got some more odd ball parts i dont need today. gas pedal cover and insect screen for the radiator

earl84 · 03-06-2014, 10:01 AM

Took this pile of parts and got the front suspension mostly installed, complete with 2" drop springs. Major milestone. Please ignore the incorrectly installed steering components

Mostly just had to get it back on its wheels before I left town. Shout out to Captainfab for his power steering adapter, quality part that is easy to install.

Ordered my two barrel carb and spacer/adapter from Langdon's Stovebolt. I'm getting ready for the Good-Guys car show next weekend in Ft. Worth.

ChrisDollins · 03-06-2014, 11:22 PM

Picked up poplar boards for my bed. And the ups man brought me new bolts and windshield gasket for the new trim.

I didn't do anything to my truck today but I did go shopping. It was a successful adventure, I scored!!!!

65Gregg · 03-07-2014, 07:25 PM

I guess without pictures it didn't happen

MikeS. · 03-08-2014, 01:03 PM

Got my Burb into the shop for a couple more patch panels. I wasn't going to but decided better to do it right. Not half assed. They are borderline of needing it.

ChrisDollins · 03-08-2014, 09:33 PM

Cut my boards today and put one coat of the linseed oil on. This little project has taken over my shop!

Chris

NEWFISHER · 03-08-2014, 10:40 PM

Hung out with lt1burb and went picking at "the honey hole" scored a fan shroud, some more sail panels and script valve covers and some 62 headlight bezels to hang in the garage.

He scored an entire truck taken apart in 1980

Thanks! Its just poplar from home depot. Made my wife make the decision. I wasn't sure what I wanted and everyone I asked had a different opinion. So, I let her pic haha. Painting the original strips satin black. I think it will turn out good. Will be nice for water to not be shooting out of the bed when it rains anyhow! Haha.

**TJ's Chevy** · 03-09-2014, 04:07 PM

Was showing mine off today. lol

**TJ's Chevy** · 03-10-2014, 06:50 PM

We got a break from the rain for a week so I pulled the tarp off on mine and now two tone is back to sitting perrty in the sun with her chrome glowing away! lol

sixTsix · 03-10-2014, 08:30 PM

Today I finally made 2 decisions. #1- decided to order my disc brake conversion kit with,
2.5" drop spindles, 2' drop front springs, 6" drop rear springs, complete front end rebuild kit, and sway bar kit.
decision 2 ..order from ECE.

So when all said and done, this truck is going to be on the ground! Cant wait, as this has been in the works for about 4 months now.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

**TJ's Chevy** · 03-12-2014, 07:35 PM

Well Two Tone went an had her eyes done today! If any of ya can't figure out the difference look in my build thread.

**Mathew21** · 03-09-2014, 09:20 AM

We finally had a day above freezing so I drove my truck the parts store a mile down the road. It felt so good to drive it I kept going. I ended up putting 50 miles on her just cruising around.
