Next I built a mount for the AccuAir valve body and started plumbing the air ride

aggie91 · 09-28-2015, 09:52 AM

Looks good Mike. Your hard lines for the air system are outstanding!

**oldman3** · 09-28-2015, 09:57 AM

Mike, nice job on the hardlines, everything is looking killer...Jim

watahyahknow · 09-28-2015, 12:50 PM

looks great
might need to add a few pipeholders here and there to prevent it from vibrating and break over time but i guess you get to that later

JJ's Sierra Grande · 09-29-2015, 12:44 AM

this is how it must feel after you plumb hard lines that look that good. outstanding!!

This dude Clem of Tuba Trucks is Awesome, if you haven't had the pleasure to meet him you need to get to his upcoming party and meet him !

Clem came over last night, brought dinner and we wet sanded and buffed most of the frame.

Also picked up the Flowmaster exhaust , I had it Jet Hot coated. I cant wait to hang it all !

UKNOWME · 09-30-2015, 10:39 AM

Man you should start doing this for a living!

Throckmorton Whump · 10-01-2015, 09:36 AM

LOL, I thought for a minute you said you were wet-sanding and buffing the frame - wait, what?

LOL....yes we did

**67cheby** · 10-01-2015, 10:26 AM

Well I got a little more polishing done and started bolting up that Flowmaster exhaust last night. I am now a firm believer in V-bands and the one from Ace Race Parts are top notch and a good bargain. I am happy with my first exhaust job, I now know the things to look for and the things to do different next time but overall I am pleased with it.

Elliot949 · 10-01-2015, 12:19 PM

Ok... I am sta t ing to see another road trip 8n my future to see this in person

**67cheby** · 10-06-2015, 09:23 AM

Well here is some real progress , Eddie Jewell of Rusty Jewells Restorations in Mcalaster OK with a crew of friends has got that almost all of that Valspar Auto paint laid down on Boosted Bertha !

**67cheby** · 10-06-2015, 09:25 AM

After work last night I ran the chassis down to start assembly
