I can't wait to see the finished product! I'll bet you will really enjoy it.

Something else I thought about....if you felt like building another...with that quality it would do well at Barrett-Jackson/Scottsdale!

Wiring SUX! The thing i dread most about this whole project is the wiring, so wish me luck.

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

Just be methodical about how you are doing it and take good notes. Try to get everything routed to where you want it prior to connecting the wires to the proper component. If you change where a wire is going (ie labeled), write it down on the schematic. Try to take the view of wiring as if it were plumbing, your just trying to get the electricity in the correct places, :). Make sure you have really good grounds, especially

chassis to motor
motor to cab
cab to chassis

(grind paint off is necessary)

Good luck!

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

Thanks Rob that all sounds like great advise and I will be sure to use it.

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

This is one gorgeous truck you have there, definetly the nicest X-Cab I have seen, great job on that. The color scheme is great, just an all around nice truck. You have to be proud of yourself for building this thing!!!!

Re: project "WILD THING"

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

Got the taillights in. Moving slowly on it but atleast Im moving.

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

Your skills are top notch, it's great to see someone taking pride in their work.
Your truck should be featured in a magazine. WOW!!!!!!
Whatever happened to your 70 GMC you had in highschool? What size of lift and tires are you running on current truck?

Someday my skills might be half as good as yours.:gmc2:

Re: project "WILD THING"
 

WOW - what an awesome ride! Love the paint too. Do you have kids? They are going to love riding in Dad's truck! Can't wait to see the progress. Keep up the amazing work.
