Re: Project: Shiro
It's good to know ones limitations and not end up making things worse and costing yourself more time & money along the way. Nothing wrong with that at all, I applaud your attempt to even try.

Re: Project: Shiro
Well, it was a whirlwind trip to drop the truck off, 1100 miles in 22 hours to be exact. Here is a pic of my pile-o-parts in the Nsane Hot Rodz shop. (photo credit to @nsanehotrodz) I am really looking forward to seeing this old heap whipped into shape.
When we arrived home I was greeted by a box containing my Boyd Welding EFI fuel tank courtesy of Travis at Pro Performance. Many thanks to Travis and Dave for partnering to provide a group buy and a great product.

Re: Project: Shiro
Nice.
Better bag up those bolts/nuts/washers before you loose something...LOL Don't forget to remove the cab mount bushings before taking it to get coated...

Very nice. My wife got into the habit of throwing out bags for whatever reason. so when I did my last engine swap, I used her plastic bowls.

Re: Project: Shiro
Got the first round of pictures from DeWayne and the folks at Nsane Hot Rodz... The cab floor is like swiss cheese in places with little holes sort of all over the place, but not nearly as bad as a few of you have experienced, and a few other areas I wasn't planning for will also need attention.

Re: Project: Shiro
Your cab is in good hands.
I think a LOT of these old trucks would look different after a trip to the blaster. At least you will know what you have when you are done!

Most of these old trucks have way more rust than people think. The blaster will find it, no doubt. Keep the pictures coming. |
