Re: In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)
Started the task of prime and paint on the frame. I really envy the floor space of an "actual shop".

Re: In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)
Lookin good! I LOVE the rear wheels and tires. They are the perfect width IMO. I'm planning on going 19x12's on the back.

Added 05/18/11: What helped the most was The c-notch is a bolt on from CPP. I didn't like the way it looked with the bolts, so I welded and shaved it into the frame.

Re: In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)
why not just start fresh with a new harness? I think you can get the Kwik Wire kit for around 400 bucks. I went with the uber expensive Painless kit, and re-wired my whole truck. I had the same problem as you at first. Glad i just cut my losses and started over with the wiring.

Re: In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)
Just read your whole thread.
Did you pick the tire sizes for looks alone or are you going to autocross this as well? Subscribed.

Re: In the beginning there was a 69 party (eyebrows up)
Looks only. I was a part of the SCCA Autocross scene for a while with a mustang I built just to race autocross. Thats were the experience with these tire combos came from. The mustang was too radical for the street and was no fun on normal roads, always worried about tearing it up. Not again for this guy. As much fun as autocross is, the actual racing vs. working just isn't worth it in Texas heat. Especially in the middle of parking lots. Thats what building a street rods is all about right? Race inspired ideas on street cars/trucks! This trucks forecast for competition are show and shines with slight chances of 383 tuning strip trips.
