Thanks for the comments and checking out my build. Have a good weekend.

I started taking the truck apart again.





Had to strip the fenders and the pass. door.





Hopefully next time it goes together its for good.

I also started to make some new door panels. These pics. are just the start. They fit good, going to try to make some arm rests next.
Not much else for now. Have a good night.

Great build, Your going to have a real nice truck when your done.

[rmvlt1100]

Been slow with the work on the truck lately. I finished priming the fenders and the door. I finished putting together the guage cluster last night. I painted it blue and had a local powder coater hydro dip it with a carbon fiber finish.



I think that the truck is going to go back together soon with just a primer finish. My daughter is going off to college this fall and I need to start putting more money away for that tuition bill. She did get half of the tuition paid for so far with scholar ships and a little money for being recuited for softball, but ,the rest we will have to take care of.

I did a search on this forum and found a number of guys that left there trucks in primer and drove them. A larger majority of them that used epoxy primer did have any problems with them. I wanted to paint it this year but its not that bad taking them apart when it comes time for paint.

Hope everyone has a great day.
Finely get to watch some hockey today.

Looking good and like the air box. I might do mine like that. I'm doing an LT1 in my truck. Just got it running and very pleased with it. I did run my harness next to the tranny and came up under the seat with the harness and mounted the computer under the seat. Look on Jegs or Summit for grommets that will work with the harness. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/si...-100/overview/

It must be that clean thin air in Colorado that build them like that. I'd go broke if my UPS person looked like that.

If they dressed like that up here, which they dont, not even in the so-called summer.... it would still look like Yeti in a bikini.

Sometimes I really envy you guys down south !!

Thanks for checking out the build. I Checked out your build and it's looking good. I might copy what you did with your gas tank. I mounted my pump on the frame but I want to move it into the tank. I checked out them grommets and ordered one to try. Good luck with your build.

Not much happening with the truck lately. I did get both of the door panels covered. I think they look good for my first try. I had a couple of small cracks in the arm rests, so I had to spend a little bit of time fixing the fibergalss but there ready to either cover or paint, not sure what i'm going to do yet. Here is a couple of pics of one ofthe door cards. The one picture is a little rough but the others are good.









To everyone on the east coast around New York and the Boston area, Be safe it sounds like you guys and gals are going to be getting some rough weather.

door panels look great especially the arm rest,and the paint is awesomeif the smell of fresh paint dont get a guy motivated nothing will.

Thanks Flip. Well the truck is leaving Saturday for the paint booth. I decided to just primer the truck for this year. I need to save some money, my daughter is going to college this fall and not sure yet how much that is going to cost. I am going to use House of Kolor KD 3000 series colored primer. Im going to try getting the color close to the same color the truck someday will be. I am going to paint the roof the Hot Rod Flatz gun smoke gray, because I allready bought that paint. So hopefully by next weekend I can start putting in back together.

While I had some extra time, my daughter cracked her catchers helmet the other day, at a scrimmage game, and not wanting to spend around $100.00 for a new one, I fiberglassed the crack and going to give it a paint job.





Well as soon as I get the pictures of the paint I will get them posted. Tell then "Think Spring" and and have a great night.
