I dont know if im going to be done in time for tinbender!!!
I still have to wire up the arb and the winch, and it still needs one more coat of paint. I also need to get the rear bumper on. Also my motor is running like crap for some reason, it wont stay idleing.

 

That is coming along real nice......Roller paint huh? I did a car that way when I was in high school.....haha. I had forgotten all about that. Anyway the 37's look good on there too....

 

got a bunch done

winch plate and winch


sliders


rear bumper

 

Did you fab the winch plate? How will it fit with the grill?

 

i bought it from trailgear. i was planning on making one but im just running out of time. as far as the grill im not sure it looks like it will fit.

 

Nice Job on your build. You gave me some ideas for improving my brakes on my '81. Seems to be something folks forget about..
W/ the 5" springs did you have to do anything with your drive shafts?

 

the front is stock length. the rear was lengthend, I cant remember how much. i also have dual cases so that made the most difference.

She's looking really good. How much longer till you everything's all done? (I know, a real man's project is never done) How deep are you into it too$?

 

First of all, who is the cutie in a couple of those pics???

And second, what is the picture of the front axle with fluid on it showing?

Nice truck, I plan on doing a lot of the same stuff to my 89.

Why is your hood off in some of those pics?

 

Thats the wifey. The axle was on Marlins truck, I took it just for referance.

 

I had to take my hood off because the engine was overheating, I didnt want to turn around so i just took it off, it made a big differance

 

I just need to get the engine dialed in, and build a front bumper. That should be good for a while.

 

Yeah, cause it kinda had me stumpped when I saw it...

 

Im going to do some trimming on the rear wheel wells. my tires got cut from flexing out so much.



its going to be 2" total, all of the white part.

 

nice i need to tub my firewall and do some fender work

You havent rubbed till you broke a birf doing so

 

Ah, aint it a shame when you have tooo much flex? haha.

 

haha no doubt. I just dont want to break out the sawzall just yet

 

It looks good man. Go by this motto it has been helping me out lately.
When something breaks/doesn'st work, rebuild it bigger,stronger,and faster.
It worked for the Million Dollar man.
