What did you do with your truck this week?

[Trollhole]

So I have been working every night for the past 3 nights. Last night I finally got to lay the black on the bumper and other parts.


Now I get to start putting it back together.

More.

Looks very nice Marshall.

I like it... The hard top side worked like a charm, thanks!!

I like the orange tires too.

I like the orange tires too.

I was thinking the same thing. They are just the icing on the cake!

Well, Marshall inspired me to freshen up the rattle can parts on my truck. I touched up the skids, bumpers, sliders, and rub rails.

Still crossing fingers on new tires this week.

CCOT fenders are on. These were the early ones that fit crappy. Work great for me because I won't cry when I smash them on a tree.

Windshield is on. Screwed the paint up getting it back on. Will need some touch-up. I'm starting to dislike the duplicolor paint.

Bib and hood are on as well as the hood hooks.

Knobs are in. Wiper and Hazzard are lit knobs out of an early Corolla. I also re did the cig lighter placements so I could get 2 in and have everything line up.
Lights under the Wide Band Air Fuel Ratio gauge are for Emegency brake, low oil pressure, and check engine light. I'll have to work on changing the name plates later.

Bed liner is in. It's cheap and covers the crappy looking floor.

And best yet was putting the new emblems on. I'll probably swap them out eventually for the metal ones once they come back from the plater.

Looks great Marshal. I wish mine was coming along that quick.....Damn job and family keep getting in the way of getting the "TOY" on the road. That color is awesome!!! I did get the engine up and running this past weekend.

Wow. Ton of work - you bringing that to Tennessee? Sure would like to see the engine. Glad you went with Orange - my favorite color.

Yep Bill I'm planning on having it there.

 

[Brock]

mine pales in comparison....just bought and received the new motor mounts since I had one tear at Uwharrie going up Dicky Bell. LOL

Then contemplated selling her and starting new project

 

[boombapslappy]

Great job Marshall!

I discovered yet another coolant leak in the 62...

Had to make a game time decision today. I just found out today that the Duratracs I wanted are on back order for about a month. So I bargained as best I could with 4WP and got a decent price on KM2's - they gave me free mount/balance and 20% off the warranty on a set of 5 tires. Picking them up on Saturday.

 

[71-CRUISER]

Cutting it a bit close aren't you?

 

[BMThiker]

speaking of cutting, we need to talk

They should serve you well - I'm getting the KM2's as soon as my AT's finish wearing out which should be later this year. What size did you go with?
