Primed my hood today. It looks all splotchy but that is just the shadow of the trees. |
Just finished the drivers side fender and primed it. My goal for tomorrow is to have the cowl done, or maybe a door.
|
It was a sad day.
Sent the Title to the new owner in Florida. You may see him on here eventually.
On a brighter note... Going to pick up my 2016 F250 FX4 Lariat this weekend! |
Redid vinyl and painting rims
|
Drove it to a junk yard that was pretty much untouched for decades until recently and got all this for a sweet deal.

Primed the other fender and a door, and started prepping the cab and the drivers door. I would like to have the cab, doors and fenders all done by next week. I will devote a week or two to the bed prep.

Bled brakes, installed aluminum floor door guards(?)
Attempted to tune Carb, but truck won't start |
After a total rewire, checked all lights and started up for the first time since December. Had a puddle of fuel on the garage floor from a leaking line (easy fix). All lights worked properly except front driver's side marker light (under headlight). Left dash turn indicator stays on steady. Bad bulb? Flashers work.
Was able to pull her out of the garage and nose it in so I can start working on some motor stuff. Oh, and put the driver's door back on... |

Glad she's running! Isn't it a good feeling when your truck lights off after a long nap?
