You had me thinking he updated the thread for a moment there. Yeah I'm curious as well as to whats going on way over yonder with him.

 

I'm looking forward to updates too. This truck is going to be sweet!

 

I'm gonna guess he's waiting for the grand finale post! He'll say he's Gotter all done and make people wait and pull their hair out then he will reveal it! At least that's what I'd do lol

 

No I wish guys! But IT RUNS! We got a ton done over the last week and the camera was lost.... but found! lol I say another week of sanding and it will be ready for paint.

















I need to get a really good camera for you guys to hear it run. You really need be there in person to appreciate it.

 

It's looking really good man!! What next on the list after it all done..? A blown 351???? Please? Lol

 

erhhh A little too late for that now

Tailgate in

 

Went for a quick spin

 

Got the alignment! Wasn't cheap and needed camber blocks to get properly back to spec but drives like a dream.



Camber block



Got the hood lined up PERFECT. You need to have a lot of patience when lining up aftermarket body panels.





Bushwackers street flares. Going the same color of the truck.



Windshield trim going same color as the truck. I absolutely cant stand the chrome around the windshield.



Cloud Rider grille inserts



They have a bunch of different designs to choose from

 

Those tiny tires.

 

Soon he'll have the nice big tires on that thing and he'll never be able to fit it back into his garage. None the less i like seeing progress even if it is a bit sluggish.

 

sluggish!? The hood took a good week to align! things were thrown and every cuss word was said x10. 0/10 will not do again. I contemplated putting the OEM hood back on about 6 times during that week.

 

lol and after the first pothole you dont notice, its not gonna be *quite* perfect anymore, and YOULL be the only one that notices lol

 

Props for sticking with it that long, I would of given up the first day and maybe come back to it when I felt like it was actually needed. Not hating or anything its just on our end of the thread things just seem to not progress very quickly at times. Course maybe that's just me being me, you just take your sweet old time and I'll just be here enjoying seeing it go back together.

 

Finished in 600 grit, med-grey sealer with Sikkens base and clear in a downdraft booth; then baked for proper curing in a drying-oven booth.

 

I love it, its really looking sharp buddy.
