still a sex machine in my mind, better keep the wife nearby now!!!

Re: project (sweet pea)
I am going to change the tail lights...I am going to put 39 ford light in the rear...We have one at our shop now that is getting the works so to speak...I have measured them out and they will require little cutting....I am just waiting on the Money Tree to break me off a leaf or two...They run 240 for a pair with L.E.Ds...So I will have to wait for a while....

Re: project (sweet pea)
Got the bumper all polished up this morning...It had some clear over spray on it from setting around. I also sprayed the inner grille as well. I just did a simple spray bomb gloss black...The outer grille is in decent shape.Its only about 4 years old....Got the outer edges wet sanded with some 400-then 600 then 1,000 grit...I just need to polish it...I am not real happy with the hood gaps...At this point they are just to big...But some time this week I should be able to put the latch in and see what I can do..........Anyways, here are a few pics....Still need to put the lights in the bumper...
