this was actually yesterday:

Caravan with several buddies to a local show

And today i sprayed my wrap around cab white

OrrieG · 11-12-2012, 01:43 AM

Resumed work on the gas fill tube. After weeks of trying to find an easy fix, got out the hack saw, hole saw and welder. Hour later think I have a workable solution.

Got the alternator bracket & alternator installed. Bolted up the tensioner to the block. Discovered that I don't have the necessary bolts to mount the PS pump, A, and B that it's going to take another $50 + bolts to finish mounting accessories to the Vortec.
Next go-round, I'm buying a complete engine. Nickeled and Dimed by Ebay...

Sin, You could post pic's of your truck geting groceries and I would stare at it. Picking up a cool little chop is bad azz too!

I was up til 1 am wrestling seat covers onto the frames. Fingers are sore from pulling and hog ringing!

haha thanks Fisher !.. My wife has actually taken the truck to buy groceries a few times. I keep asking her to take pics in the parking lot but she just rolls her eyes .lol...

Man i know what you're fingers are feeling. I volunteered to help a buddy with his seats and it wasn't easy. We were so tired by the end of it that we didn't even drink the 6 pack we bought to celebrate.

Had to be awesome for the people able to see it at the gas station. Old work horse with a bobber in the back.

What are the specs on the bike?

focusedontheprize · 11-13-2012, 01:08 PM

Alternator bracket just arrived. Packing up for the commute on Friday. Finishing the fuel lines, installing the new bushings, and situating the clutch/brakes are the goals. Maybe stay in Saturday and work on the seats.

It was definately exciting driving down the highway and getting thumbsup. This is my first long distance haul with my truck. She did great. I thought the 600lb bike would take a toll on my rear suspension but it held up real well. The bike is a 1400cc Intruder. Motor was rebuilt a few months ago. The previous owner ran into a financial bind and had to part with it. I plan on laying a custom paint job on the tank and reworking the rear fender. Other than that she's ready to enjoy.

Fruits of my labor last night

Sin7 · 11-13-2012, 06:06 PM

the seat turned out great ! well done

mknittle · 11-13-2012, 11:45 PM

looking good! those covers can be "fun" if they aren't warm enough!

agnes the dog · 11-14-2012, 12:56 AM

Got some new old wheels - tires are junk. Got a lot of scrubbing and polishing to do. Here's one that just went through a quick scrub/polish. These have always been my favorite wheels, even as a little kid... Found them in the 6 bolt pattern so I don't have to mess with the 5 lug swap. Feeling pretty good right now!

I know you are flipping the truck but I would rethink the fuel filter. Engine compartment does look nice.

Wasn't going to post, but I think I turned out great and I've had beer. Fenders and grill are on for the last trial fit! Excuse the tape, grill has to come out one more time for edge sealer and the high side A/C line. This is the first time the finished fenders and grill have been on so you could look at the stance.

NEWFISHER · 11-15-2012, 07:32 PM

That engine looks goooooood!

renegade8720 · 11-15-2012, 07:43 PM

Very nice looking truck! Got to love those big blocks!

rollenhard · 11-15-2012, 11:29 PM

Congratulations! Just my opinion, but I like the yellow. I don't think it's too much. But hey, not my truck. Looks great!

Ordered aluminum BBC heads, roller rockers, pushrods, all my tin, and Chevelle headers..

OrrieG · 11-16-2012, 02:28 PM

Cleaned the shop in anticipation of storing the chevelle now that it is starting to rain and snow. Will have more help soon, daughter and teen grandkids are moving in for a while so she can pay down some debt and get a house.
