so lets build a truck/my '52 chevy - Page 9 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cajundragger · 06-13-2009, 10:44 PM

worked on my door solenoids today. The originals that came with the kit where to wimpy even after I doubled the length of the lever. So I went from 15lbs of pull to 30lbs and now am at 150 in-lbs. Shouldn't have a problem now.

little comparison

both sides-

I drilled out the middle hole on the solenoid to pass a 3mm bolt through

bolted in the interconnect pivot piece.

both sides made

so in the end I have no cables to stretch on me and leave me stranded and all the heavy forces are contained within the latch so no bent sheet-metal.

nice!

ScottMH · 06-17-2009, 05:13 PM

very nice looking truck. where in louisiana are you?

cajundragger · 06-17-2009, 08:31 PM

new orleans and baton rouge.

BlueJeep · 06-22-2009, 11:13 AM

I saw somewhere that you mentioned you "reverse-sectioned" your rear fenders so you could be that low. Any pics of this? Did you just do the front so it'd line up with the running boards or did you do front and back? Thanks!

junkman1jmc · 06-22-2009, 05:59 PM

was you at scrapin the coast if so i saw it and loved it . i took some pics of it. i hope my 48 gmc turns out that good.

cajundragger · 06-23-2009, 09:42 PM

I stretched the front of the rear fenders. Then stretch the bed when I made a new one.

yeah it was at scrapin'.

anyone know where the coverage for scrapin is at? I cant find any...

slimneverdies · 06-23-2009, 11:13 PM

slimneverdies · 06-24-2009, 09:19 AM

Cajun, none of the guys on that board actually posted pics yet but u have to read thru the post for the links. One guy has pics on his myspace thats linked to this page http://www.streetsource.com/forum/to...106712&page=36 with ur truck. You should check 1sik52. He seems to have all the info on the show.

GRIMSS · 06-25-2009, 08:04 AM

Dropjaw and SocalCustoms have placed there coverage but no pics of your truck. I'm hoping Hotridesmag or Street Source will have their's up soon, I want to see it.

Were else does everyone look as I'm stuck here in middle of Missouri.

GRIMSS · 06-28-2009, 11:34 PM

Truck looks incredible love the color. Have you thought of painting the engine covers body color? I think it would look sharp.

joe231 · 07-08-2009, 09:55 PM

wow, very nice work!!

cajundragger · 07-11-2009, 11:28 PM

been working on the engine covers

all sanded up

filled the chevrolet with bondo

glass'd the whole cover

then I lost it and decided to change them up alot. decided to build out the corner of the passenger side cover and cap off the ends.

cajundragger · 07-11-2009, 11:30 PM

primed

decided to do some paint work on them as well and throw on a classic scallop.

start to finish is something like 20hrs, crazy for freakin engine covers.

50adrod · 07-11-2009, 11:49 PM

looks good, what are the plans for the intake?
