King Of Trucks, Chapter Two......The Come Up...

I threw some krylon at my pickup just to get it all one color. Turned out ok. Looks great from far away or at night when you can't see the shitty bodywork.









I got my hardware back from being polished and got most of that earlier posted chrome mounted. I need more stuff chromed still. I'll include the starter, fuel pump, exhaust manifolds, valve covers, intake and valley pan. So not much more to go but money.


***I desperately need a generator mounting bracket and adjustment bracket!!! If you can help, give a holler!***

 

looks cool terd... is that what color you will go with when it gets painted ?
i like the flat... curious, how many cans did it take ?

Terd please put that pic on the window cruisin thread. Truck looks cool. Krylon rattle cans? I used them for my flames and it actually went on nice and it was only about 50*F in the garage.

 

Terd, you know how I feel about the paint, Love it!!

As for the brackets, C&D. I told you once already, son!

Very cool...

 

Truck's awesome, Terd! (Tool box, too!)

Good to catch up a little this weekend!

 

The truck looked really cool Saturday. Rattle can or not I dig that gold.

 

Your truck looked great Saturday Terd! I took a shot of it Sat. night.

 

Thanks a lot everybody! I appreciate it.

I'll be dropping off more chrome for the engine tomorrow. Almost done.

 

lookin killer!

 

Terd, how about an update or have ya been too busy drivin' the wheels off it to do any more to it?

 

Funny you should ask, haha! I am dropping off my starter, fuel pump, and exhaust manifolds today for chroming. I'll also be dropping off the valve covers and intake to be polished. I had wanted those chromed but the chromer convinced me it would be hard to throw chrome in all the nooks and crannies of the intake.

He'll tell me a week but it'll probably take three. Then my engine will be totally done and ready to start the swap!!!

 

Be sure to post some pics. Mmmmmm...chrome.

 

How is it that you have so much money for Chrome? I can't keep up with you dude. Now it's going to take me another 3-5 weeks to save to get my manifolds and generator done which means no '35 for Steel In Motion. Oh well, it'll get there.

I can't wait to see your shit dude. It's going to be pretty spectacular and will compliment the rust...I mean gold ....I mean purple paint on your truck homie!

 

Tax refund for the winz!!!!!11!!! Nothing like waiting til the last minute. I e-filed on April 16th, hahaha! I only waited so long because I thought we'd have to pay. Turns out not, so now I'm hood rich.

 

Looking good! Are you running a flipped axel in the rear?

 

Thanks! Negative on the flipped axle. I'm using 4" dropped monoleaves along with 2" dropped shackles in the rear.







Chrome should be back soon and the engine will be finished and ready for the swap.

 

Huh weird. Im runnin the same setup and I couldnt get mine that low in the back.

 

Super Smooth, Terd.... Which krylon is that, specifically? I've seen certain flats and satins, sometimes grouped in "camoflage" sets, etc-so I imagine there's a few different versions of the metalics...

Sorry for the delay. The color is Krylon Champaign Noveau and its a satin finish.

 

Six weeks later...



This is one heavy sumbitchin' box. Blang blang.

 

sweet. what all's in the box terd ? lay it all out man.. LOL.
seriously, you're gonna have the coolest tri-5 pickup around.

leonard

 

Leonard,

I'll g et some pics up soon. I need to clean and wax all the new stuff. The chrome guy was in too much of a hurry to get it back to me to clean it up good, haha!

 

Awesome! Glad you finally got your stuff. Whats the next step? Are you pretty much ready to drop the caddy motor in now?

 

Champaign... Cadillac powered... lot's of chrome... pink engine...

Sounds like your joining the Gold Chainers club...

 

Fixed^^

Think you're doing a great job Terd!

 

We're going to wait til just after heavy rebel so I'll be able to drive it there. But yeah, otherwise its ready to go. After I get all this stuff back on the engine that is.

The truck will not be champaign in the end. I'm in the sold in the gas station parking lot gold chainers club.

Thanks a ton! Its definately coming along but still a long way to go.

 

Terd, what a cool truck. Good job brother!

 

looking good brother, keep it up. Are you going to ever drive that thing my direction for any shows? Columbus GG show next summer?
