Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Picked up the seat from the shop this morning, The small lines/wrinkles at the top will fade out after she been used a bit.

I'll post some pictures of the new 'bolter on the seat later.

The tan seat was the '39 DeSota he's finishing up, SWEET.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Completed the bed wood kit for my '65 Fleetside (oak). I sanded them with 100, then 220, then five coats of Minwax Helmsman (sanding between coats with 220). Then I water sanded them with 1500, then 2500 and then buffed them out. They look awesome...if I must say so myself. Pictures to follow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

That seat turned out beautiful. Your grandson seems a bit confused by it though! Always loved the 39 Dodge and DeSoto body style. Real art deco. From what can be seen it looks fantastic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Reinstalled my rear bumper and mounted up my new carb. I still have to tune it for a/f and idle, that will be tomorrow morning. Im also going to get the bench out of a 69 GMC tomorrow and installing it. The seat will be free, Im selling my buckets in my truck for $20 which is what the bench costs. I also need to rewire my tail lights

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Lakeroadster I like the Camero dash and hood scoops. Are you putting a wood cap on the dash or a padding strip? It will look cool either way...Vernski

Thanks Vernski. The plan is to make a wooden cap that screws to the dash and then put vinyl over the wood. This makes a dash pad that looks similar to factory ones that were used.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Had ordered a new top end kit to install. Was going to do most of it in with the eingine in the truck. My Dad came over to help.

Well, ended up pulling the front clip, and the motor, and am in the process of installing a new top end kit....

Clean/paint engine and front frame rails....

oh, and have to have it done by Tuesday afternoon when my wife gets back.....

so I have a block with new cam/ getting ready to paint, then install heads, and intake, the put everything back together....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Sunday: Pulled the crappy seat out that came with the truck. Removed the jerry-rigged speaker box out. Tried to mount the new seat to the stock brackets but needed some flat bar to make adapters so will git er dun next weekend. Found a 1/2" wrench, kitchen knife, 2005 high school football schdule, a pay stub and two packs of rolling papers under the seat.

Dig the supremes!

I had a set on a previous car, and sounds like I may have a deal worked out with the new owner to trade them back

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I put in the bench seat so I could sit in there and make "vroom vroom" noises... does that count? If not I worked on fabbing my motor mounts. Putting a 250 where the 235 used to be.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Pulled the engine back out!!!! as the builder used too long of a bolt on the balancer and it was not tight. Thus I have one huge POS... Starting over bought a 400 block and I get to reuse my heads intake and carb, headers, valve covers and oil pan. The rest is wiped out. Crank had .018 thrust, it took out the rods, pistons, Crank..well it had a craked key way so it was junk already. Block was not 30 over but 60 over.. He is out of biz and no one can find him..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I have my truck off the road for a few weeks to get some stuff done.

The battery is being relocated under the bed on the passenger side. I got the box built for it last night and hope to install it tonight and wire it up.
