Wow! I like it. I don't care for the appearance of black transport wheels, but those look good in a light colour.

**Backpayne** · 10-17-2020, 08:31 PM

Painted her!

Consider stripping the black paint off those caps. We did a set of GMC caps like that for buddy's 67 and did the letters in red and they look fantastic.

Thanks! I used Rustoleum and mixed blue and yellow with white until I got this shade of green. I'm quite happy with how it has turned out!

Finished the catch can lines and mounted the exhaust to the mufflers....

Ooo. Oooo can you install an LS in mine next

forestb · 10-24-2020, 05:23 PM

I installed new rear shocks today. It seems to have helped a little with softening the ride quality but not as much as I would like.

**MT65** · 10-24-2020, 08:29 PM

Got a couple ahead of ya, never say never....

Where did you get your air intake

**MT65** · 11-07-2020, 02:38 PM

That is the stock system from an 04 GTO, I made the support under the mass air sensor, to carry the sensor and the air cleaner..I had it from the donor car, it works great

raylube · 11-08-2020, 03:04 AM

Getting ready for Dinos git down.Put some penetrol on and replated the bed.

**The Rocknrod** · 11-08-2020, 09:13 AM

Nice engine compartment raylube.

AcampoDave · 11-15-2020, 08:38 PM

I used my leftover exhaust parts to build an H-pipe. It was tricky since I run my pipes outside of the frame. I put it just under the crossmember for the e-brake mechanism. It works good too. It killed the resonance from the exhaust and knocked a couple of decibels off. The welds look pretty rough, but since I pulled the headpipes to do it, I filled them up with water, marked the leaks and passed over them one more time with the ol' Harbor Freight wire feed so as to get it sealed up. Not too bad for an old "poolguy" though I'd say.

I Finally Found An Original Tailgate at the Right Price... She has a Few Dents, But I couldn't Wait to Install it, All New LMC Hardware..

**MT65** · 11-21-2020, 08:54 AM

Finished wiring on back panel...

**PORKY** · 11-28-2020, 02:28 PM

2020 though not a good year for many of us, we did make some progress on the truck.
If it hadn’t been for Covid we would have finished it mid-summer.
We were able to get the following done -
• Body side molding installed
• Dash installed and all switches hooked up and operable.
• Radio installed.
• Fenders, header panel, grill, installed.

**PORKY** · 11-28-2020, 02:35 PM

And a few more things we did.
• Tailgate letters in.
• Hood scuffed and buffed and ready for installation.
• Door panels and seats upholstered and ready for installation.
• Power windows hooked up and operable

What are those seats from?
I like that they look a lot like buddy buckets.
