Looking good!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Made a little more headway. GEEZUS, the small stuff takes forever.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I see you had a cold snack....:lol:. Keep it up, it's looking good.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Thanks, Dale! Cold snacks are a motivational tool ;).

Just to prove I made some progress. I got the new ball joints installed into the Porterbuilt control arms and got them mounted up on the chassis.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Nice! :metal:

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Front suspension is getting closer.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

It looks mean too.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Walter ROLLS!!! Frame is square, tight and ready for plumbing. So, plumbing for the Sniper EFI, trans cooler lines, Accuair system and brakes need to happen next. Then motor & trans go in for the final time & exhaust can happen. Then cab goes on & painless harness, then …. GEEZUS, it’s a long way to the finish line.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

At this pace it will be together in no time!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Life got in the way again and it came to a screeching halt. But firewall and interior paint are about to happen. Remember, I’m leaving the exterior alone. First bath the cab has had since 1984’ish.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Glad to see this. Keep @ it.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Some progress from today…

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I really need to do the same on my '64. The problem is the truck was re-painted years (and years & years) ago w/the Lt Green vs it's OG Turquois Poly.

There are areas where both colors are clearly visible since the truck was not completely disassembled. My original thought was to clean & paint the firewall only (to the upper lip) in Satin black along w/the inner wells & leave the cowl area/s as is. But, a good friend of mine whom shall remain nameless suggested 'hell no'.

I have zero intentions or desire to paint it. Ever....

Your situation (from the pics) looks like it will work well.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

I had to do the firewall because I needed to get rid of the original HVAC holes. I’m doing the interior, because it just plain ole needed a freshening up. That way when riding down the road it’ll feel like a new truck while the outside is OG paint by Walter DeWayne himself.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

1st coat of primer :D

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Understood. I did the interior already for the same reasoning.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

To prove that I’m working on both pieces.. I got the 468/700r4 installed and the Chevelle headers fit without issue. MOVING FORWARD!!! Shooting for September finish date.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

It looks awesome!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Inching along. GEEZUS, painting the interior was true act of acrobatics. But almost done. Still gotta paint all the small parts and the firewall.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Firewall is painted!!!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Wow pretty sharp color. It’s gonna look great!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
 

Thanks man! It’s actually just the oe 507 paint code. I only did the firewall and interior. I’m leaving the exterior the original used & abused paint. :lol:

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short
