Thanks for any info you can kick my way, and I love the pics! After your initial story I think you will have a greater sense of satisfaction once this truck is done!

THANKS MCMURPHY!!! Fenders are from Classic Industries, the fitment was good but passenger side had one small ding on it. If i were to describe the ding I would have to say it was very minor. Maybe smaller than 1/8 in. and looks like it came from the inside out. Kinda like a pimple looking dent. Wouldnt stop me from ordering from them again.

Thanks for the input man, I really appreciate it!
Seems a lot of the guys that have used the CI have been very happy with the body products.

Though it will probably closer to Spring before I am at the reassembly stage and will be ordering this stuff, but it is never too early to start collecting information on all this!

I am going to head down to the garage here in a minute and get going on my project too!
Can't wait to see what you get done this weekend too....

Mad Rods · 11-25-2011, 08:40 PM

Not a whole lot done today. Pulled upper control arms off & Factory drums and spindels. Plan on buying all new ball joints tomorrow and drilling out spindel arms to accept rack & pinion. Hopefully pics Tomorrow if i get any progress

Mad Rods · 11-28-2011, 08:18 PM

Effin Autozone ordered me 2 different kinds of balljoints. One old version 1 new version they claim. Since they will be exposed I sent one back to get a matching pair.. Project at a stand still untill 2 days from now...

protrash64 · 11-28-2011, 11:37 PM

Thanks Dino!!!!

O yeah as far as that radiator (The one you run) he quoted me $400 shipped to the door. I might hold off on it till i get close to cranking the engine.

kart34 · 12-04-2011, 06:20 PM

Way Cool.....

McMurphy · 12-04-2011, 11:24 PM

Man you have got to post a vid of when you fire that engine up!
That thing looks killer.
Awesome, and the turnbuckle tensioner for your altenator is too cool, though after looking at it more closely I would probably safety wire it to keep it from loosening itself...

Still looks cool as

Cool to see an update.....dig the toolbox

. Now for the parts question; where did the battery hold down come from? Thats cool for the Optimas.

Mad Rods · 01-17-2012, 12:15 AM

its a Poly Performance battery tray for the 34/78 style optimas. its pretty cool you can mount any which way you like or weld in place.

protrash64 · 01-17-2012, 12:17 AM

Thanx Mad...I like how the clamp fits the top profile of the battery. Good choice.

kart34 · 01-17-2012, 08:46 AM

Battery box is very cool... pinstriped tool box ... priceless !!!!
