[sjarrett71]

That right there is work to be proud of.

[Spray-Bomb]

Sweet

I really like that rear sway bar

Sorry i haven't given you a call to check out your truck.

You can come over and slack on my truck anyday of the week.


Hit tear a part or pick and pull for your booster. I'm running a 3/4 ton on mine.

Anyway keep up the good work.

if you need any bed sheet metal, I'm tossing mine so let me know

[19723DR]

Thanks. I appreciate all the support.


Capriceutah... That's cool. I would like to check out your truck When you get some time. As for the bed sides, if there not too much rust through I could use them. Thanks.


The last couple of nights I have been working on the fenders, and tonight I finished off the exhaust pipes.

[70LonghornCST]

Great job! Keep it up. It's exciting to see it come together.

[19723DR]

I really need to update my thread.
So I finished my exhaust. Still need to support tailpipes. I also painted the fenders and misc. parts. I know I could make a paint booth in my garage, but I not looking for show quality. This is just a fun driver. More pics.

Exhaust. Simple and to the point.

[19723DR]

I cleaned up the fender seals and put the emblems on the fenders. This is my favorite part because when you put the emblems on, most people don't realize how work much goes into a truck to get to this point. (Most of us do) this is the icing on the cake for me.







Today I put the grill and bumper on: test fit. I need a better grill shell, this one's terrible shape.








This weekend I going to try to paint the bed. There is still a lot of finish work left to do. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks man. I went for a small drive in the truck with the kids today, They loved it.

[19723DR]

This week I set the doors. They really need work. The drivers door is rotten in the hinges. I'm thinking of reskining the old door.

This weekend I've been mostly working on the bed. I patched the drivers side rear floor, and prepped and painted the bed.

[19723DR]

More paint. I'm really getting tired of masking.

[19723DR]

Bolted the bed on tonight. Thanks jeff. Oh man that looks killer.













I forgot to flip my pic. Fix that later.

Next weekend I'll work on the hood and cowl.

[VA72C10]

Coming along nicely!

[Clyde78]

Awesome possum!

[Slick67]

Yep, I'm jealous. Started mine at the end of last September........no where near where you're at. Truck looks great, like the restomod look. Keep up the great work!

[killer71]

Love the 2tone!

[19723DR]

Thanks for the support. I'm glad you like my progress so far.

This weekend I got my hood and cowl painted. Today with a little help from my wife, mounted the hood and cowl. I also spent some time working on the lights. Need so LED taillights. Put that on the list. We took a small drive around the neighborhood.

Snapped some pics. I know, I take a lot of pictures, but what is a build without pictures?

[19723DR]

I did spend some time on the hood cutting and polished it. It still needs a little fitment. The silver metal flake really pops in the sun.

[Clyde78]

Purdy!

[bigguy69]

wow looking good!!!

[VA72C10]

Looks awesome!!!

[19723DR]

Thanks Guy's. We share the same obsession.


Not much to tell on the truck. I did change the wheels to the 15'' and pull out the 'burb. Had some fun Weds night, I took the girls for a small drive were we put a stripe in the street as they called it.










My focus for the next month will be hitting shows with the suburban and then I will get back to the truck after that. Thanks for all the support.

seeing those 22's on your truck , makes me wish i got them g=for mine instead of the 20's, either way they both look great

[Frizzle Fry]

Just read the whole thread. You are kickin azz and takin names on this one (as usual). I think you have motivated me to do my own paint. Keep it up!!!
