Very nice, truck is looking good

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Also spent a couple hours today getting all my gaps and body lines sorted out. It was never completely dialed after paint and bugged the crap out of me so I got some shims and took my time getting everything the way I wanted it.

Next on the list is get the brakes dialed. I ordered some pads from a place in CA that makes street compound pads for race calipers and they should be here in the next couple weeks. Once that's done I am gonna align the front end, fix the tailgate/bed issue, run exhaust, and get this girl on the road.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Hopefully I can finish her before summer is over:lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

You are getting close bud!!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Looking good Andrew!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

is the truck coming home this summer or staying in Boone? I'd like to check it out.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Those gaps and body lines look great! Good job on polishing the windshield trim too. Keep it up!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks Rus, I can almost see the finish line! Wait, these things aren't supposed to be finished. Maybe I need an LS swap next :devil:
Thanks! It feels good to have the gaps and body lines straight. Now I'm ready to get some trim :)
Yea Jeff it'll come to Mooresville for the summer. I am moving into a different house next year that doesn't have a garage so it's gonna stay in Mooresville for my last year of school. It'll be hard but I can't drive it in the winter so it'll be okay. I'll let you know when I get it back down there and we can meet up. I gotta check out that blazer too :metal:
Thanks man, I appreciate it. The windshield trim was a pita but it'll look good when its done.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

looking amazing as always Andrew I really hope to see this truck at a show sometime in the future would love to see it in person

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

very nice !! ur almost there

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I will definitely be at some shows, hopefully we can meet up sometime in the future.
Thanks Raull, its good to see you back man! I can see the finish line from where I'm at but this seems to be the slowest part of the build :lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Got a little done on the truck today on my break from studying. Had to get away from exam stress for a while so I put the front brakes together. Front pads showed up yesterday, had to have them made by Porterfield brakes in CA. Also had to get new hats and rotors from Pro Systems. The old ones were set up to use 1/2" of hat spacer and I wanted to get my front wheels in more so I got rid of the spacer and got shorter hats to keep the brakes in the same spot. The rear pads should be here Monday and then I can bleed the entire system and that'll be done. Next on the list is exhaust. I am probably gonna end up running an H pipe with Borla mufflers but haven't done the homework yet to figure out which kit I want. Here are a couple pics of the brakes installed, let me know what you guys think.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Those brakes look awesome! The gaps look great as well. It is getting really close.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Seeing these long builds getting finished gets me excited. I can just image how you feel. Looks great.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Hey Andrew. Looking great! Are you going to help your Dad with his build thread? He sent me some pictures of the rear clip and described how he is raising the bed floor. Sounds cool!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Awesome truck, I love the wheels.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks man, I'm pumped to be this close to driving it. I cant wait!
Thanks man, words cant describe haha. Its basically all I can think about
Thanks Uncle Eric, I dont think he wants to do a build thread. I think he just wants to post up some pictures of it once its done. I'm not sure tho, we have talked about it a couple times. And yea I think it'll be sweet once its done, you gotta make it out here this summer and check both of the trucks out!!
Thanks you sir, I really appreciate it. My wheels might be my favorite part of the truck haha. Just gotta get it lower to tuck the 22s

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

20 days since your last update. WTF?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

You got the truck off the mountain yet?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

I know haha, I've been slackin
Yea I got it down to mooresville a few weeks ago. I've been working on it every chance I get which is why I've been behind on this thread. I got everything dialed and ready for the road with the exception of the brakes. We bled everything and it barely has any pedal so we are gonna try and bench bleed the master tomorrow and see if that solves it. Other then that I have to nut and bolt everything and make sure all the lose ends are tied up and I'll be ready for the maiden voyage

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Bring it to Newton next saturday and make mine look bad!:lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Can't wait to see the maiden voyage

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
