heres an update
Hey guys. First off thanks for all the information. You have all been a great help.
So heres the update. "lighten McQueen" Thats what my 6 yr old sister calls my truck does start. WE fired him up Last sunday. Only ran a few secs becasue we had no radiator. But now we do. Took the old wings and had them mounted on the new radiator. WE also have finally got the old front clip that i bought for 100.00 all took apart. It wasn't a pretty sight. So last sunday afternoon we set out to take the front end off my truck. Well let me tell ya my mom is some wiz when it comes to an air compressor and air wrench. She had that thing took off and all apart in just a little over and hour. I guess being raised on a farm has its advantages.
So this is what I done this afternoon. Took out seat and gas tank. Tank has 6 holes almost the size of a dime so I guess I'm looking for a different one.
Took a wire brush to the "new" radiator support and then painted it Black to match the New radiator. Cleaned the fender wells and painted them as well.
Set the radiator support on the truck and will tighten it down tomorrow.
Then I took the air hose to the floor board. Got all that old crap blew out of th efloor and found about 15 small holes. the bigest being just big enough to stick the end of a pen into. So what would be the best way to fix this?
Oh, ya know I have no problems with the door shutting when the fenders are off. HAHA. Dad says I cant' catch girls with no fenders.
Well thats my update. As soon as I can find the cable to moms camera I'll send you all some photo's.
Thanks
Matt
