Thanks man! Im really enjoying the way it's turning out. I'm still undecided on the color. Switching between a charcoal grey or the arrival blue that I painted the firewall. Hell it'll prolly change next week!!!

I knew you did the firewall in the blue. That's why I was curious. Wondered if that was going to be it or if you were on the fence.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

It will more than likely be the arrival blue since I already have the paint.

Not much for updates, waiting on some tools to show up and then the sheetmetal work should begin.

It's going pretty well. The first few weeks were pretty rough trying to adjust but I'm either used to lack of sleep or I'm getting more, can't really differentiate between the two. Lol. It sure is amazing how much priorities change when you have a little one!

Thank you sir! She is a blessing! I got them in a skim coat of filler and blocked and that's as far as I have gotten with them. May end up changing a few things on them once I get the rest of the interior drawn up.

Re: Project: 3rd times a charm: 83 c10!
finally got a few things situated and started on the sheetmetal. The entire truck will have to be stripped back to bare metal. There is rust forming under the "bodywork". I assume because it wasn't epoxied before any mud work started. Anyways...







Still need to planish the tacks and tack in a few more spots then I can start tigging her up.

Fully welded.

Highlighting highs and lows

After some hammer and dolly work. 75% done.

Still needs some fine tuning with a slapper but it's getting closer.
