the windows came tinited, on the box it says its medium tint
i was trying to get it close to my rear window tint which it smoked and it looks just like it so i guss them are smoked to.

clemson71guy · 02-01-2008, 11:14 AM

well today all i done was put the rattle peice in the windows...and like everything elese they dont fit worth a crap.
tomorrow dads gonna bring home a welder and some tubing to make a frame for the seats,then we can take them to get recovered.

1980GMC · 02-01-2008, 11:32 AM

Great job on the truck so far!

It's sweet that you and your dad are building it together.
Keep up the great work.

Clemsonguy, what window kit is this. If you say brothers im gonna be pissed, thats the one i have. ahaha I dont want to have problems like that. Is it installer error? Or are they really that bad?

clemson71guy · 02-02-2008, 06:04 AM

yeah its the brothers kit..if you are talking about the rattle peices not fitting then yeah its pretty bad but nothing major.

kyull67 · 02-02-2008, 07:54 AM

Sweet build!

Nice bike too, I ride an '06 KX250F.

clemson71guy · 02-04-2008, 04:08 AM

thanks man
no progress has been made the past couple days just been tightning up bolts.
now i am going to try to figure out the gas lines so i can crank it up.
and i rolled it out today and took a couple pictures

clemson71guy · 02-04-2008, 11:49 AM

well i had a dellima with the passenger side window today...it wouldent roll down, it acts like its binding up on something but i cant really see it that good.
tomorrow i will put some grease on the rollers and see if that helps it any.
now im trying to put the steering column together. but i made a whole nother post about that

clemson71guy · 02-05-2008, 12:36 PM

well today i got the steering column together and the shaft cleaned up and painted,which will go in tomorrow.
then i got bored and cleaned the wheels and tires

, they needed it

clemson71guy · 02-10-2008, 11:01 AM

well not much of an update
the steering column is ready to go in all i have to do is find the U peice that holds it to the dash..

VDOG · 03-24-2008, 10:51 PM

I just bought a Prop Valve from CPP. of couorse they did not tell me im going to need extra brake lines. Can I ask, the line needed for the rear of the prop valve opening thats facing the firewall, where did you purchase that line?
Or is it something I have to bend myself?

84 400 · 03-25-2008, 08:58 PM

cool build man. Me and my dad are rebuilding a 1956 willys wagon. School really slows me down (back at school now so nothing gets done for 2 more months but I don't loose intrest........) Can't wait to see it.

the line was in the brake line kit sold by lmc, but they got it from inline tube.
so you could probally find that line seperate if you went to inlinetubes website.

Madmandav · 03-26-2008, 04:16 AM

Nice build man, wish mine was anywhere NEAR the point yours is. I am working on like 5 years and counting how long I have been tinkering with mone.
