Who did you buy the kit from? I'm looking to do the same.

Hubscrub · 09-09-2010, 08:39 PM

cleaned one window, changed oil in the 97

llowlife · 09-09-2010, 07:27 PM

Removed fenders and box for a trip to the body shop as someone frenched in some lights and it has since rusted. Shes going back to factory. Hooked up a TPS to the quadrajet

Jwill41 · 09-10-2010, 08:19 AM

tratman2000 · 09-10-2010, 03:34 PM

bigdogboxers · 09-10-2010, 03:44 PM

Hubscrub · 09-10-2010, 09:40 PM

got the bearings and rings for the 67

OhioDan · 09-11-2010, 02:27 AM

Re-installed clutch return spring. Was looking under my truck for something, and saw the spring had come loose from the frame. Slid(? forced) my big fat behind

under the truck and put it back on. Thought the clutch pedal felt funny.

Todd Hepler · 09-11-2010, 07:49 AM

Got my front cross member painted.
4 a arms and a cross member and I have only used 1/4 quart of por-15. This stuff sure goes a long way!

88fordf150 · 09-11-2010, 03:49 PM

Mounted my front wheels and painted and installed my Big Block perches.

*Shane* · 09-11-2010, 04:13 PM

re-installed the transmission ... yay! no leaks!

**Stocker** · 09-11-2010, 05:42 PM

Re-installed a steering stabilizer I had just cleaned up & re-painted. While I had the creeper out, I changed oil & filter and greased all the zerks.

Nothing exciting, but it needed done....

Hubscrub · 09-11-2010, 07:04 PM

built the lower end of my motor for the 67

Rob H. · 09-11-2010, 09:08 PM

Started redoing the brake system on the 72. Then went and took a look at a 69 for parts, yes it followed me home tonight.

Street Lethal '72 · 09-11-2010, 09:16 PM

Pulled the bed, and the PO's in-bed gas tank off the '72.

60ratrod · 09-11-2010, 09:21 PM

I do this everyday, for the same reason. It does count

cantcode86 · 09-11-2010, 09:42 PM

I rebuilt all of the steering components and lowered the front end. Tomorrow the rear end, hopefully I'll get it done early enough the get it aligned.

Pont406 · 09-11-2010, 09:52 PM

i went to PAW to get some carb parts. They are closed now on weekends. I was a little upset about that. I position the truck right next to entry door and burned some rubber. I didn't bring a camera but here is a pick of a fender well.
