Looking good. I remember when I put the front fenders back on after having them off for a long time, it feels good. I'm getting ready to pull mine back apart to fit the LS into the frame.

Truck is looking good. I feel your pain with all the rust repair you have done. When you installed the front crossmember did you move it foreward? If so how much?

I love it to for the price it is hard to beat. I want a plasma cutter and have been looking at them but I can live without it for now I'd rather get parts for the truck.

Here is the rear shock mount that i moved to make room for the gas tank

jimig1 · 02-21-2012, 12:55 AM

More of the rear shock mount

jimig1 · 02-21-2012, 12:58 AM

Got the rear cross mounts moved around to get my gas tank installed and a pic of my serp setup I got at a swap meet this past weekend

jimig1 · 02-21-2012, 01:00 AM

Here is the cake from my surprise birthday party

Kim57 · 02-21-2012, 01:55 AM

Looking good. Neat cake.

jimig1 · 02-22-2012, 11:56 PM

Got the gas tank install done and started making the seat mount

jimig1 · 02-25-2012, 03:10 PM

Finished the seat bracket and mounted the go pedal. Then I wire wheeled off the last of the bondo I found.

jimig1 · 02-25-2012, 03:13 PM

Cut out the rot and made a replacement piece.

jimig1 · 02-25-2012, 03:15 PM

A little adjustment and it will fit good

Kim57 · 02-26-2012, 01:01 AM

Nice job on the repair.

Column mount

Kim57 · 03-03-2012, 10:20 PM

Did you fabricate those shock mount plates or buy them?

They came with the kit I bought. They'd be easy to make though.

jimig1 · 03-06-2012, 01:40 AM

Got the steering hooked up and my serp belt setup mocked up. And here are a few pics of my carb before.

jimig1 · 03-06-2012, 01:42 AM
