Thanks guys for the comments, Robert I see you asked Chris (Skymags) about his AC bracket, mine is also ICT billet they make a lot for the truck engines. I got mine to clear my coil covers, just didn't know it would kick out that far...Jim

**8man** · 12-03-2021, 11:12 AM

Thanks Jim. I like your solution, even though you had to repaint, it looks custom.

Jason 56 · 12-03-2021, 11:46 AM

I think it looks great! Remember if it were easy everybody would be doing it. That’s what makes your truck so awesome. Keep up the great progress. Now I’m motivated haha

reaper71 · 12-03-2021, 09:13 PM

Hey Guys, I take full blame for the goof up on the A/C mount.
That mount is very nice however it is wide and would be better suited for a C-10.

That being said I used the Kwik Performance kit Item# K10291 $227 it brings it up higher and tighter (preventing cutting the inner fender)

Mark

No blame,I just wanted something to clear the coil covers...Dad

**oldman3** · 12-04-2021, 12:42 AM

Well here's todays update. Mark sanded the filler down and sprayed the primer.
I sanded down the primer with guide coat.
After the final sanding Mark sprayed the teal paint. Will let this dry till Monday, then wet sand with 600 and paint again.

Here's some pics...Jim

Dave_The_BMXER · 12-06-2021, 02:09 AM

Hey I've played that inner fender game too!

Sometimes metal must move...

Lookin good!

Thanks Dave, yes sometime it has to be done. Nice job on yours...Jim

**oldman3** · 12-07-2021, 12:49 AM

Little update. On Sunday Mark wet sanded the inner fender with 600 paper and resprayed the teal paint.

This morning he wet sanded with 2500 to 3500 and buffed out the paint, it looks great (1st pic).

Then we installed the front clip for the final time. Bolted everything back, hooked up wire to all the lights, heater hoses, and misc. items. Still waiting parts but getting real close to fire it up...Jim

**8man** · 12-07-2021, 09:15 AM

That really is pretty! Great work you two.

Jason 56 · 12-07-2021, 09:37 AM

Wow, that looks like it was built that way from the factory. You and mark make quick work of a difficult endeavor. You guys do excellent work together!

**Rickysnickers** · 12-07-2021, 10:57 AM

You two do some nice work

Tempest67 · 12-07-2021, 11:05 AM

looks great, another job that 99% of people have no idea what had to be done.

you guys do nice work

**youngrodder** · 12-07-2021, 11:09 AM

Looks like you were never there.....Nice modification/repair.

Marc

Thanks everyone for the kind words. In this case all the work was done by Mark, all I did was sand some primer. We still work as a team, but my part is smaller now...Jim

**joedoh** · 12-07-2021, 10:45 PM

I would appreciate the heads up in advance when you are doing work on your truck so I can buy some stock in paint

beautiful work mark and jim!

**oldman3** · 12-08-2021, 12:31 AM

Great day today. After a few small items taken care of we started the engine.
Fired up right away and sounded great. Only ran for a little while, still waiting parts to finish up the radiator hoses,etc. I still need to run power to the elec. fan, then make up new hoses for the AC.

Didn't receive my shifter yesterday, called today and they said it will ship 12/15, hope so...Jim

**youngrodder** · 12-08-2021, 10:08 AM

That first start up is always a big check mark. Nice progress.

Marc

Yes it is, let's you know you didn't screw things up

Thanks...Jim

Tempest67 · 12-08-2021, 10:45 AM

it's amazing how the sound of a motor running makes all the work, money, sweat, dirt, grime, and sometimes blood, all worth while.

congratulations on the progress

Isn't that the truth, thanks...Jim

**oldman3** · 12-09-2021, 12:36 AM

Finished up all the wiring today, including fan. Filled trans with fluid, started the engine, Mark put it in gear and let it fill up the valve body, etc.. Got new AC lines cut to length, but waiting for more parts. Installed wheels and its back on the ground. Good day...Jim
