Also my dad back in ‘58 or ‘59. 1939 deluxe with Olds Rocket mill. [ATTACH]
Thanks, that was awesome and became reality only because of the hamb. For those that weren’t around, somebody from Chevy saw the pics of my dad’s...
I’m still waiting on those kick panel cables. They arrived in my town two days ago. I did manage to make the brackets out of metal for the rear...
Thanks a lot. Your truck looks really nice too (I snooped and found a pic you posted). Having them on the road driving is the best part.
I got stage one of my stereo in the truck. Man I’ve missed music while driving. Stage one consists of a Bluetooth head unit, two 4.5’s in the kick...
No problem, you’re welcome.
Mine is not the stock accelerator. But I don’t know what it’s from. It’s older, like 1960’s. It’s one a buddy had laying around that I could get...
I took the brake pedal off so I could finish mounting the Mooneyes pedal pad and then shape the stock pedal to fit it. Looks pretty nice now....
So, ok, I tried, I really tried today. But it was so brutally hot. I didn’t get everything done I wanted to, but I did manage to get a few small...
Couple of Mooneyes goodies showed up yesterday. Vent cables have been stuck in Kansas fedex for five days. Who knows when they’ll get here?...
Geez. Hope mine goes better.
I took the old headliner out to put more sound deadening up there. It was burgundy like the paint on the steering column. I heard it was a big...
Carpet is in. It’s pretty much too hot to do anything else. The carpet is from the Truck Shop, made by ACC. The rear part of the carpet sticking...
I got the seat frame painted and ready to cover. Working on carpet now. Pics of that after it’s done.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it.
Today, I got some supplies. Got chrome rear turn signal brackets to replace the painted ones. Got some “place holder” black carpet. I got some...
Thanks bud.
I got the rear bumper bracket holes fixed. But like some of the repop stuff goes, it’s pulled about a half inch to the left. Meh. I’ll have to fix...
Thanks a lot man.
I picked up the new throne yesterday. Separated back from bottom and gave it a good wipe down in preparation for removing the old covers. [ATTACH]
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I’m trying to cross something off the list every day.
Thanks.
I got the two front bumper holes fixed up with bolts in them. I can also report that with the Kilmat and the double sided foil with jute have done...
So today I took out the old headliner and got Kilmat on the roof. I installed the kick panel vent doors and painted the kick panel vent louvered...
Lame excuse, but I don’t have anything big enough to hold eight gallons. Thanks dude. Thanks.
I got the Kilmat all inside the kick panels. But I’ve somehow lost my new vent cables (the old ones were ugly and one was seized), and the local...
Thanks a bunch. Whenever I start building a bike or a car, stance is THE most important part and something I spend the most time on. In the back...
I can also report that the Kilmat on the floor and firewall has worked out pretty well. The cab feels more “solid” and the noise is reduced....
Thanks for the tip. Thanks. It’s a 59 Cadillac hydramatic four speed trans. There is no neutral safety switch. When I put the engine and trans...
I’ve put down the Kilmat everywhere I could get to on the floor except under and behind the gas tank. I need to run about a half a tank out before...
