sweet, thats looks like hugger orange, the color im doing mine.

Atommik · 02-10-2013, 12:38 PM

Thanks guys! The color is really close to hugger orange. The shop I work in has uses Glasurit brand paint (owned by BASF). I picked the color out of one of the books at work, so officially it is "CMO 612". Doesn't matter what it's called though!! I'm really happy with it, can't wait to get it out in the sun (if we ever get any)!!!

And I would love to see it in-person, perhaps at the MSRA Back-to-the Fifties this summer? -Doug

Atommik · 02-10-2013, 11:24 PM

Doug, I don't know if it will be driveable in time for Back to the Fifties...
Next year for sure!!

Here's a couple pics with the fenders on...

Today I finished fabbing my fuel lines. 02 Silverado engine, 02 Camaro pump / filter, 1970 Mustang fuel tank.
Doing it again, I'd buy the hi-pressure fuel filter with built-in bracket from Speedway instead of the Camaro unit. The $25 saved on the filter got spent on parts & adapters to make the Camaro stuff work w/ my nylon fuel system. And then some.
Live & learn.
Tomorrow, I mount lines to body & chafe-proof them.

went to the storage site and sprayed some PB blaster in the spark plug holes with hopes that my motor will break free in the future...

Mocked up the bed on the frame to get the fitment on the tires. Yeah....they're to wide. Time for plan B

Tire Rule #1: The tires are never too wide. Do you have a rubber mallet? (Suggestion: Harbor Freight #69082.)

nvrdone · 02-24-2013, 09:30 PM

Finished installing all the dash hardware after I filled the radio hole & repanted the dash.
Then installed my power window kit.Now Just need to figure out what switches to use.
Next up is the bear claw door latch kit.

Progress! Keep up the good work!

crossfire84 · 02-25-2013, 07:02 PM

my new 3point seat-belt kit came today.

_Ogre · 02-25-2013, 09:37 PM

walked by my truk many times today.
can't wait for salt season to be done with

Atommik · 02-25-2013, 10:37 PM

Painted and assembled the box, tailgate and rear fenders!!

Russell Ashley · 02-26-2013, 09:25 AM

Mounted my new Coker tires. The porta-walls were fine but I needed one tire and couldn't match the other three, so bought these. They took very little weight to balance, and one didn't need any. that makes me think that they are probably quality tires.

mygirlz55 · 02-27-2013, 12:13 AM

Bought a set of ram horn exhaust manifolds for $50.
Seem pretty clean. Codes on them show to be from a '65 corvette

Thanks. Those old style Corvette wheels have been a favorite of mine for a long time.

Chassis Engineering has a bolt in IFS for the AD no cutting the frame just new bolt holes to drill.

Johnny49 · 03-02-2013, 09:50 AM

Just ordered up the all the bed sills... Also waiting to hear on some six lug Chevy wheels that I learned about from a friend. Someone is apparently ready to let 'em all go for 50 bucks! Piece by piece, we're gonna get this thing done... Only 18 days until Spring!
