Looking good

**88JRFAN** · 05-06-2009, 06:19 PM

Looking good Robert. Will have to come by and hear it when i'm down that way next time.

bobbo · 05-06-2009, 11:01 PM

Thanks! I'll get a video of it running and post it. She sounds really good.

Trying to figure out the alternator bracket set-up and needing inner fenders. Soon. This has already cost me WAY more than I wanted right now...

**88JRFAN** · 05-06-2009, 11:22 PM

They always do. What's up with the alternator bracket?

kyull67 · 05-07-2009, 10:18 AM

So when are we racing?

sjarrett71 · 05-07-2009, 10:48 AM

Looking good buddy! Can't wait to see it, hear it, and maybe drive it?? BTW, I'm still trying to get my ignition switch out!

bobbo · 05-08-2009, 01:21 AM

69 GMC

Okay! Here she is with the new motor!

sjarrett71 · 05-08-2009, 09:15 AM

Nice work bobbo, that sounds great!

bobbo · 06-21-2009, 01:30 PM

Finally got some more done and will be doing some more next weekend. Kyle threw down some primer on the outside of the doors, as well as the cowl. Will be doing the rockers and floors next weekend as well as filling in the holes down the fenders and bed.

bobbo · 06-21-2009, 01:31 PM

Still need to tweak the cowl for a cleaner fit...

**88JRFAN** · 06-21-2009, 06:02 PM

Looking good Robert. Must be nice to have the truck one color again, as mine is not.

Can't wait to see it in person.

bobbo · 03-18-2010, 09:28 PM

So for some updates...

Haven't been able to do much as of late...But I did accomplish some three inch exhaust and new wheels and tires (well, new to me)...The fuel line is plenty clear of the pipe, made sure of that. The rims are 16's with some small tires. Trying to get the rockers and floors done but stuff keeps interfering...it'll get done soon, hopefully before the Magic Dragon show at the end of April....

**88JRFAN** · 03-18-2010, 11:46 PM

Looking good!!!

72BlckButy · 03-21-2010, 04:30 PM

Lookin' good bobbo!

I should be able to hear you heading to Magic Dragon, once you hit 44...

kyull67 · 03-22-2010, 01:47 PM

We should try another smooth cowl when I do those floors. It should work alot better with the front clip off and bolted to the cab.

culp7 · 03-22-2010, 10:55 PM

ohh nixa huh? you ain't to far from my place in Neosho

bobbo · 03-23-2010, 10:10 PM

About an hour and a half.

You in Neosho or Kansas?

bobbo · 03-27-2010, 12:03 PM

Got a shot in the April issue of Classic Custom Trucks magazine!

Iveldesigns is right above me.

Can we reuse the old one or start over?
