Thanks man. Day at a time. Been busy lately. Going to get back at it and start the work on the need, should be enough "free work" to hold me over....

Got some seats to mock up. Might have to find some OEM covers and a driver seat cushion. The fabric is a little dirty and beat up in some spots but it'll be good for mockup and making the brackets. They came from a 2001 Chevy Silverado extended cab.

Also got the injector hold downs plated with the same stuff as the lines!

Injectors are at Carson Stauffer getting opened up and they are going to size me up a turbo. And I found a 5 Speed Overdriven spicer trans that will bolt up. sweeeeet progress!

I have 12 days off for my Christmas break. As a time traveling mad scientist once shouted "You're going to see some serious $#!+."

Got the inner fender wells out of the box, amazing how easy stuff out west comes apart!

Patched where someone hacked a hole for the filler neck for a tank in the bed....

Made the tailgate easier to mount back up!

No more trim holes!

Man did it hurt putting a hole in PERFECT Arizona sheetmetal.... Fuel door action.

Getting there.

Smmmmooootthhhhhhh

Fill 'er up!

X 2, and I agree with what was posted above, don't go into debt to finish it. Go slow and pay for it with cash, that's my advice.

Looking good! Nice work on the fuel door!

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Thanks guys!!

Great, back to square one on my tailgate. Thought it was in better shape when I had it on the truck. I'll look for another, but get this one blasted and see what I can do.....

Did a quick patch on the hole on the inside. Getting bedlined and a spare mounted over it.

Added a hole and nut for the hydroboost to bolt to.

Mock up:

Sleeve extension

Lines, hoses and fittings ordered!

 

[6.9poweredscout]

The go pedal.

Picked up the OD spicer

And more parts!

Sick of everyone asking "when are you ever going to finish it"..... Well i only make so much money. You want to see it done sooner? Put up or shut up!

I'm with the build it as you can group you can see in my avatar how far I've got in nearly two years so keep us posted with more pics when you make head way on it. :Cheer:

 

[6.9poweredscout]

:Cheer: Haha, yeah, figure is someone throws in a few bucks, great, if not.... just thought it'd be funny!

Painted the fuel tank!

And got the master cylinder bolted up!

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Tank is mounted for good!

And I picked up a vintage cap for it!

Does it scream 70's enough? should I leave the woodgrain or go orange and white??

 

[coastal]

Wow that thing looks new!

 

[rucummins]

Leave the vintage wood grain

 

[6.9poweredscout]

I think a good polish that cap will come back to life. The little roof vent leaked and some of the interior paneling is gone but i think a sheet of fiberglass will work perfect.
