Re: My 68SWB build
 

Thanks guys!..........I really wish I had more to show you , but I only get to work on it 2-3 hrs a night............Stay TUNED in the coming days though.

Re: My 68SWB build
 

had to clearance my 1 1/4" rotors for the BOSS 338's to fit but it was very minimal.........put a 40 grit flap disk on the angle grinder and spun the rotor........looks like it belongs there too!............. changed the grit till it matched the rotor texture.........i am a detailed person when it comes to my toys........this truck is no exception.

Prothane kit comes in on Saturday and the 2" blocks and u-bolts...........more will happen over the weekend if all pans out......stay tuned!

Re: My 68SWB build
 

painted my trailing arms and rear spring pockets.......

Re: My 68SWB build
 

ok guys, I am at a crossroad now on this build...........frame is sandblasted and painted, more than I originally planned on when I bought this truck........I had planned on cleaning up the engine bay, slapping the motor and trans in and driving it.........wellllllllllll i went a lil deeper than planned.... so as I wait on my Prothane body mounts to come in, do I do the body work on the rockers and floor spots.......orrrrr do I drive it patina for a year and then do the bodywork? Has an all new suspension as well.

Re: My 68SWB build
 

Do it all now while its cold outside and use single stage paint - we can both roll out in our fresh rides come spring :smoke:

Re: My 68SWB build
 

Oh no single stage paint for me..........im painting it BLACK when I do paint it, its gotto be straight and deep when done.

Re: My 68SWB build
 

Black? What happened to the rolling Tecate can color combo...

Re: My 68SWB build
 

looks like its going to be sweet!

Re: My 68SWB build
 

That is still on......gonna drive it Patina for a year and then switch to black.....unless the Patina pulls me in.

Re: My 68SWB build
 

coming along nicely!

Re: My 68SWB build
 

more done today......should be a roller later tonight or tomorrow.
