all i can say is wow

mooseknuckles · 03-06-2011, 03:01 PM

awesome!!

73gmc454 · 03-17-2011, 07:28 AM

Made some progress on the doors , got the latches , handles , mirrors,weather stipping and windows mounted up, they close like a new truck now !

watahyahknow · 03-17-2011, 08:50 AM

they done a pretty nice jobs with the gaps between the sheetmetal , the typeshield on the frontfender is a bit eeer huge maibe another version or no shield would be nicer

mooseknuckles · 03-17-2011, 06:41 PM

lookin good man!

73gmc454 · 03-19-2011, 09:06 AM

Thanks, We worked at getting the panel gaps lined up, had to fill in some the right side rear of the door jam but everything else fit good , those are the 73-74 fender emblems I thought they looked huge to but I like the super custom part, everything body asks if I had them custom made ,Its been nice out so I been trying to get all the loose ends finished up, hopfully next week I can get the windshield/rear window installed so I can finish the interior,

watahyahknow · 03-19-2011, 11:39 AM

looking at the picture for a bit ...... i wonder how long it will take untill someone puts a taxi sighn on the roof or checkered strips down the side it looks a lot like the yelow taxies use

baclay9 · 03-19-2011, 01:01 PM

Who widened your rear wheels? Was it very expensive?

I like those emblems myself...

ps. (for the Netherlander) taxi yellow is alot brighter than this

73gmc454 · 03-19-2011, 02:38 PM

LOL , No taxi but I could maybe deal with the checkered stripe ! I bought the wheels from Wheel vintiques, I would get them without paint, it fell off just sitting in the garage after a year ,

ironroad9c1 · 03-19-2011, 04:21 PM

Love that shade of yellow, Its not too flashy, but enough to catch your eye.

73gmc454 · 03-19-2011, 04:44 PM

Thanks, I'm glad I stuck with the yellow , I like the kinda vintage look it has ,I got my blue snapper exhaust grommets ,so I've been making plastic templates for exhaust mounts today ,

DesertFox · 03-19-2011, 05:15 PM

Glad to see another yellow classic on here!

where did you get the good fenders you have? I need some new ones...front and rear...

73gmc454 · 03-19-2011, 08:20 PM

Thanks, I got some more done today, I ran the wires for the dome and cargo lights and installed the new cargo light, I'll never take them wires out ever again ! I also got the tail lights in after some grinding of the housing and the rear bumper set on ,I now see I need to find or make the rear bumper filler plates , I got the fenders from ebay about 5 years ago from a seller about 3 hours away , I paid $500 for the pair

watahyahknow · 03-19-2011, 08:26 PM

i little trick about those wires , when you take them out feed a lenght of metal wire through the channel by tying it to the end of the wire and feed it in when you pulling the wire
bend a hook on the ends so it doesnt fall in and leave it there during painting that way you can use it to pull the wiring back trough the channel

3r!c84 · 03-19-2011, 08:37 PM

nice! let me know how the bag set up works at the track

*nbpro* · 03-20-2011, 07:17 PM

truck looks nice!

73gmc454 · 03-21-2011, 08:27 PM

Thanks guys , I made a aluminum rear bumper filler panel today and painted it semigloss then mounted it up, also got the bumper mounted on for good I hope !

73gmc454 · 03-26-2011, 02:28 PM

I got the overfow tank welded up at work today !

my4by2 · 03-27-2011, 11:53 PM
