If you're ever coming East of Alberta....I can give you an address for that minty short box....lol. Nice job buddy, keep up the great work. Inspiring for sure.

Gordonr1973 · 01-17-2014, 08:52 PM

Way easier now with the crane to remove the cab!

I'm trying to build the best truck that I can possibly build myself....last time when it was together it just didn't feel 'right'.

I hope that this truck can inspire someone to at least try something outside their comfort zone like Dennis & Glock did for me.

When you are done, you won't be kicking yourself! You are doing a great job. Any progress?

You are a madman, Gordon!!

I agree. I still can't believe he started over!

I want a garage with big windows in it like yours.

Gordonr1973 · 03-08-2014, 08:14 PM

Hey guys; thanks for the kind words!

I'm busy organizing another project, but finally got this truck back in front and some work actually done on it this week.

Sodell · 03-08-2014, 10:53 PM

Looking good...

Greenlee · 03-09-2014, 02:29 AM

Nice work!

kikkegek · 03-09-2014, 05:34 AM

that hood is so sick!

I forgot where I had seen it and there it is again...nice work man!

Gordonr1973 · 03-11-2014, 12:10 AM

Jammed it today....what a difference with a bit better paint gun!

I can guarantee that unless someone has a mig welder and about 100 hours to spare to get it perfect, this is the only place you'll see that hood!

I thought I was finished with it last year, but I still spent a week blocking it right before I primed/sealed it this week.

mcboomport · 03-12-2014, 06:14 PM

Wow Gordon!! I cannot believe you are starting over! It looked great before! I can't wait to see updates.

y5mgisi · 03-12-2014, 08:36 PM

What paint gun were you using, and what are you using now? Looking incredible!

Gordonr1973 · 03-13-2014, 12:54 AM

I picked up a DeVilbis FinishLine gun. Nothing fancy, just a bit better than my first gun.

Coming along slowly:

Devillusion · 03-13-2014, 10:02 AM

Looking great......

Gordonr1973 · 03-13-2014, 04:35 PM

It's getting there...slowly

Greenlee · 03-13-2014, 04:51 PM

Cool! I have been waiting to see that hood on the truck. Looks good!

Gordonr1973 · 03-13-2014, 10:03 PM

Following how Alex smoothed fender transitions on his truck:

Gordonr1973 · 03-13-2014, 10:07 PM

Gordonr1973 · 03-14-2014, 11:55 AM

Put on a cleaned up master cylinder and had two new lines made up to meet the pie proportioning valve.

Billy81 · 03-14-2014, 01:40 PM

What kind of brake lines are those?

Gordonr1973 · 03-14-2014, 02:26 PM

Gregg's Distributing made them for me to my lengths. I don't know the brand of the hose.

You're doing an amazing job on the truck Gordon! Been following your thread since I saw the first picture on page 1! Total Transformation!

I too have bought a DeVilbis HVLP 2 Gun kit (came with two guns and 3 tips 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8) I can't wait to see how my base coat sprays with this gun! (2K Primer sprayed pretty well with 1.8 tip)

Keep up the good work! And keep taking pics!

SamsAutoParts73-87 · 03-14-2014, 09:29 PM

Looking good...again!

Been lurking for a while, very inspirational build for me, I live in the rust belt, so I can relate...
