Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Found this on a shelf in the garage, sometimes stuff gets lost! Anyway, I stuck it on the engine I don't have running yet and I think it's gonna work with just an extension of the mounting stud.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I had old masking tape before covering the water pump holes before I put this kit on. And I usually cut a large trashbag and wrap it over my engine when its just sitting in the garage.

That is as close to perfect as you can get.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Bolted down the running boards and started cleaning and repairing the grille. In addition to dents, the grille had been painted white over the chrome, and a torch had been used on it, burning away some mounting holes. I can never make it pristine, but it'll be fine for a daily driver.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Looking good Miracle!
I did next to nothing, don't even think I made my 5 minutes. Just looking at the frame and what I need to do for the front crossmember. A little mod to the frame before I have it powder coated, then the crossmember will get all the adjustment to fit the frame. Brian

I dropped the truck off at the painter's this morning. The color will be like the top of the dash, '63 Chev Laurel Green. The roof will be '14 Lexus Bright White Pearl. Turnaround time will be about 3 weeks.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I am heading off to a birthday party so I got out and beat my butt in the sun grinding, sand blasting, sanding, Roloc discing the drivers door ready for primer on the inside. I of course found another spot that needed to be welded but NOW it's ready for primer. LOL
I rode my bike to the paint store to see if they had a part for my ND900 (they didn't) and I had to get a photo. You see, my shop for 13 years was just a block away from this store. I rode my bike there every day to get supplies for the shop. Rode, this bike, a 1939 Columbia that I built in that shop. I just thought it was cool that after all these years (closed the shop over 20 years ago) here I was doing the same thing. Brian

Got the AC/defroster mocked up and mounted. Lucky for me I don't enjoy a radio in my trucks.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Repaired the torch-damaged mounting holes in my grille, then painted the rearward part of the cross bars black. It was well worth the effort; I love how it makes the bars appear to float in space.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw rollenhard's truck (the green over black one above). I stinking hate that guy! Of course envy is the ultimate compliment, right?

Leaving it untrimmed also helps prevent the edge burning away when welding.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Break time, got the back and inside of the doors primed.
Got some more cleaning of the back of the dash and cowl, found that the hinges for the cowl vent are rusted solid, crap. And of course, found another patch I have to weld in. Can I make this clear, I will NOT say I am done welding on this cab EVER, after it's primed, painted, assembled, I will STILL not say I am done welding on it. Brian
