Vintage air unit.......arrived.....

[wutnxt]

Well i have been busting it on this thing lately and am a little behind so as soon as i get a chance i will update it....maybe even later today when i download the pictures..

[wutnxt]

Finally got several coats on all the oak and wet sanded ....the stainless strips came so it was time to put it together. I have more work to do but am waiting for a fuel door for the oak before i cut in my hole. I will finish up the oak ,mount the bed ,cut the hole in the oak and put the filler neck in the gas tank...you guy's know the dril i am sure....but the point is I am working on this thing....lol

[jlsanborn]

Thanks man....

Well having done a few of these now and I live where it really rains and there is so much moisture I have bought a billet door to sink into the bed to hide the actual gas filler. It's at the shop ready to pick it up I will post all the info you need to check it out and a couple of pictures

It took awhile to choose it I actually did a fender 3 times before it was right....I have done so many of these that I wanted something differnt and I thought hey why not this....lol

Okay, I've read and re-read and can't find anything that mentions that Sweet paint color you used or brand, layers, flavor etc.
Did I miss something?
Your color (here on my screen) is a Dark almost bluish/black sinister green. Black in the dark, light hits it and POW.

Ain't fair to keep it a secret I tell ya. oh btw, bed wood looks good too.

LOL....Bomp you crack me the hell up ...

Sinster Green about says it all....It's a deep dark green with a gold flect through it. I wanted something that looks black almost in the shade but when the sun hits it there is a ton of i reffer to it as break meaning that the color changes across the curves.....Then we cleared the hell out of it and it has not yet been polished and won't be until it's all put together....and then the white stripe .... we added a hint of the green to give it some effect...and a little pearl thing going on. Ps....it smells like Mint and it tastes like crap just saying.

[wutnxt]

Well it took me longer to get all of the steering figured out.....But it's roughed in right now. Flaming river floor shift coloum....32 spline coupler to DD shaft...24" of stainless DD bar ( which the extra slipped right into the coloum ) And a block to hold it all in place. I just have to take it all out and drill the set screws spots and drill and bolt the top. P.s yes there is alot of wire in the cab but I put in a bunch of extra stuff so hey.......lots and lots of wire...

[wutnxt]

Okay so ....if you look under the stereo...you will see my A/C controls that are sunk into the dash. This is kinda stupid but when we took the old radio steel out we cut it,chopped it,and hit with a hammer until we made that recess then placed it back into the bottom curve of the dash.So when I am working in the cab I just can't help looking at that and smiling....but I really dig it

[wutnxt]

Has been coil shopping, I want to keep this truck a coil truck no bags for a change....I need to do 5"drops in the back and 3" upfront. It's way to high for me and she needs to be lowerrrrrrrrrrrr but still shopping

[NEWFISHER]

Hey thanks....
I think it turned out great but I bet there was a easier way to do it lol...

[jlsanborn]

The re-purposing mod is really cool!

[Low Elco]

Eibach coils for a 73-87 for the front? Used 'em twice, great results both times.

[wutnxt]

Well making some progress....Got the box onto the frame still have some work to do for mounting but nothing to serious. I might have to take it off to put my filler in the back so I won't get to carried away with it just yet.

[wutnxt]

Thanks to a beer fridge and the boys for showing up to lend a hand with putting the box on. Saved me a bunch of work and probaly a few scrapes here and there.....I am starting to dig this colour

[Bomp]

Yes, I dig the Sinister Green too.
I was thinking I'd paint mine Dirty Money Green but Im waiting for shots in the sun of yours.

[darkhorse970]

Very nice truck! I'm in for the ride.

[chad64chevy]
