scotts62 · 07-25-2009, 10:58 PM

Cool good job on the sheet metal

I've got the same seat belt on my tailgate. Works pretty good, but just keep some white grease in it so it wont rust.

joe231 · 07-25-2009, 11:01 PM

excellent idea

ruffrida2005 · 08-21-2009, 09:54 PM

I would get onto the Tom, it's more cost effective for you to have them fix it before base coat. .02

**Bugeyev8** · 08-30-2009, 12:20 AM

It is really good to see a shop that does quality work, Nice truck...I like the work that has been done so far !!

**ChiefRocka** · 08-30-2009, 09:39 AM

The progress is coming along nicely !!

Glad to hear you got the 5.3 going.....Did the machine shop mention what could of caused that ?

What did the Salvage yard say ?

Thanks, The machine shop said mild hydrolock caused the rod issue, the yard stiffed us, said they would give us 200 toward the repair, but no check ever came. Anyone in the LA area, I would advise do not use American truck in Fontana, the tell you what you want to hear, but don't stand by anything.

Looks great!

65ChevyC20 · 09-06-2009, 05:24 PM

Nice pics of the build, enjoying it immensely. I see in your profile that you list SoCal as your home and purchased your engine from Fontana. Do you live in the Inland Empire?

No, my builder is in Upland so Fontana is closer for him...
