Re: My 86 build

I got the 2 center pieces for a grille like that. They were on the 86 grille in my 84. I used the bowtie. If you need them give PM me. I put a 84 back in mine. Got the head light bezels to, but I used the center trim that was on them.

Re: My 86 build

Not doing much on Big Red, just still waiting on funds to get the hood painted. In the mean time, I got a Blaster Cabinet for Christmas, so I've been re-arranging the garage this weekend.
It's sitting on the generator right now, but if I ever need it, I'm screwed. The weight would be too much to move after the media gets added. So I ordered a Gladiator Adjustable table, the generator can sit under the table and then the Blaster on the table. It's rated for 3000 lbs!!! I have Gladiator Cabinets now, so it will fit right in.
The air compressor was right beside the blaster, but to accommodate the table it had to move to between the garage doors. I'll just have to run the air hose over when I use the blaster.

I'm still waiting on the filter and then I went ahead and ordered the other types of inline dryer/filters. Going to try a couple of different ones, since they are disposable, I'll see which works the best. So it's going to be another week or so, before I get to play with the blaster, lol.

As you can see, Big Red is all covered and tucked in, safe & warm. Winter sucks!!!

Well it ain't much, too small for my liking, especially when both vehicles are in there. It's just a 2 car attached to the house, so it is heated, I can't complain about that.
Sorry but the only pics of the garage I have, are the ones where I was taking pics of the truck and etc.
The mat on the one side is for the winter, keeps the snow that melts contained. That's where the Honda (daily driver) to work gets parked. It stays out in the summer, giving me more to do things in the garage.

I see you decided to go with the smaller one. How was the assembly process?

Really wasn't much to assemble, it comes exactly as you see it sitting there. I just need to attach the vacuum hose, air lines and add the sand.
