this car is awesome!!! i would totally rock it but kind of a boat to be a DD. great looking job though and especially for the money you have into it!

kyull67 · 11-23-2010, 03:57 PM

Thanks! I'd DD it if there was a more modern drivetrain installed.

kyull67 · 11-23-2010, 03:58 PM

Although parking it is time consuming!

thats one of the main reasons i don't like using my truck as a DD cause its a long bed. My next build will prob. be a shortbed (easier to park) with a modern drive train & some modern touches to use as a true DD.

I just looked at that unit this past weekend. Might have to talk "turkey" the next time I'm down that way. Do you use gas or flux?

Nate: Why do you need a welder when you have such a pretty truck? Do you have another project going? I should have my miller 135 in the next week or so. I am pretty excited to learn.

I use gas and honestly flux is a waste of time.(crappy AND ugly welds) Much better in my opinion to spend the extra money and go with 75/25 gas right from the start.

Get that truck cut apart so next time I'm in KC I can give you a few pointers on rockers/floor replacements!

Eh... I might have a few things up my sleeve.

BTW... are you buying your Miller new? If so, what kind of rate should I expect to pay for one? I've had Miller's highly recommended, but I figured with name I would pay a much higher price.

Thanks Kyle, that's what I've been told as well.

jitteryguy · 11-27-2010, 03:46 PM

I would have to throw some 13" Dayton's on there, that has turn'd out really nice !

dieselarmy13 · 11-27-2010, 04:28 PM

Thanks guys!

And good eye! Strange things happen around my house. That picture fits right in.

I installed the bumpers, weather stripping, and some more interior pieces today. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

tcb-1 · 11-27-2010, 11:57 PM

hummm..... hey Kyle, wanna paint a 19' Caddy sometime?

my friend, you have talent!! wished you lived up here, I need your welding skill!!

kyull67 · 11-28-2010, 12:28 AM

Well that's only 1' longer than the 'Scayne. What needs welded, does it have rust?

Thank You!

thirdstreettito · 12-03-2010, 01:34 AM

What paint colors are those? It looks great kyull! Beautiful job! Just as the other 2(R.I.P. #1).

kyull67 · 12-03-2010, 11:13 AM

Thanks! Pastel Blue and Indian Silver.

kyull67 · 12-03-2010, 06:56 PM

Here's the up to date pictures with the bumpers on.

72BlckButy · 12-03-2010, 07:19 PM

Looks good with the chrome back on it.

doc70sub · 12-03-2010, 08:29 PM

Looks good!

**Palf70Step** · 12-03-2010, 08:49 PM

Real nice. It looks so at home in that field.

kyull67 · 01-16-2011, 01:45 PM

Carpet is installed. Finally going to do the suspension and windshield next..

jb1016 · 01-16-2011, 05:40 PM

Wow, haven't seen this thread in a while -- you've made awesome progress. Looks great. Are you gonna run the S10 wheels long-term? With some center caps they'd be a cool alternative to vette rallies.
