The alignment of the front clip is never going to be bang on perfect because of the abuse this truck suffered at the hands of it's previous owners. BUT this truck isn't all about being aligned and looking pretty, this is a hot rod pickup after all. My whole idea behind this build from the start was to put all the money into getting it lowered properly, steering properly, have a wicked power train set up and a nice interior. The outside of the truck is going to be left with some dings and dents to add to the character of the look I'm going for.

How's your fleetside coming along bud? any new pictures of the patina paint you were working on?

I tried to sand a little on the hood but it didn't work out so well. I think I will just start to wash it off each week with Acetone and a brillo pad!

my awesome wife spent some time putting sound deadener in the cab tonight. SHe always does such a nice job on the detail work. This was some stuff we picked up at home depot and glued it down using 3M Supper 77 spray adhesive. I also picked up the material for the rear tubs from my local petroleum dealer. Tomorrow we start the wiring process

Dubie: Make sure your rear tubs don't oil can on you. BTW, your rad is at the bus depot. I don't know when it will leave. I was real busy so I got my son-in-law to take it down there. He will call me this morning and let me know when they will ship it.
