70stroker · 05-29-2009, 03:42 PM

heres the pass fender first pic is of it wet sanded and buffed second is nothing done to it.

i also put my interior mostly back together heres a few crappy pics

let me know what ya think.

*highperf4x4* · 05-29-2009, 09:34 PM

I think it looks like a mean sumb%tch.!!

How about the stereo system?

I see what you mean with the sanding and buffing. That looks righteous.

vexvader · 05-29-2009, 10:05 PM

Hey man it looks good! Keep up the good work. As far as all the orange peel, I am not a paint guy, but it looks like your presure is too high on your gun or you are too far away from the truck when you are painting. I am sure there is something you can do that will help that.

They do look good after you wet sand them! I will following along! Looks good man!!

70stroker · 05-31-2009, 09:31 PM

Big J'72 GMC · 06-01-2009, 12:46 AM

*highperf4x4* · 06-01-2009, 01:40 AM

70stroker · 06-06-2009, 10:10 PM

70stroker · 06-06-2009, 10:11 PM

GMC406 · 06-06-2009, 11:32 PM

Looks great man!

What kind of drop you running? Nice stance

70stroker · 06-07-2009, 12:14 AM

2.5 spindles up front with 3 inch springs 235 60 15 tires and 5 inch in back with 295-50 15

*highperf4x4* · 06-07-2009, 01:27 AM

That's pretty close to my tires. My fronts are 255/60/15 on 8" and the rears are 295/50/15 on 10". Also Cooper Cobras.

However, my Big Block is not very close to yours!

What are you going to do inside the bed? Mine is all rusted up and I'm trying to decide which way to go with it. Maybe a rhino lining or something.

70stroker · 06-07-2009, 11:44 AM

yup thats the plan is rhino lining it. i contacted are sprayer in town and he said for just a real thin coat thats more for show than durabilty after i dont haul anythin in this truck, it be about 80 bucks. plus i have a tonneau cover for it.

VA72C10 · 06-07-2009, 03:49 PM

Looks great man...Like em long and low :GMC:

Wow thats a good price. I haven't checked on mine yet but I will probalby haul some stuff from time to time. Say, did you have to deal with any rust on the bed floor and if so, what did you do to get rid of it and prep it for the rhino liner?

70stroker · 06-10-2009, 11:33 PM

but the other day i drove up to kansas city to lmc and classic parts of america. both of which have awesome service in person and great showrooms, recommend going and checking em out if possible to all. anyway i got alot of parts for the interior and exterior finishing touchs. got new outer doors handles, door locks and keys, kick panels, door sills, rocker covers, billet glove box door, new weather stripping, clear corners, cargo light, and misc parts, well heres some pics with all this on.

VA72C10 · 06-11-2009, 01:08 AM

Looking good...keep at it

*highperf4x4* · 06-11-2009, 01:31 AM

Wow, looks great!

I like that ashtray too.

What's the other toggle switch that's hanging down?

70stroker · 06-14-2009, 09:14 PM

Alright guys got the paint wet sanding and buffing done. Have it mostly put back together also. took the bbc supercharged out for a spin for the first real time, felt awesome. Heres some pics for the thread.

Heres a pic of the 1 inch square tubing i welded in right in front of the hold i cut. it added alot of strength and the hood is as strong if not more than stock now.

70stroker · 06-14-2009, 09:16 PM

Just for giggles i took a pic of the oil pressure on the old big block.
