butternut1972 · 12-27-2011, 03:48 AM

Cleaned and painted parts, Install my door latches,polished stainless bolts. Picking up the maple for the bed tommorow.

bigpaul · 12-27-2011, 09:55 AM

Yesterday I pulled the hood and front fenders off. Man those back bottom bolts are a pain! I dont know how I will ever get them back in, there must be some trick. Anyone know how to make that easy?

Dads Worktruck Jr. · 12-28-2011, 05:47 PM

Did a little cleaning and painting on the frame today.. TSC Implement Low Gloss Black with hardener and Mineral Spirits through the HF: HVLP.

Funny side note on that HF gun... I was talking with DWT earlier how good it has been, and not even 20 minutes later the stud flies out of the trigger... lol. *Go figure*

Put her to work.

Average Joe · 12-29-2011, 01:46 AM

Coupla days ago Christmas to be exact I took the dog on an impromptu drive to the inlaws. On the drive home I smelled what I thoght to be canine flatulence. Turns out I was wrong. It was canine (St. Bernard) excrement. After realizing my predicament I pulled over and removed said feces and had a heart to heart with Fido. Unfortunately said dog had proceeded to walk around in her "little" Christmas present to me before I understood the situation. After returning home I got to spend the next hour shampooing the back of the burb. Theres an arguement for vinyle over carpet anyday.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-29-2011, 08:55 AM

Went as far as I could with the exhaust no need to find a muffler shop that can bend me some pipe and not ***** about the truck not being there.... Did start my lucy mod on the rear bed inner fenders....

**mm1077** · 12-29-2011, 06:44 PM

Installed my tach today...

big_al_71 · 12-29-2011, 06:52 PM

redid the exhaust...

zellway · 12-29-2011, 07:21 PM

Took the 68 chevy gill off my sub and gave it the 4 eye upgrade

aventur1 · 12-29-2011, 10:42 PM

Cleaned up some old rallys I bought last week, painted two coats of primer fill, two coats of grey. Took to tire shop, switched out old rims, went to Ace Hardware bought some allen head screws and put on the caps and rings...

Can I steal the speaker placement idea from you? I was wondering what I was going to use that space for.

74baggedbug · 12-30-2011, 11:28 PM

Relocated the Holley fuel pump to the back of the truck... Also fixed the broken linkage on my transmission... Also installed a Bluetooth receiver so I can run my stereo system off my phone and no head unit needed... If someone looks in my truck all they see is the factory radio delete panel and they move on to the next vehicle

Bought a 5.3l for it! Woo Hoo

flashed · 12-31-2011, 12:58 AM

Finally got to see it almost completely blown apart at the bodyshop today. Now the fun begins ,watching them replace the rusty panels and make it new in my design. I never dreamed I would be doing a frame off on my daily driver and as you can probably tell Im very excited.

67c10rustbuket · 01-01-2012, 02:50 AM

Tack welded my kick panel and "A" pillar now that the floor edge is welded in. put on the rocker panel on again with sheet metal screws for yet another test fit before I burn it all in to make sure it fits. door fits great! Rustbuket Build thread coming soon! made this pic my avatar also, drank wine and beer, Happy new year !

MONTE · 01-02-2012, 09:34 PM

Fixed the door jam switch, dome light works. Took it to about 5 inspection places to get the sticker. Finally got it done for the right price 14.50. Most places would not let it pass because its to loud.

dmwphoto · 01-02-2012, 09:39 PM

I bought some real nice back up light lenses from VA72C10 and went to put them on only to find the PO had put it back together without bulbs or wiring for back up lights. ordered a rear harness and housing cups and bulbs from Ecklers to put it together with. When I started diagnosing it I saw the rear harness had beed buggerred up pretty good.

RossRinSD · 01-02-2012, 09:39 PM

<~~~~~~~~~So jealous

Hope its a good one.

I'd love to put one in a 74 or 75. One of these days...

Finished block sanding the bed round 2. Sprayed more primer for block sanding round 3...or is it round 3 and round 4. I hate sanding and I am so confused!!!!! Am I where I think I am in the block sanding steps or has sanding made me crazy? I may have been priming and sanding for months...OH CRAP! I have been priming and sanding for months! Wawawawawawawawawawa...!!!

**allchevy58** · 01-03-2012, 01:19 AM

Bought new tires for the wheels.

M Evertsen · 01-03-2012, 02:12 AM

Worked on getting the wiring fixed. Got the head lights to work, but I will have to order a new light switch to get it all working right.
