What trim kit did you get? I have a two tone 76 that I need a trim kit for. I did a replacement fender that needs the wholes drilled. How did you attach this trim? thanks

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Kit is from Brothers. So far it is held on with double sided tape and a couple extra screws. My truck had no trim before and drilling all those holes seemed like a disaster. So before we did that we are trying this method.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Very nice great colours

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Looks great!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Very nice ride !!! Awesome color combo. Looking at your beautiful interior makes me want to replace my carpet now. Mine is in good shape for 38 years old, but is getting a bit seedy.;)

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Turned out great!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

damn FROM NOTHING TO BAD ASS.. lots of hard work. great job, AWESOME truck.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks for all the compliments. Means a lot! I'm hoping to go LS and bag it next year.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Nice job, turned out great!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

I did not notice you'd shaved the drip rails and removed the fender turn signals until now. Turned out beautiful - nice work!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thank you!

Thank you also! I shaved the mirrors, front fender turn signals, drip rails and bed stake pockets.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Very nice truck Mike....saw a pic of it on streetrodlife.com in the article for Draggin' Main Street in Clovis....very nice event it reminded of when I was stationed at Ft. Bliss TX in the late 80s and a few of us would drive over to Las Cruces NM to cruise in our mini trucks...they had one of the best cruise scenes around in those days......again nice truck.........:metal:

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks! That's cool to see it online. It was an awesome event. They said 8-10k people. That's a lot considering our town is only 35k population.

Laying some sound deadener and running wires.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

I really like the contrasting interior colors! Very nice!!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Really nice job, truck looks great.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks, I wasn't sure I liked it at first but it's growing on me.

Thank you!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

So how did the rebuilt vent windows work out? With all the discussions about whether or not they would still have wind noise, what are your thoughts now that you have them installed?
BTW, the truck is beautiful!!!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

The interior colors you picked give it a much more modern look!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Minimal driving at higher speeds so far so cannot give a real assessment yet. I am very please so far though!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Those shades were not on purpose but they are growing on me so THANKS!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Dang, this truck came a long ways. Looks great! Can't wait to see it bagged!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thanks! Me too. Hopefully sooner than later.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Looks great! Did you buy a new seat cover, dash pad, and door panels, or rework the ones you had?

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Had seat upholstered, door panels from LMC and brand new GM dash pad found at a dealership in Missouri.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Really nice truck, dude. Great stance, just enough rake.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thank you very much! I just wish it could get done with the audio so I can enjoy it some before winter hits and I tear it apart again. (Lol just kidding, kinda)

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

I really really miss the orange and white color combination I had on my 1976 Julius project. Maybe Mr. Green Jeans needs to become Mr. Orange Jeans...

Sweet transformation by the way!!!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thank you for the compliment!

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

That is one very good looking, clean truck that you built. Very nice work.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Thank you. Still have some things to finish and already have some paint repairs to make.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

good looking truck any more pics of the seat

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

You do very nice work! Really enjoyed your build and will tag along if you do the LS and bags.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

What drop did you do?

David

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

McGaughys spindles and flip kit. Belltech springs and shackles.
I ready had the Belltech stuff from another truck I had planned to build. I added the McGaughys stuff when I started this one.

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

So its a 5/7 drop?

Re: 80 Scottsdale build
 

Yeah pretty much.
