Even with all the cussing about sanding and welding the firewall it sure turned out killer... And I got my new pulleys,new oil pan,new timing chain and dipsticks on and I thought it was going back in for good but its been out a few times since.cover

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Got the bradided fuel ine installed used the made just for you clamps the are pretty sweet. I still need to pull the cab off and weld up all the holes and por 15 it... I used silver por 15 on the cab floors and black por 15 on the inside firewall too..

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Heres a couple of shots of her sitting out side and some shots of the rust that I gotta get repaired..

Re: Project 7deuce
 

More rust and some more por 15 on the inner rocker and on the inside of the outter rocker.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Amen on how long it takes to shave the firewall and cap the channel. Hours of welding and grinding, the your result looks good. I still have a lot more welding and grinding, then filling and sanding to go. The look is worth the work. Good Job!

Here you can see the outter rocker is ready to be welded on(still not welded yet) Some shots of theinside of the cab with all the holes in the floors patched and the tranny cover shifter hole welded up and smoothed. And more of the killer por 15..:cool:

Re: Project 7deuce
 

the truck is really coming along nicely. i wish i would have shaved the channel on my firewall. keep up the good work.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Lats of the por 15 shots that I have. One word of caution is to to this stuff in a well vented area. Now for some:bling:stuff foe the motor... New tranny pan from summit and lokar th400 kickdown set-up ..

Re: Project 7deuce
 

A shot of the painted tranny and the summit tranny pan along with the lokar kick down set-up. My new lokar dipsticks installed... Bought all this stuff from summit when I went to hot august nights I think it was called peer pressure..

Re: Project 7deuce
 

nice looking project.

and i love your yota

Re: Project 7deuce
 

ya more progress........ vacation rocks.. I decided that I needed wider tubs to clear the wide rear tires I d like to run. So I broke out the cuttin wheel and zipped em apart and added some metal from donar tubs I had and welded em back together.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

I cut the inside of the bed to make way for the future wheel and tire combo and finally installed my new intake (from mike nutt thanks.)and new valve covers. When I tried to install the carb the fuel outlet ran into the side of the valve cover so it looks like I ll have to look at other options.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Got my notch built and welded up. I f I had to do it agian Id just order the countoured notch as doing it this way is a pain but I thought it would be easier ya right. I have to go back in and final weld the notch and make my boxing plates and make sure everything is safe. For some reason in the pics the notch holes that I cut look huge but they are really pretty tight on the notch.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Notch installed and readdy for braceing and finall welding. And check out how think that damn frame was to cut the sawzall sure did not want to cut through that.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

This is how shes sits right now... Gotta get back out and finish it today... See ya tonight..

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Nice work! Firewall looks awesome. You're gonna love that lokar kick-down switch.

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Cant wait to see more !!!

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Got most of the notch finished before I ran out of wire for the welder hopefully someone will be open today.. I cut the bed center out and dropped the bed back on but the tires hit the inside of the bedsides so it will need to be trimmed to fit. Also the truck arms hit the frame so I m gonna have to decide where to put my bags and since I ordered drop spindals for the front I may need to adda block in the rear. Thanks for the comments guys and frizz get those headders installed so I can order a set...

Re: Project 7deuce
 

No Need to wait on me. Jkade already had them installed without issue. Just a little frame trimage according to him. I'm shopping for mufflers now. Looking at 50 series flows...

Re: Project 7deuce
 

Damn that means I have to order those too.... Maybe I can sell the ones I have to offset the cost..
