Talented??? Just got lucky and found a good bodyman who could paint too. The rest of it is just sandblasting, painting, sanding, time, buyin parts and installin them.......maybe not in that order. And a few cold ones along the way to try and forget the money ya just spent. Sounds like you are going to make a quick project happen, just wait till the bug gets you and next thing ya know......show truck with a plow!!!

Well......Heath beat me to it. I have a pic in my thread with one of the seats in it. I will also have a Blazer console in it or on it so that I can hide my air bag gauges. Or at least that's the plan for now. No real updates other than my job here is done as of tomorrow, so I will be starting my own lawn and landscaping buisiness. I will be getting my carb today or tomorrow and should be firing the 327 this weekend. When I told the guy I was not going to have any money, it seemed to put a fire under him to get it done!

Thanks Heath, it is a big step from the ac'ed office to the outside. Everyone that I know that has this kind of business makes alot more than me so I figured go for it!!! Might slow my project for a month or two but in the long run it should be worth it. On a side note, Ronnie and I have been kickin around the idea of another project.......Mopar. Maybe a 70-71 Cuda or somethin cool like this.

I finally bolted down the valve covers and cut the oil filler neck down (it will be powder coated), and put some longer studs in the manifold to bolt down the carb and have enough left to mount my air cleaner cover.

Frankenstein! Freakin wires everywhere. We were attempting to get the oil pressure up, so I went ahead and put the plug wires on it. Got some Street Fire Wires that I will custom fit but I bought this cheap set just to crank it......but they will be returned cause they "didn't fit"....

hgs_notes · 05-03-2010, 07:55 AM

Everything looks great!...except the exhaust manifolds. Are they going to be black, silver or something else?

But glad you stopped by to check it out!!

*highperf4x4* · 05-04-2010, 08:18 PM

Looks simply amazing!! I looked it over some more. It will take me a while to get through the whole thing.

One of these days I might get you to draw me a patina truck from my old pics when you have some free time!

nuke1 · 05-06-2010, 03:24 PM

truck looks really good David, howver about those wires, I think they ned something, not sure what yet, but there is something. Getting that much closer day by day!!!!! Keep it up!

dukkie · 05-06-2010, 11:13 PM

That's kinda what I was thinking of too. I am going to hide everything the best I can.

Slick67 · 05-10-2010, 11:11 PM

Well here is an update of sorts, since the layoff I have purchased a 2001 Chevy and got my trailer ready for work.......also decided on a name for my business. Today was my startup date. I had a couple of jobs today and spent $53 to make $173 and helped my freind on a job that netted $200 for myself, so I can't say that it was a bad day!!! I'll get back on my truck soon!!
