Way easier now with the crane to remove the cab! :metal:

When you are done, you won't be kicking yourself! You are doing a great job. Any progress?

You are a madman, Gordon!!

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

I agree. I still can't believe he started over! :lol:

I want a garage with big windows in it like yours.

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

Hey guys; thanks for the kind words!

I'm busy organizing another project, but finally got this truck back in front and some work actually done on it this week.

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

Looking good...

Nice work! :metal:

I forgot where I had seen it and there it is again...nice work man!

Jammed it today....what a difference with a bit better paint gun!

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

:smoke: I can guarantee that unless someone has a mig welder and about 100 hours to spare to get it perfect, this is the only place you'll see that hood!

I thought I was finished with it last year, but I still spent a week blocking it right before I primed/sealed it this week.

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

Wow Gordon!! I cannot believe you are starting over! It looked great before! I can't wait to see updates.

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

What paint gun were you using, and what are you using now? Looking incredible!

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

I picked up a DeVilbis FinishLine gun. Nothing fancy, just a bit better than my first gun.

Coming along slowly:

Looking great......

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

It's getting there...slowly

Re: "The Ayatollah of Rusty Hole'a 1987 SWB 6.0 4L80E
 

Cool! I have been waiting to see that hood on the truck. Looks good! :metal:

Put on a cleaned up master cylinder and had two new lines made up to meet the pie proportioning valve.

What kind of brake lines are those?

Gregg's Distributing made them for me to my lengths. I don't know the brand of the hose.

You're doing an amazing job on the truck Gordon! Been following your thread since I saw the first picture on page 1! Total Transformation!

I too have bought a DeVilbis HVLP 2 Gun kit (came with two guns and 3 tips 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8) I can't wait to see how my base coat sprays with this gun! (2K Primer sprayed pretty well with 1.8 tip)

Keep up the good work! And keep taking pics! :metal:

Been lurking for a while, very inspirational build for me, I live in the rust belt, so I can relate...
