beautiful work!

**gigamanx** · 06-26-2019, 09:20 AM

Nice looking battery tray. I probably would have done the same but I have a horn in the way on that fender. Hopefully easy to unbolt from the fender if you ever need to remove your fender for work on the headers or starter.

Thanks! Very easy to unbolt. Funny you mention horns I was thinking a few days ago where to put them. I plan on mounting my horns on the bottom pan that is attached to the grill.

Please do. I have taken several great ideas off this board. Such a time saver.

28TudorAZ · 06-26-2019, 08:37 PM

Starting off by using paint remover on the doors. It actually removed quite a bit. Next it to use knot twisted wire cup brush to get the rest off. More work than I thought it was going to be.

28TudorAZ · 07-15-2019, 12:59 AM

Almost have the doors stripped and should have them painted in the next week. Also want to get the bumper mounted.

**joedoh** · 07-20-2019, 11:50 AM

looks super great! always love a project where the stated goals are the eventual outcome.

nice work, nice work, nice work. I said it three times because one wasnt enough and two still didnt get the point across.

Thanks!!!!! I'm trying but life keeps getting in the way. Had shoulder surgery for a torn labrum 2 months ago and that definitely slowed down my progress.

28TudorAZ · 08-25-2019, 12:27 AM

Got the doors on today. The high was only 101 although Wednesday its supposed to be 111 degrees. They need some work and so do the windows but I just want to get them on there. I found someone through a friend to do the wiring for $400. He will get it done way faster than what I would.

**gigamanx** · 08-26-2019, 08:38 AM

Looking good! Pretty sure my first drive I didn't even have doors. I was too excited to hear it run and go for a drive haha.

Thanks. Yeah I think if I would have went with a carb this thing would have been running before I put the doors on and running around the block.

28TudorAZ · 09-28-2019, 11:46 PM

Got the front bumper mount made and the bumper mounted. I will post pictures of the actual mount later. The bumper is about 2.5 inches back than stock.

**joedoh** · 09-28-2019, 11:51 PM

gorgeous man!

28TudorAZ · 09-28-2019, 11:55 PM

Oh if anyone has a passenger side front fender support laying around let me know. I can't seem to find one.

A wire brush and a little POR15 and now I need to put these bad boys on. Thanks to the person who helped me get the other side.

28TudorAZ · 10-27-2019, 11:23 PM

Had surgery on my wrist about 3 weeks ago and haven't really done much. Put the logo on the door and rusted the door today. Threw some plywood in the bed. Going to use it as a Halloween prop on Thursday.

**joedoh** · 10-28-2019, 02:27 AM

gorgeous man! get better!

Tempest67 · 10-28-2019, 11:02 AM

Nice work !

what is your method of 'Rusting'?

edgeleycanuck · 10-28-2019, 11:54 AM

In my opinion tucking in the front bumper is one of the most worthwhile modifications one can make to our trucks. Kind of a chip foose thing....."should have come that way from the factory " haha.

Thanks!!!! I just need to rap up all the little electrical stuff to wire it. I had a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist and had no idea it would be so invasive.

16oz Peroxide, 2oz Vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt in a spray bottle.

Totally agree. I even dropped it a little. It is too far out there from the factory.

Tempest67 · 10-29-2019, 01:12 PM

Thanks for the recipe.

Nice looking truck

28TudorAZ · 10-31-2019, 04:38 PM

Thanks guys. Used it as a prop for Halloween today.

28TudorAZ · 11-14-2019, 07:03 PM

Getting all switches and electrical installed. Stereo looks good.
