"One really slow build" thread

[Spray-Bomb]

I think Ima build the rear to do whatever I want, then one day I'll make the front do whatever the rear can do (if that made sense)

I just have to decide if I want a big notch sticking up through my floor, or do I want to back half it

On the front I may be able to get away with drop spindles (but I dunno if the tires will be big enough to keep the A-arms from dragging)

As much as I would like to ride low, I'll settle for just laying out when I park (for a while)

[GREASEMONKEY72]

layin frame is nice, but the extra work to lay rocker is that much better

[Spray-Bomb]

Well my truck is off the road for a while, so I can get some stuff done to it

I'm waiting on the rubber grommet for the gas tank, so I can finish that
And I'm selling my 20's, to go for more of an Old Skool look

I'm getting a sweet black bumper from Michael (Select) so that'll be going on soon

I think Ima pull the bed & front clip off, so I can align the body correctly & when I put it back together I'll put my new grill in the front & put wood in the bed

[Spray-Bomb]

As for the bagging, I have decided that for a while all the rear needs to do is what the front does now & from measuring the difference all I need is a bolt in notch

I'll do this while the bed is off, I'll also be putting on the tank, valves, compressor & whatever else

When I get around to the interior, Ima build a custom console & some speaker boxes for the cab corners 7 maybe the kick panels or the doors
I won't be running any big subs anymore, just some really good 6x9's or something similar

Think Ima go for kindof a phantom look for the truck

heres some inspiration

did you paint them wheels red yet ?? How bout them dog dishes silver!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

No man, I've tinkering on Kilroy
But now that he's on the road, I should get to work on my black truck now

I need to make an order, which is one of my fav. things to do but I hate to spend the money... lol

[Spray-Bomb]

Oooo, almost forgot

I met up with Micheal (Select) and got his old black bumper, so I hope to get it on my truck soon

A pic update is coming soon, I can feel it

[Spray-Bomb]

Well guys, I didn't get much done but heres some pics for ya

Got my old bumper off & slide in my new one (didn't bolt it on, cuz Ima have to pull it off later)

[Bob 68327]

would'nt it have been easier to paint the red one black???

[Spray-Bomb]

Nope, the black on was free !!!

[Bob 68327]

Those are the best parts!!!! Wish all mine were free !!!! Working on it tonight !!!! It's Raining so I can't work on the house!!!!!

[Bob 68327]

Hey , I got it tuned went to the street , found I had a leaky fuel line and my valve covers don't have good enough baffles so it's an oily mess and I couldn't be happier . burnout comming up !!!! Maybe only a pic at first!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Sweet !!!

[Select]

Bumper looks good on your truck man. It was nice to meet you. See you around....Mikey

[Spray-Bomb]

Yeah man, it was cool to meet you

I like the way it looks too

[Bob 68327]

Looks like you painted your wheels??? My trucks a driver now but the brakes suck but i'm workin on it!!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Well I haven't updated in a while, cuz my laptop went down on me
So I've been borrowing my moms (& it sucks) but I remembered I had backed up my files, so heres an update

Took the rear springs out of my black truck, I thing this will be real close to ride hight for a while

[Spray-Bomb]

Put on my stickers... came out like crap, so Ima have FuelCellGuy make me some bigger ones





Painted some headlight trim, but don't like the contrast (will be painted body color, when I paint it)

[Spray-Bomb]

I cleaned one of my wheels really good yesterday & painted it shiny black, with a hubcap I bead-blasted & painted some new green color

[Bob 68327]

I like the wheel and the dog dish looks sweet

[Spray-Bomb]

Ok, so here are some questions

Should I run a roll pan or bumper up front, should I run the hub caps, white lines, red lines, or blackwall, if no hubcaps then do I run spider caps or chrome lug nuts ???

I decided to run my 5" monster tach, so that'll be going in soon & I'm also changing the carb out

Bumper , blackwalls , hubcaps or spyders either would look *****in' . I will take a pic of my monster tack today to give you a idea of what it looks like mounted . I love it !!!!!

[Bob 68327]

Here's my tach and interior!!!!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Thats looks sweet

But I don't think I'll run mine on the collumn, I'll either run it under the dash (which I don't like cuz it's harder to see) or somewhere up higher

[Spray-Bomb]

Here's an update

I sold my wheels to Mark today !!!

Played around with mounting my tach & got pics of my tail lights I smoked the other day ( did it with black spray paint, but dunno if they'll let enough light through to be safe in the day time)

Oh, & I bombed one of my bedsides to see how I liked it being one color again
