Re: dbombs53 short box
I got the front inner fenders trimmed out, I'm gonna try to utilize the inner fender wells,..alot of cutting fitting,,,cutting fitting.. got it withing 1/4" with the truck all the way down. Painted the fender wells and the core support with a color called Hammered Black..not too sure I like it, but I wanna be driving already, so it's staying. Got my gas tank in and fuel lines hooked up. Just need fuel filters and I'll be ready to fire up..

Re: dbombs53 short box
Looking good Dom! Post that video of your engine! .. ..Jimbo, that is the 69-72 blazer tank. you can get it from any of the after market companies, it comes in a conversion to get the tank out of the cab.

Re: dbombs53 short box
Got the truck wired up and the radiator in, fired it up on Tuesday, but not very good quallity video, with open headers. During the mean time I also installed a wooden bed in my 70. I needed a change of pace.

Re: dbombs53 short box
Man I think you and DLoe (sp?) have the coolest looking 6cyl engines going on right now!
His fiesta green is awesome, but your black on blue with the 4bbl carb is to die for! Out of curiosity, how many builds do you have going on at one time? I know you have this and the dually....

I have one on both my rigs (my Tempest and the truck) but for my Tempest I keep it in the trunk for car shows.

Re: dbombs53 short box
I've been busy once again working on someone elses ride. This time it was a party bus, got it done and out of my way. On Monday I dropped off my truck and had a friend of mine make a new exhaust system. I went with 2" aluminized pipe with 12" glass packs (I think I made a mistake on the size) these things are loud and rappy. Not too happy with the sound. I'm going to roll with them for now and probably have him change them out later. He did a killer job though! Try to look past the frame not being painted, I'm gonna go back after I get everything mocked up and spray everything.

Re: dbombs53 short box
Will you have to put some type of heat shield on the bed floor to keep the bed from becoming a BBQ smoker with the exhaust so close to the bed floor? I know you will have to raise the bed floor tho right?
