Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

The cleared panels look more 'aged' to me....like them either way.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

I put the front clip back on, there is no way to retain inner fenders with the wheel offset I am running. I etched and primed the entire cab and doors. All that is left is to paint the front clip and hood. The truck will need a bit more filler work and block sanding before final paint, but that will be at a cleaner booth 30 min away with high quality paint guns and DA's. Forgot the keys so I couldn't try and start it, later next week I will.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

Got the door cards in for now. It will be a month or so until we get the new fenders and cowl so it will be primer for now.


Cut down the stock tubs to cover the wheels, I will make them level and then lay the wood floor down


Radiator is in.


Tail lights wired

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

A little more work done. I finished the wiring but I don't have a battery yet, waiting on an Optima to come in. I used a motorcycle battery to test lights and gauges. Everything works on the 1st try!!!!!!!! I have some poor grounds I didn't sand down the epoxied frame on the ground points. 1 headlight and 1 taillight are dim. Once I get the battery in I will crank it over. I need to get 2 new front fenders, a windshield, finish exhaust and install the driveshaft. Brakes are bled.





The only sticker I'm putting on the truck. I love Dia de los Muertos.


lights!!


New rear window trim to be installed so neglect the over spray

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

So some of these are out of order. My good friend stopped by from Colorado 2 weeks ago to take so pics with his fancy pants camera and editing software. Here they are, some are of the shop cars too




















Here is the first start up vid. I like the cam so far. no mufflers just open headers now.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

Right on man, you have got to be stoked !!
You are almost there and just in time for summer crusin !!

Guessing that is you with the bigass grin and the thumbs up?
Always cool to put a face to the build after a while LOL.

Congrats on running wire! I am contemplating wiring soon too. I like your connectors and heat skrink, makes a real smooth and better looking than the crip on connectors IMO.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

Thanks McMurphy,
Yup, thats me w the thumbs up. It is perfect timing to be out and about cruising this thing. I agree the wiring takes time but knowing its done right makes me feel so much better, I dont want to worry about connections getting loose. I also enjoy hiding the wires, they are all tucked into the frame rail and out of site.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

All for today, Port-O-Walls came in. Cut my self pretty good so my hand are useless. I will be back out monday to finish the passanger door and install the driveshaft. I have to tweak the steering rack because 1 universal joint is hitting the motor mount. I also have to chase down the turn signal issue and then do a shake down run. Once I leave the shop I will save $$ and get a new cowl and fenders, paint the truck and reinstall the glass.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

This blows, Since I have a lot of views they make you upgrade to photobucket Pro for $25 a year. I need to find a better way to share my pics. Any tips?

I just upload mine from my computer to the site.
Seems to work just fine.

I never trusted 3rd party photo storing sites since I read the fine print on Yahoo's old geocities, which said anything uploaded on geocities was then considered property of Yahoo and could be used in any way they saw fit.

Fine print like that makes me an edgy and untrusting fellow.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

Lots of little things. I welded and filled the holes in the bed. Fixed the binding universal joints that where binding on the steering rack. Finished all little odds and ends, added more grounds. Reprimed the truck. I forgot to take out the port-0-walls to install.



Brass knuckles mounted. Old radio template is being welded in tomorrow.


Fiances door panel is installed

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine

I picked the name before I got the truck. I was going to get a big block but I needed to spend $ in the right places. I will have this truck for life so I'll upgrade later. Big block and a weiland are definitely in the plans. I'd rather have a sbc, and bags, and rust repair if you know what I mean!
