I just did that to mine, only complaints were from the other direction. My son was complaining about having to slam his shoulder into the door to get out.

Replaced my rusty reverse lights, and connected them up...to a switch, don't have it setup on my shifter yet. Had to keep the old lenses, new ones looked far too clean on my old POS. Of course, this is largely for those behind me to GTF out of the way, 'cause I can't see a damn thing back there.

Supposed to be GM light green #503 but it didn't quite turn out when mixed, even though the mixed sample was dead on... A little bit lighter and less blue than factory. I can live with it.

Started prep for a re-paint. Wow, the damage a set of bed hooks can do. I never addressed these properly the last time I painted it 10 years ago, but hopefully this time it wont be waving at me after I shoot the gloss to it.

Thanks! Kind of a nice project, did both sides, slowly getting this cab rust free

I don't remember why I took it off, but beings we're coming into summer, I put the 60-62 fan shroud back on.

Bored at work...rattle-can primer flames, just for laughs.

LOL, Thank you sir, you are too kind.
Yessir, Primer Red Oxide over flat black Rust Restorer. Not going to be using real paint anytime soon.

Largely finished the install of Dual Electric Fans this morning. I found a fan set that mostly fit, but I still needed to fab up a mount for it. Of course I thought of a better way after it's all installed, but that's how it goes...will change it later, works fine for now.

Mail Call part 2! Been waiting for these to come back into stock...

Need to clean up the casting slag on the inside a little, but overall the headers are beautiful! The Clifford requires a bit more inside work.

Those look great. Post a pic of the engine when you get them on.

Yessir, I absolutely will!
Rebuilding the Holley now...

**PORKY** · 05-23-2021, 06:37 PM

It has been over 10 years, cost too much money, and took gobs of time.
It is finally near completion and I actually drove it today.
Just a few small items left to do.
