Basically, all it is, is a set of fenders off of a car trailer or the likes then welded to my fenders. i go to my local princess auto, and can pick two up for 5o dollars and they can be used aas new inner fenders or as rear wheel tubs i guess if you like.

When you painted the engine did you just use a regular automotive paint or a special high heat paint?

What brand?

it is just automotive paint, but the block is prepped really well and degreased, then epoxied and sealed and then painted with bc/cc. it is dupont epoxy and sealer and house of color paint and clear. i have done this before and it seem to hold up well.

well i spent most of the weekend and started wiring up the truck. i got the front wired up and the engine bay. i am really taking alot of time at this, soldering everyconnection, crimping and heatshrinking. running everything so it is mostly hidden. i got headlight relays and the fan relays in. i am using the 21 circuit from ez wiring. so far it is not too bad to do, a nicely constructed harness. but the instructions really are bad. as long as you have some knowledge in the wiring department you can do it. otherwise it is good. i had one hangup and got some help from the board. tomorow night will be the tail section then the interior. so far so good. getting that much closer.

Thanks, muchly appreciated. Yours is coming along nicely also.

Aslo, i have not got much done to her latley, nothing at all actually, the arm still is sore as heck, i am off work as of the moment b/c of it, sitting at home driving the wife crazy, i hate it, i am a total workaholic and can not do anything. but sit on this computer. my eyes are going buggy. anyways, i might try and take my side glass out tomorow with one arm, see how that goes over, and the me and the wife are gonna do some cleaning in the basement, aka my junk rooms. since i have nothin else to do, later guys.
