Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Jelous, my 283 had no side engine mounts... original and at one point painted orange. Wanted to save. Love a high rpm small block.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Saturday, too much work and not enough play, so my girl & I installed everything to be legal and went out cruzing and to dinner. Still got a lot of work to do, need to motivate to cut and buff paint.

That's so cool. My nine year old girl is looking forward to that day, too.

Yeah buddy, we have avos coming out the tail pipes over here. Don't even know what they cost to be honest, I thought they were free.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Installed a third brake light off of a late 90's Suburban and put new LED "For Off-road Use Only" bulbs in the taillights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Looks very good almost factory. Did you need to reshape it ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Great question. I didn't reshape it, but it was actually warped a little bit with some slight concave curvature that along with the slight concave curvature of the opposing metal roofline creates about a 1/8th inch gap between the light housing and the roof at it's center point, so I may try to drill aanother hole in it and add a third screw in the center if it won't ruin the light in the process (and if it does, the third brake light only cost me $7 at the junkyard and there were many more where that came from.) If that doesn't work, I could probably add some construction adhesive and then caulk it and paint it to match the roof color to create a finished look.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Been getting parts media blasted for my '64 short step PU - sprayed about a gallon of self etch over the past 2 weekends. Did it all outside - the weather has been great!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I covered the driver's side door panel in vinyl and used the Duplicolor fabric paint product to match it to the color I had previously used on the bench seat that I had pulled out of a '67 Buick.
