Re: 1972 Jimmy Resurrection

Nice work! I hope to visit Fernie before the end of May and I need to square up for the door sill plates.

Primer

a few spots I'm not totally happy with but we'll see how it blocks out with the guide coat. The cowl I'm going to have blasted as I don't feel like sanding the three paints jobs off that like I did the rest of the truck. The I can go wet on wet when I paint it separately and save my finger prints.

Finally Splashed it! GMC Terrace Blue, or green depending on the lighting.

Re: 1972 Jimmy Resurrection

Been a while since I've updated. I've been driving the Jimmy for two years now and have worked out all the bugs. The TBI set up from affordable fuel injection has been awesome! Starts first crank, tones of power and no flooding on steep hills. Got around to a few mods this weekend. I dropped in a HD44 front and a 60 rear with a dana power lok. The switch to 4.11's from 3.08's was a HUGE improvement! I switched to a one ton booster and master while I was at it. The first stop I nearly hit the steering wheel being used to the old brakes. The big 3/4 ton rotors and drums help as well.
