Aaaaaa. Had some trouble with that hood. The tires came blastin through so I left it. I have an idea of how to solve the problem right after I fix this bumper. See what you get when you show off at a show. Now I might as well took 200 bucks and burned it. Stupid move! Or wrong switch I still am pissed!http://myspace-132.vo.llnwd.net/0108...80544132_l.jpg

Re: Dragndoorhandle
 
Interesting thread. I am getting ready to start into my truck. I was planing on bagging the truck but i don't need it slammed on the ground. A couple inches off the ground would be plenty. Do you have any comments or things i need to address before i do it all myself. Or do you know where a article or website that explains all the steps one must do. Or how bout a list on what to buy. Nice truck. I have always been a fan of these trucks. Nothing sicker than a classic slammed!!!

When 7deuce throws a valve, he THROWS a valve. He also managed to chuck some piston rods and spit out a flywheel too.

Re: Dragndoorhandle
 
XXL knows his SBC parts. Thoes are valves on the top. Im getting the rear frame and tank striped tonight I will post some pics when its done.

abadsvt 08-25-2006 05:13 PM

Re: Dragndoorhandle
 
What kind of gas tank did you use? Did you have to do anything different to make it fit? How many gallons of gas? Can you see it when you are at driving height? Sorry for all the questions. Nicely done!!!!!! I think i will be asking you some questions about your rear suspension when i get a little closer. Sweet truck!

That is pretty sweet I like the striping, but i just gotta ask..................................
how do you do so much work to the frame and such and leave that rearend all fugly and dirty like that.

7deuce 08-26-2006 09:17 PM

Re: Dragndoorhandle
 
I had the gut stripe the chrome "Joe Dirt" rear end cover and also the half shields for the head lights. That rear end and bed sides still look like SH!T. I need to get to the guy who did the tranny tunnel to hook up the bed. More pics tomarrow.

youre so lucky having a nice girlfriend who actually helps pay for the project , usually they fight the man all the way from spending it on anything other than herself :hm:

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...stripeclip.jpg By the way, The girl friend shut the money flow off. The new back bumper did it. And having the guy putting on the stripes while I was putting the new rear bumper on....... whell lets just say there was a mushroom cloud over my house that day. Cant wait until I tell her how much the paint job is going to cost!

Re: Dragndoorhandle
 
quit moochin' and get a job or she's gonna drop you like a bad habit.

Nice work on the truck, love the striping. I hope you keep that theme when you get it painted.

watahyahknow 08-28-2006 05:37 AM

Re: Dragndoorhandle

Re: Dragndoorhandle

when you notch the cab for the driveshaft did you rebuilt the rear cab brace or just install the new tunnel and weld it in? would i need to do that at all?

7deuce 08-29-2006 05:17 PM

Re: Dragndoorhandle
