Ok noob question but what is damplifier and where do you get it?

Just google it, that's what I did. Looks like pretty cool stuff although the roofing stuff from Home Depot works well and is cheaper.

Hey Keith,

The cross shafts on the PB control arms, you gonna paint or coat them with something or leave them natural? Just not sure how I want to do mine.

Thanks, Nate

BTW, awesome build :metal:

Thanks....I'm going to leave them natural to break up all the black.

subscribed...

It had rust in the firewall....actually in some weird places and I replaced about 1/2 of the firewall.

I got a little bit done today on the truck. I started putting the motor together, it's now down to me getting the valve covers bodyworked and painted and then I should have the motor about ready to drop in the chassis. I also got the front completely done on the frame and started pulling the rear apart to swap out the axles and prepare for the Captain Fab brackets for the disc brakes. I didn't get any pictures.....phone was on the charger while I was working and I forgot....

Keith,... are you going to run the new bolt on P/S reservoir?
It is so much cleaner.
I wish I had it, instead of the remote reservoir and running hoses.

Can't you talk Billet Specialties into powdercoating the V-Trac system, black, from the factory?
I think they would sell a ton of them.

I asked before and they said they were not interested at this time.....:lol: I've done 3 already.

I'm late to the party.... amazing detail once again.

Billet Specialties would definitely benefit from some outside the box thinking. PC'ing the trac systems, different wheel center finishes, etc.

What color interior pieces are you planning on using?

Killer build Keith.

Waiting on my fabric samples to show up so I can mix the interior color.
