Re: Surf Blue

69....... Great work your doing on that truck. Using the Dynamat, do you have to use a heat gun to get it lay that way or does it lay out like that automatically?

Keep up the good work.

Re: Surf Blue

Awesome build, perfect stance.... I have never seen a 18/20 wheel and tire combo that looked so "right"! What is the black stuff on the places you shaved...marker lights, mirrors? Keep it up and you will have one sick ride!

Re: Surf Blue

First: No heat gun required, just roll it on withe the roller they sell.

Second: Yeah I looked at it real good ,and decided I wasn't up for all that work. So I think I'm just going to raise part of the floor.

Third: The black stuff is called One-Step, it's a rust converter. I just wiped some on there so I'd have something on the bare metal until I got it bodyworked.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Re: Surf Blue

A little more progress. Got the new core support painted and installed, along with a new battery tray ,and new hardware. While I was at it I got the passenger side fender back on the truck ,and fitting propperly. The wiring needed some attention as well so I cleaned all that up, and got it looking much better. I'm hoping to get the driver side door and fender back on the truck soon. Either way ,I gotta get back on the bodywork so here's some more pics for now. ENJOY.

Re: Surf Blue

Subtle progress to report ,but progress none the less. First off I replaced the trailing arm bushings with new ones. So now every bushing on the truck has been replaced. I managed to do a little trading on some valve covers and scored me some black Chevrolet ones, minus the black breathers they're on the way. The billet ones I had were too difficult to keep clean, plus I've wanted these for a while.

I decided to pull the steering column out and paint it since it looked like crap. I painted it silver ,and it looks pretty good, but it will look much better when the new shift lever ,and turn signal lever show up. While I was working on the inside of the cab I decided to get some more Dynamat ,and lined the back wall ,and the inside of the pass. side door with it.

The roof has been stripped, bodyworked, and primed. It is currently waiting the second round of priming and blocking. I had to put priming on hold for a few days so I could get my new air dryer system installed at my house. I scored a Devilbiss air dryer system for FREE. It only needed 28$ worth of parts, and boy was it well worth it. After I got it installed I shot my hood hinges flat black to test it out, it worked excellent. Painting small things at my house is made much easier with it installed. That's all for now , I'll post more when I get more done.

Re: Surf Blue

Got some more work done. First ,I got the other door ready to put back on the truck ,and actually installed back on the truck. Since the door was installed I was able to re-install all of the other sheetmetal that goes on the cab. For some reason nothing wanted to line up right ,so I had to spend about 40 hours aligning everything to where I wanted it. What a PITA. Either way it's all done now. I picked up some under hood insulation and got it installed while I was at it.

The bed finally received some attention as well. It's completely bodyworked, and primed. I should have this thing painted in a few weeks, it's almost ready for the final prep. That's all for now. I'll post more when I get more done.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
