amazing ride you got here, looks great

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Looks like you stayed for a little bit longer. How did the ride & drive go?

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Extremely short, just around the building......still no seat.

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Pics looked like they were from in front of the building behind you. I would of helped put the seat in..... Let me know if/what you need.

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Lookin good!


What else are you going to try and have done before KS?

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Lookin good!



x2!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I'm crying over here *sniff sniff*, I love it.

Keith that is perfect. plain and simple. can I park beside you.... it may make my beater look better ;)

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Very nice man, that thing came out PERFECT!

And doug, you've gotta very nice truck yourself ;)

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Doug, I was planning on you helping me clean my pig of a truck so we need to park close to one another to limit the distance to the cooler. Trust me....I take far away pictures for a reason....it's not near as nice as your truck!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Button up a few loose ends (I still have a long list) but I got the seat in it and drove it for a few miles and let me tell you...it rides NICE! I forgot I was in a 39 year old truck. It handles the road very nice and reacts to my crazy driving (avoiding pot holes) with ease. I'm very please with the new Stage II Mild drop from Porterbuilt.

Anyway, while I had the seat out I had to cover it with something since it only had an old Western Auto seat cover (you can see the springs when the door is open). I bought a large Mexican Falsa blanket and laid it on top and tucked it all in.....hides most of the ugly! If you look at the pictures then flip over and look at tcb-1 truck you will notice mine is starting to look a little like his?:lol: except mines dirty!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Keith, you guys have a safe trip up. I'll pm you my cell# tomorrow.

still, that is a sharp truck. perfect in every way.

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I forgot this truck was a 3-speed truck.
How does it run?

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

love a bagged stepper

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Well it had a problem when I first got it and I thought I had resolved it but on the test drive it returned so it's running very poorly at the moment. I'll work on it sometime before I leave and see if I can get it running better.

Me too!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

n2billet,
i am sure you have covered this before, but i am wondering how you made the paint look "shiny"?? did you "color sand" it or spray something on it?? as usual anything you do (i am sure that your "touch" extends beyond just trucks!) turns out to be great! reading you guys getting together for shows makes me miss being in dallas, i was the same way with my "truck friends" out there.....

thanks!!

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I just buffed it.......hard! No clear or sanding. It had a lot of overspray house paint on it and I wanted it see if I could get it off. It will fade back once it's out in the sun....

Thanks for the compliment......I surround myself with very talented friends ;)

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Awesome truck Keith...

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

For the most part anyway :lol: .

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I love the simplicity of this truck.....great job

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Why you got to be so sour? ;)

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

One bad ass stepper. I hate that i cancelled on tagging along to KS. When you get back from trip, remind me and i will dig out the P/S setup for the 6 banger. I will see yall in Fort Worth GGs

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Give me a shout & we can run through the list again. I'll make some time & head out there.

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

We got the truck all ironed out and running well enough to take to the KC GoodGuys show this weekend.
*It rides GREAT!*
We also got to visit with some forum members and just sit back, relax and enjoy the weather....we could have used another day just to bench race and BS to one another though....
Here's some pictures of the finished truck.....

The killer blue truck is "69chevyshort" truck...

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

Awesome, sweet, killer .......i love it

Re: Project: Stella Mae
 

I think I have a new screensaver,...
