Got my seat mounts built today, I think they turned out great. Now I get to take 'em out paint 'em and put 'em back after the carpet goes in. Tomorrow I build the exhaust then the cab can go on.

JHART · 10-25-2007, 12:04 AM

What do you have on those headers to make them look that clean? Doesnt look like ceramic coating ... i could be wrong.

Looking amazing!

Finally got the cab back on and hoping to temp rig the engine to fire. After sitting for 2.5 years I think it needs some oil circulation.

I'm going to start that process tomorrow (Saturday November 10th - The Marine Corps Birthday) and was wondering what I'm getting myself into, as I want to do the POR-15 thing myself.

I think that we even have the same headers and plugwire looms!

Finally finished painting the front clip a couple weeks ago. Now it goes on the truck.

thirdstreettito · 12-21-2008, 11:53 PM

WOW! My mouth is watering!!! Beautiful truck!

Tycoon4u · 01-12-2009, 12:01 AM

I got more done on the front end, grill loops, parking lights, and got the dash pad in. Still working on the wiring and heater controls. I hope to be firing up the engine in the next couple weeks.

Rack Man · 01-12-2009, 12:15 AM

Nice job....great Build!!!

What color is that body ?......sure looks a lot like the 67 color of Vermillion Poly (at least on my laptops monitor)

Tycoon4u · 01-12-2009, 12:20 AM

I tried to use the original virmillian poly laquer but I couldn't get it to look good enough so I found a burgandy enamal that looked close.

Thats awesome...I love that color.....My first truck was Vermillion...I'm actually thinking about painting my 70 that color w/the two-tone white top like yours...You just don't see it very often......so It's cool to see in fesh paint!

LuckyHenriksen · 01-12-2009, 12:59 AM

Looking great man. I like the way its all going back together so cleanly. I like the shop with the hoist!

**70cst** · 01-12-2009, 09:20 AM

Very nice! Great work.

tdave00 · 01-12-2009, 10:48 AM

Looks good. Those space heaters make all the difference in a garage this time of year

VA72C10 · 01-12-2009, 11:38 AM

Looks great! I'm sure you noticed it, but I would vacuum off/blow off the dust on the heater box/etc. before you get any more interior in.

70c10 · 01-13-2009, 08:43 PM

Looks great so far!

theyammieguy · 01-13-2009, 08:55 PM
