Getting it ready for paint


lots of sanding and not very great bondo work

After paint and some tlc




Herculiner

Kinda faded after a couple weeks

Engine before i did any mods at all

Very sad

Tach install


Makes adjusting the idle much easier. lol

Shaved the grill



Looks cleaner and less complicated to me

Some circle racing 15x7s with 4in Bs And falken ZE912's 215/65/15



HAndling on the corners with these is soooooooo much better

Lowerd before and after BJ flip up front and 3in blocks(cast iron) in the rear







still needs about a 1in drop up front to be exactly where i want it

Painted door panels with a base and clear(till i can afford putting cloth on em)


random

Where you takin classes at

 

Nice project dude! Similar to mine

 

Yota4life- Just started today at american river college in sacramento
Mnasholm- lol yeah i may have stole 1 or 2 of your ideas on your truck

 

haha
I want to do the Elec Fan Conversion

 

you two should just meet up, have a silly time, and take pics of the trucks side by side! hahaha

 

looking good! I like that you are motivated!

 

NICE! are your turn signals %100 clear? they look like it? i've been looking for some like that forever, but they all have that really diffused lens..if they are clear where did you get em and can you get a closer pic? thanks

 

I was gonna go to UTI for paint an body work but decided tht it would cost way to much. An my body went there an they didn't help him find a job or anything

 

they look SLIGHTLY diffused

 

I love the wheels!

And I reckon these trucks look the business at useable height on mot-massive wheels.

 

looking good keep it up... a little patience and work will take it far man

 

We could, hes only like a 10 hr drive away

 

Yeah the signals are 100% clear. I gotta pic!

Mnasholm-Hell yeah we should meet up lowest93 is like 10 miles away from me so we can have 3 trucks there. Elec fan FTW!
Darrenhopper-i love em too.

 

Can you tell me what you used and how you did it (Elec Fan)
Also where did you get those turns? Mine are turning yellow

 

I'm VERY interested now! lol I looked on the last pic and saw that the lightbucket itself has the reflectors.

 

Yeah check my intro thread if not i gotta wait till i get home to see what part #s i used it was a Hayden from pepboys.(cuz it has a lifetime warranty)
Nam - you are right sir, I got the signals off ebay i just know you couldnt use the connector it came with, you have to reuse the stock connection.

 

Dude come on! Wheres the fenders and bumper???? Wana see those parts still livin!

 

I tried bangin out the dents on the bumper it didnt work so well, fenders are comin though hopefully before summer so i can go home and paint em.

 

should have seen the bumper when i first got it.. I got it as straight as i could without doing any filler or making it worse. Just slap the fenders on. I WANA SEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
