N2BOOST · 05-23-2012, 07:22 PM

Thank you guys it turned out really nice! I am trying to get a few guys together to help me hang body panels this Saturday. I'm going to try to get it together as fast as possible, however I have 2 major projects this truck and my Plymouth Laser and they are coming together at the same time and on top of that we have started a new business and it takes up 60 hrs/wk and I'm also helping my mom remodel her house. So needless to say when I want something done I get it done and have a hard time waiting on others LOL. After it's together the body shop will polish it and make it even nicer.

mud.man.rj · 05-23-2012, 08:17 PM

Just saw your build thread, very nice project, learned to drive a standard in that year of truck, not as easy as todays manual trans for sure. Very nice blue, good pic, keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing. Rick.

N2BOOST · 05-23-2012, 10:46 PM

Thank you Rick I appreciate your comment.

n_elsod · 05-27-2012, 09:18 AM

N2 what color is that gm 37u? Check out my 4x4 with I think the same color.

mjensen · 05-27-2012, 11:29 AM

I hope you're out working on getting this thing together!

It's looking very nice so far!

I hate to say it but mine is Ford Kona Blue. I can't remember the paint code right now but it is very close to yours for sure. BTW your truck looks very nice! We will have very similar trucks

N2BOOST · 05-27-2012, 09:28 PM

The doors are on and the gaps and latches are perfect. I spent the last few days getting everything ready to put back on. Tuesday we are going to put the rest of the front clip on, Wednesday I plan on installing the heat/sound deadener and seat. I'm going to try to go up there tomorrow and get a head start on a couple things. Painter is going to polish the dash before I start putting the gauges back in.

It turned out really nice, however I cannot wait to get it together and see it wet sanded and polished!!!

N2BOOST · 05-27-2012, 09:31 PM

n_elsod I even plan on making diamond plate running boards and painting them black so our trucks will be very similar.

n_elsod · 05-28-2012, 06:36 AM

N2, I used Line-x on my running boards as well as the inner fenders. Has a nice look and deadened the sound of the fenders. Plus it's guaranteed for life not to chip. Take a look. I also looked at he Kona Blue but changed my mind to this one. Your truck will look awesome when its done.

N2BOOST · 05-28-2012, 07:20 AM

Linex does look good on the inner fender! I rubberized undercoated my fenders but left the inner fenders smooth. I find it hard to clean Linex should it get dirty is the only reason I opted from using it on the inner fender. It is all personal preference, however it does look nice.

N2BOOST · 06-02-2012, 11:43 PM

Here ya go guys.... I have been hitting it hard that last 2 days!!

Mr-Jack · 06-03-2012, 12:01 AM

damn...now that is a sexy work of art...but just a quick question...why are your white letters out on your tires?

1985-GMC · 06-03-2012, 12:07 AM

Man that thing looks awesome!

PS: White letters are sweet!

RINC · 06-03-2012, 12:23 AM

Wow ..... you done a good job.

Thank you!! The wheels and tires came from a friend. We did some trading and that's how he had them. I'm hoping to be able to buy a new set of wheels/tires this fall. So basically they are what I had for now, though I do not think the white letters look bad either.

I still have to make some OEM style running boards out of steel tread plate and wrap the edges to give them a OEM look. They will be black and will balance out with the inside of the bed well.

RINC · 06-03-2012, 01:36 AM

Black running boards should accent the blue real nice.

mud.man.rj · 06-03-2012, 02:30 AM

Your truck is really coming together nicely, white letters are fine, haha. It is nice to se something different for a 4x4, the round fenders are so cool, great build.

N2BOOST · 06-03-2012, 11:53 PM

Thank you mud.man
