congrats on the totm, jeff!
you deserve it, your truck inspires me to get to work on mine! still cant wait for the burnout video, and to see the lil blue bottle wake that motor up, lol!! i agree that i like staying old school with the motor, but its hard not to think what a 5.3l motor with a carb and intake and cam would did also! i've been noticing that it dont take much to wake them up also, once again congrats on the totm!!

i finally got the time to work on the truck again, I now have the interior back together and have modges bling ready to be shown off here ya go, and by the way paradise dragstrip is having a show and go this sat. and the ole gal is going to get her guts slung out so all in the area of Calhoun ga come on over there is bound to be some nice cars and trucks there. alan, grab greg and bring your truck, I would really like to finally meet you guys.

[likaroc13]

looks nice! could you snap another complete shot of the interior? Hope you have fun at the show n' go!

[Bomp]

Lookin' really Sharp.

When I ran the drags I was told if you don't break something you ain't steppin on the gas hard enough.

[Modges'66]

Dude!!!!
Your dash, it looks simply Spectacular!!!
Better than mine I think!
But I am pretty sure that the second & third set SHOULD turn out better ,simply due to experience!
...I hope that none of the knobs fall off at launch! Ha-Ha!
I am very pleased with the way that they look in your truck!
Did you ever get that blue bottle?
...I got one sitting right here for mine, but it may be a bit before I use it.
I am hoping that you are getting it dialed-in, and have a great day at the show & go!

[Jmorales3181]

Bling!!! Dash looks great man!

Man that really does look super good !!
Did you have to clear coat the aluminum to keep it from tarnishing or anything?

My buddy is making some Airborne and Air Assault badges and said I could have a set but I would have to clear coat them.

The dash looks amazing. A race on Saturday sounds fun. As long as i haven't floated away by then. Is your brother bringing out his '68 also? I will do my best to make it. Thanks for the heads up.

[chad64chevy]

that dash looks great, one day I hope to own a set for my truck!! you and your brother should race and video tape it, that would be awesome!!!

yeah I hope we don't get rained out, and yeah my brother is taking his truck, not too sure how its going to do he still hasn't got his dragradials on due to the rear brakes he used and he's kinda afraid of tearing up the transmission so we put my toyo's on it a little while ago so it might hook a little.

Your comment"thanks alan, yeah i have been busy just not making alot of headway, after looking at the drivers door i found a low place i wasnt happy with a all so i took it back off and i have it ready to re-spray now, then while installing my door glass in the passenger side it slipped from my hands and knocked a small dent from the inside- out so now i get to re-do the bottom half of the passenger door as well. i did get my vacuum gauge installed in the dash but unfortuntly knocked the camera off the work bench and broke it, so now i am just waiting for the garage roof to fall in and get it over with some people were born lucky instead of good looking but i got rooked on both ends"

Flip, you have the same luck as I do. A lot has to do with working alone, 2 hands make it so much less stressful on the delicate jobs. So sorry to hear about that day, those are the days you wish you hadn't got out of bed. Also the day you hopefully learned not to say "Well, it can't get any worse" because it always can. That's as far as I've read so far but I have to say your truck looks Flippin awesome!!!!! Fantastic craftsmanship! I wish I could be 1/4 as talented as you! I used to do all my own work, now due to my back I farm out the engine, trans., but I still try to do the rest of it myself. The last couple paintjobs I did didn't come out as good as I'm used too so I'm kinda nervous on that...but those were motorcycles and I didn't have a spray-booth...we'll see. Ok I'm going back to reading! ..
