Checkin' in on the dust cloud!

Wish I could find the Smart brand materials; local body supply wants 65 bucks for a can of Rage gold!! Summit has for 46.......

Somebody making some extra dough somewhere??

The truck is looking really cool; Im about to be doing some of the body stuff soon, too.

McMurphy · 01-14-2012, 03:18 PM

Yeah man, you are looking real good! Can't wait to see more video from this build !!

baggedbigblock · 01-19-2012, 11:05 PM

Thanks guys, its freezing cold out but getting some work done!

Working on the sheet metal. Lining up the bed which is in 4 pieces!!! Buying a propane heater to get this thing warm enough to paint by next weekend. Running brake lines and fuel lines Sunday.

Thanks Fed Ex

Propane heater , you need a big furnace ... Is there any insulation in your building???

baggedbigblock · 01-20-2012, 05:52 PM

its insulated but no heating. I just need 60 degrees to paint.

BTW I think the Mrs. is going to be upset!

protrash64 · 01-20-2012, 08:58 PM

.....hurry up and get it out in the garage!!!

At the boxes in the office, or the amount paid for what is in the boxes?
I agree with protrash, stash them quick!!

baggedbigblock · 01-21-2012, 11:15 PM

Haha. She said I see there are some new parts for the truck, so we're are you taking me to dinner tonight.

Sick today so no welding or painting. I did get my door panels wrapped. Next is the burlap shift boot but I want to wait until I get the floor pan sorted. I am from Virginia and my fiance is Columbian so I like the his and hers concept. Plus w the head cold stuck at home I worked on my C10 model.

My handmade Dia De Los Muertos Mask I make a new one every year.

baggedbigblock · 01-24-2012, 11:46 PM

Motor is back in. Steering rack is in. New Gilmer drive belt, There is a 2 credit card clearance between the frame the steering input, the alternator, and the steering rack, and header. It is insane how tight it is packed in there.

Rear bumper final height

Alan's Classic · 01-26-2012, 12:05 AM

Looks like a pretty solid build. Your making some nice progress.

I really like the door panels.

baggedbigblock · 01-27-2012, 09:41 AM

Thanks, I'm pushing myself really hard to finish by the 3rd week in feb. we shall see

Just checkin' in again; cant wait to see the bed together. I love that accessory drive, too.

baggedbigblock · 01-28-2012, 10:11 AM

So I did a bit more yesterday. Everything is finally stripped. Still working on new sheet metal and welding that up, finished the firewall and the master cylinder setup. Made a short walk around video. Ran brake and fuel lines. Monday I am installing the steering shaft and end links, and air bag compressor and switches.

For now.

Were I have to route the steering rack

protrash64 · 01-28-2012, 10:23 AM

Cool vid BBB!!! Man, you must have some sore hands strippin' the truck like that!!

I'll be sanding today, myself........

baggedbigblock · 01-28-2012, 05:09 PM

My hands are raw, but thankfully 8 hours of holding an angle grinder I can't feel how sore they are!

Build looks good so far man! I've actually never seen an accessory drive like that. I dig!

Ru5tyNut5 · 01-29-2012, 02:42 PM

nice project, if only I could find a bit of motivation to work on mine.

VeronikA · 01-29-2012, 04:51 PM

Bad ass project! Love your progress pics and hangar! Just so cool! Like the way you pimping it too.. your own style. Sweet sticker and door panels! And totally love your lil model! Too many cool things in this thread. Keep it up! Im sure we all really enjoying your thread!

baggedbigblock · 01-30-2012, 11:47 PM

Few more things sorted. Running wires with new harness. Painted grill and bumpers white with matte clear coat, it looks great in person. I tried to get the pics to show the sheen. Fabricator is sick so bed isn't done and new rockers aren't in yet. Putting the accuair in next week and the steering linkage with 3 univeral joints was mocked up today. I will make final installations next week.

OK so I finished all the inside of the cab stripping. Took the dash and inside door panels and jams to bare metal, Sanded down the cab and roof. I am OVER body work. Put the new dizzy on and am waiting for the carb/throttle cable/kickdown cables to come in. Steering links are 50% done and the bed is locked in for the center section to go back in. Thanks to uncle sam I have ordered all of my final parts and will be hopefully moving forward with great progress these next 2-3 weeks.

Shift linkage is done

baggedbigblock · 02-07-2012, 09:02 PM

Ok so the bed is 75% done. Its lined up and welded in. I need to do some metal massaging at the bottom area but everything is going to be perfect. Steering linkage is done. Lots of parts in the mail right now but by next Friday I will have everything I need parts wise to get this truck painted and running. Here are a few more pics. It sits lower than I thought.
