A couple little updates... Got my truck in primer, and will have my runningboards finally on tuesday. Got the exhaust all built and done. Got my power steering lines fixed(leak) and now the power steering works and is complete.

Was hoping to get the truck in the booth next weekend but the wife and I decided to go to the portland roadster show instead. I guess the paint can wait a week more.

Looks great! Can't wait to see the paint.

4DSEVEN · 02-27-2009, 05:32 PM

Just looking back at some of your earlier pic's trying to gain knowledge and ideas for my set up...

I am looking at your brake reservoir and wondering how you plan to get access to it once your cab is on?

hats off! your truck looks awesome ! Could you post some pics on how you adapted the power steering pump on the ls1 to the mustang 2 rack?
thanks

Hope the previous owner does not mind but after 4 years of sitting around in someone's garage I ended up purchasing this truck about 4 months ago ! Can't wait to bring this truck to the level it was headed for ... Currently in the process of redoing much of the rear chassis work will start my own thread after that is complete !!!!

I should be getting the truck back from the chassis shop in the next week or so waiting on the accuair exo mount for final clearances to button things up so no pictures of that progress until i visit the shop but when it returns i plan on moving quickly on this thing!!!

Here is the direction I am gonna take the truck ... I am unfortunately not a fan of orange

^^ That is not my rendering just for an idea^^ Cyber Grey Metallic is the color im leaning towards

off to the chassis shop

I am super excited to get rolling on this thing!!

_Ogre · 11-19-2013, 02:45 PM

chassis shop? looks like it has 4 wheels and a steering wheel

what are the plans for it at the shop?

vince921 · 11-19-2013, 05:08 PM

Ogre . There redoing the entire backhalf from the cab back ... Doing all round tube. Installing the 9 inch and building a 4 link for it ... Remounting the fuel cell/ making all the mounts for the new accuair setup etc .. It's taking longer then expected but will be well worth it!

vince921 · 11-20-2013, 07:48 PM

I am currently looking into what type of seats i want to run.. i definitely want to do buckets but cant really decide on a style shape etc. anyone have pics of different styles in the truck. hard to picture might just go with something simple like this

http://www.jegs.com/i/Bestop/025/39429-01/10002/-1

and have them reupholstered but then again id love to find a deal on some nice power/leather seats

vince921 · 12-22-2013, 05:46 PM
