Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks guys. Didn't get to use the smaller one that's in the back of the bed due to size. So we're gonna have to reconfigure the speakers that were in it. That's just the center console.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
We got the engine cleaned up a little bit. Still gotta get some wire loom, temp sending unit, a few small pieces I think should look pretty good

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Wow, just read through all of this for the first time (other times I just looked at pics). You have done all of this from a 2 bedroom apartment? I am truly impressed man! I can't see how some do it from home in a garage or shed or small shop building, let alone in a parking lot.
Looks good man.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks
Yeah, believe it or not it was done from a two bedroom apt. There were times my nephew could barely squeeze in his room. lol And I appreciate your kind words. Means a lot. Last edited by nbpro; 09-22-2010 at 06:55 PM. |

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
To look at all the junk I have here, literally a 10x10 room filled, plus all the big stuff I hide at the side of my shop... It just blows me away you and your gang can get such good results, and your budget rocks! I'd probably fall over at the thought of what you could do with a $5,000 grant (or whatever you'd call it). You'd probably have a jet engine funny truck.
I have noticed though, from keeping my eye on CL closer, there are deals to be had on stuff, and freebies if you watch and have feelers out. Loved the paint station too. Seen some darn nice jobs come out of a backyard or from under a shade tree. Just goes to figure, we have a $40,000 paint booth and sometimes get so much trash it makes you mad, but I can paint something real fast in the back parking lot and it'll come out slicker than a penguin that just jumped up on a iceberg.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Did a little work on the interior today. Think it's shaping up very nicely myself. Gotta touch up some things. Little nicks and whatnot. But that's to be done after everything is installed.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks bud, as I said before, it realy means a lot. I don't know about the jet engine. The landlord may have a problem with that. Wait a minute... Idk... there's a semi sitting out in the lot. Do I smell an engine swap coming on? Lmao.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
We ordered the new steering wheel today. Nephew picked it out and paid for it himself. I think it looks pretty cool.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
I forgot I had made this. It's kind of short. Got this idea from Keith Seymore , a board member. Lowers your rear end approximately three inches. You just drill the rivets out, and move both hangers, front and rear, up to the last bolt hole. Keith said he did this 20+ years ago, and hasn't had an issue yet. Anyways, here it is. Short, but sweet. Oh yeah, the guy doing the drilling is the little s**t that robbed the truck of the parts, so I figured he could do some of the hard work. Payback's a b***h.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
We got the steering wheel on this afternoon. Had to make a tool so we could get the last steel o-ring clamp on. Looks pretty good, I think.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks. We plan on working on the interior some more this weekend. Hopefully we can get a lot of it buttoned up. Maybe go on a road trip. See how she actually runs. Just around a long block is as far as we've taken her so far since we've gotten her back running. Trying to get pics as we do this. How is your build coming along, along with all the other ventures you've got in the fire?

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
I think my project is actually going to go on hold for a little while I think the truck is going to go into the garage for a nap over the winter and maybe the spring and summer lol. I have a little bit in store for it. LOL

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Got the bed reprimed this weekend. Worked on the engine bay some more. Didn't get to take the truck out. Found we have an alternator problem. Luckily, we have another one from my brother's old truck. It's just dirty lol. Hopefully we'll get the door panels put on before the weekend is over.
