Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Jojo! You need to go, but don't stop working on your project like me because of it. I have fished every Saturday for about 2 months it seems. Won't really see any change until it gets really hot here.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Fishing is bad...but a great stress reliever.
We're a little less than half way done with the body work on the 86.....I forgot how time consuming that crap is. I promise to get something done on this project as soon as the paint is complete on the 86. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
For me working on the truck is a stress reliever.
Fishing would take too much effort for me at this point in my life (I work too much). I will say that I really enjoyed it when I was a kiddo! You mentioned killer ideas? What do you have planned?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I would like to make some more modern modifications to the interior of the cab and suspension. Not sure on specifics but I have some ideas about sound deading and softening the surroundings of driver. I have seen some really nice custom leathers....not sure that will be in the budget but like I said I have some ideas.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nothing as far as progress goes. We have been totally focused on the 86. I have been gathering parts though. I scored a complete Vintage Air setup from an Ebay seller New in the box. And a few other misc. parts. I am going to hit this one hard again. Not sure if I am going to wait until I add on to the shop though. I get sick of pulling the boat out to work on anything in my shop. Should have built it 30 or 60 or heck 80 feet wider and deeper

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Hey Mike, have you started on your LS harness? Or are you thinking about sending it in to get it reworked?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Well, I want to media blast the frame and crossmembers. I picked up one of those portable blasting carts. Just need to get some glass/sand. Then, I will paint the frame, front and rear end.
Thursday I ordered all the new front steering and suspension parts. I still need 2" drop springs for the front. Hope to hit it hard and heavy next week. Hard to believe how slow things go when strapped for cash ![]() |
