Re: Project Where'd The Money Go
Can't wait to get it back all 'pretty'. Got lots of parts I can't wait to install... Hopefully by Christmas. I occupied my time though with working on the valve covers. I painted them with a high temp black and then polished the top only. I think they turned out looking pretty nice.

Re: Project Where'd The Money Go
V/C's looking good! atleast they are pointing you in the right direction, and did the right thing by suggesting to get it blasted.

Re: Project Where'd The Money Go
Here are the latest pics after all soda blasting was completed. Especially note how the cab corners contain brass!

Re: Project Where'd The Money Go
Been lazy about posting pics. Time to start throwing them out here....
Here is what we found when body shop removed the passenger rocker panel. PO had elected to just put a new inner rocker on OVER the old rusted out one. Gee, I wonder why that didn't last? http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...s/100_1093.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...s/100_1092.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...s/100_1091.jpg And here is the passenger bedside after some much improved bodywork http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...s/100_1090.jpg |
Re: Project Where'd The Money Go
Here's some shots of how the cab looks now. We decided we are going to replace the cab corners too. This will get rid of the rust holes and the brazed brass work.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can tell you the ramifications of you ball joint dust cover not going on all the way. What's holding it from seating all the way? Is it just the angle? |
