Well I got the doghouse on, and wire and installed the headlights and turn signals, and started wet sanding the fenders.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is a beautiful ride you have.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Very Nice combination with the "smoothness" of the top of the engine against the perfect firewall!!!!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Thanks guys. Not sure if I'm going to keep those headlight bezels body color. Those are the originals. I went ahead and painted them to see if I like it knowing I could easily add chrome ones later. But I'm starting to like it. Once I add the bumper I will decide.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I kinda like them body color. it will look different with the bumper on too though.
nice work, as per the usual. some great ideas too.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Yep I'm leading towards keeping it the way it is. I'm not really a chrome guy. I like grilles and bumpers thats it for me.lol Once the bumper is on I will know for sure. I may end up painting the bumper body color, but that opens another can of worms like what about the rear bumper if I decided to run one. Oh there I go getting ahead of myself.lol

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

yeah, me too. I may paint the trim some sorta crisp white and see if I like it. mine is a 57 gmc so that would be a lot of chrome out front.
not even CLOSE to that point yet.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Looks like some serious bling and horsepower there...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Bam is pissing me off with that beautiful truck, we need to ban him from posting photos! :sumo::sumo:

Me too, I second the motion!!!

just passing lanes power you got to get over when the getting is good in Cali.
Wow where is all that coming from? I thought we were all in this together on this site.lol

Well the truck is green I think I’m going to name it envy.Then again that kind of sounds arrogant. So I think not

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Take it as a compliment BAM - on this forum jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery :-)

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Oh I did

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Good. :D Awesome truck there, you are doing amazing work.

Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Today I managed to get my 5 minutes in the shop. Was able to stretch it out to 2hrs and 45 minutes. Yahoo. Working on finned aluminium valve covers to replace the chromed steel ones.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Yep, my five minutes was about 20, got the floor underside all seam sealed, I AM ready to prime it now. Tomorrow, or the next morning I am thinking.

Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Yes, your truck is sweet! I'm so tired of block sanding that I can't see straight! But someday mine will hopefully look that good!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Yeah block sanding is not fun at all but the end result is well worth the effort. I blocked the heck out of all the parts you see painted and still have doors (first round of blocking done), and the bed, and tubs. I will hopefully get the doors painted and installed over the holidays.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

The hard part for me is to NOT make it look that nice! My truck on this, it's third and final build will be a driver. I have enjoyed driving my Rambler so much being it's not nice, I just drive it, I love it. When my truck was real nice I couldn't leave it places without worrying about it. I don't want to have to worry about it, just DRIVE IT. But damn it's not easy when Bam is throwing that beautiful art out here for us to see. :devil:

Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Haha, Ya. Nothing like cramming 5 minutes into 2hr and 45 min. All to common

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Didn't work ON the truck but got everything ready to get up in the morning and prime the underside of the floor. :D

Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I would think that still counts. I would give you points for effort.
;)

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

Oh yeah, I count it. ANYTHING I do related to moving the truck forward is counted. :mm:

So I set the alarm for about 15 minutes early this morning at 6:10 so I can get out in the garage and prime the underside of the floor of the cab so it can sit all morning with the heat lamps on. I am out there doing this when I look up at the clock to make sure I am not running late and it's 5:45. Ok, I think I must have not changed the clocks off daylight savings time in the garage, but darn it, I thought I did, hmm. I go in the house and it's 6:00! I messed up and changed the hour to wake me up at 5:10, geeeeez. Well, at least I don't have to rush and have time to wash the dishes that I missed falling asleep on the couch last night.

Brian, bottom of cab looks great, can't help with the loss of an hours sleep...Jim

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
 

I'm thinking it was a blessing Jim, I am putting a second coat on right now, taking my time. When I do this in the morning I am usually running like a chicken with my head cut off.
