Wenol, good stuff

CAL 58 GMC · 10-18-2006, 01:11 PM

Mike, your truck is super nice!! I love the way the motor turned out. Great job!

onetonk5 · 10-18-2006, 03:18 PM

looks like you moved to the big boy shop.......looking killer i need to stop by and check it out. less than 2 weeks ago that hood was in less than perfect looking.....all you realize this guy is painting this himself in pieces over time.....this is going to be one clean ass ride.

caino59 · 10-18-2006, 04:39 PM

wow, awesome truck man...

i too cannot get over those valve covers...SLICK.

i also really like the bed, shortened with the rear step cut off

i think it would look better if you did the rear wheel opening like the front fenders - but that would take some work...

mike nutt · 10-21-2006, 07:26 PM

got a little more done this weekend.painted and installed the grille and got the front lights wired up, also got the bumper on . also got the one piece door glass installed( pain in the a** ) also installed the ARLIN NESS mirrors . heres a couple of pics.

Hey Mike,
Where Did You Get The Cluster And Guages From? Looks So Cool.

mike nutt · 11-07-2006, 01:18 PM

6T9GMC , the cluster with guages came from a company called NOLIMIT ENGINEERING. i upgraded to the electric speedo.the glove box also came from them also. how's your truck coming. hope to have my bed completed and painted soon.

Thanks,
Next Step For Me Is The Floor And Firewall Rust. Pretty Scary On The Firewall Part. The Wire Gutter Or Channel Is Rusted Out All The Way Across. Trying To Figure Out If Fixing It Or Getting Another Cab Would Be Better. I Just Wish I Could Wake Up And Be As Far Along On Mine As You Are On Yours. It Looks Good. Keep It Up!
