Thanks guys!..........I really wish I had more to show you , but I only get to work on it 2-3 hrs a night............Stay TUNED in the coming days though.

HotRod C/10 · 10-23-2012, 09:53 PM

had to clearance my 1 1/4" rotors for the BOSS 338's to fit but it was very minimal.........put a 40 grit flap disk on the angle grinder and spun the rotor........looks like it belongs there too!............. changed the grit till it matched the rotor texture.........i am a detailed person when it comes to my toys........this truck is no exception.

HotRod C/10 · 11-02-2012, 10:48 PM

painted my trailing arms and rear spring pockets.......

HotRod C/10 · 11-02-2012, 10:56 PM

ok guys, I am at a crossroad now on this build...........frame is sandblasted and painted, more than I originally planned on when I bought this truck........I had planned on cleaning up the engine bay, slapping the motor and trans in and driving it.........wellllllllllll i went a lil deeper than planned.... so as I wait on my Prothane body mounts to come in, do I do the body work on the rockers and floor spots.......orrrrr do I drive it patina for a year and then do the bodywork? Has an all new suspension as well.
