Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

For real! Yeah, id just the the GOTTA HAVE stuff. (Brakelines,battery,fuel lines,coolant lines etc). You can live with a rusty battery tray (I can!). Replace that when you get the chance (Easy afternoon project)/

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

Not trying to be a butt..

I spent alot of time on my frame (cab back). Sandblasted bedlinered etc, it looked great at first. But after a few thousand miles it got nasty. Dont sweat it man. If you were building a $40000 show truck it'd be somethign else.

Any updates from today? How were those brakelines going?

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

Yeah, get those brakes finished and bled (save a headache, do all wheel cyclinders/master cyclinder/soft lines) and bleed everything and do it 1 time. Trust me. And get the puppy on the ROAD

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

yes i need to get new brake shoes for the rear drums. they are really good but have a crack in the one on one side the owner who had my frame (before my uncle) really kept up on matenance the brakes are all new the chocks are new the ball joints tie rods are new we replaced the ball joints because we sandblasted the frame. the only reason they look messed up is because this frame was in san fransisco (really salty= rust fast) so they got worn out by the salt there

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST

It's hard to get the oxidation out of seems... I think eastwood has a product in a spray bottle that can get into these areas to take care of oxidation so it won't spread... otherwise it will just rust again
